Bad habit

Go along to a Financial Adviser..tell him what you have done and how much you have spent and watch the look of horror spread across his/her face as they realise the dire financial implications of not putting your money in the right place.
Then they will try to correct your bad habits..or so they think. But in effect you are transferring your guilt to them and then they will have sleepless nights knowing that the world is seemingley full of people like you and we are all doomed.
Hmmm...my caravan insurance is due next week, better make my own appointment.

Whenever I feel the need to justify my 4wd and caravan to myself I just take a look in the wife's shoe and clothes cupboard. :)

It can be a harsh Mistress, this four wheel driving Wim. At least you're not wasting your hard earned dollars it on wine, women and song.

That's the way we roll...lol.

Cheers Mick

If it is too hard for you to handle, you can donate it to a worthwile charity....like me for instance..lol.

Seriously the accessories on my vehicle have topped $30K much more than the vehicle is worth.

To paraphrase George Best " I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and 4WDs. The rest I just squandered."

Hi Wim

Yes there is an organisation, you can find the details down at your swambo's hair dressers, look for the brochure titled 4b-anon, your wife is most probably a support member and they have loaned her the support kit with subliminal guilt tape, check for a small speaker under your pillow.

I found the brochure and tape cover for the above organisation in my wife's knicker draw by mistake.

I contacted a mate over at the local 4wd drive accessory shop, he was able to put me in touch with the anti-4b-anon association. They were very supportive and loaned me the anti-4b-anon cure tape for use under my swambo's pillow.

This tape has worked a treat, we are now talking about what else we need for the big trip, she has cut back on her weekly hair dressing appointments, no new clothes and is even talking about Ebaying her Marcos collection of shoes to raise funds for further accessories.

I must confess Wim, I now feel like a sinner, but the local 4wd driving Chaplin has assured me that I will get over it, you just have to go and sit in the shed with a good red and think about all the people you can now help with this information.

Have a red for me . . . . )

Cheers

You could always try what I did, many years ago I bought a nagfacta10. They wash iron and feed you but in return it will nag the cr@p out of you whenever there is fun to be had. After all that is what a "Bad habit" is isn't it? (Something that is too good to stop?)

But be warned, over time the washing, ironing and feeding cycles get shorter whilst the nag cycles get longer.

Enjoy your bad habit as much as the rest of us do. Bugger what the fun police say.

Cheers, Trevor.

4wding fairy tale!

One day, a really really long long time ago,

There was a wife,

who loved 4wding

and

didn't nag the heck out of you.

But,

It WAS a really really long long time ago,

and

It was ONLY for the one day.

The be-leagured 4wding husband, then one day summonsed his naggig wife to him and said;

"You know what?'

to which the nagging wife said;

"No - what?"

To which he replied;

"If I'm going to be nagged to death - its gonna be bye a much younger & prettier looking woman than you"

with which, he handed her the divorce papers and left, to travel off road & fish all around Australia, with his new, younger, prettier, woman, and lives happily ever after, at least to this day.

The end.

;o)

Moral of the story?

Life's too short to live with a nagging wife!

Cheers!
