mathematics Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Gets paid more than double what I do, still taps me for petrol money at the tail end of the month cause she has spunked all her money on dresses and makeup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's got into the "I'll just return it" mindset to the point she'll buy something in three different sizes in the knowledge that she'll be driving to the post office to send at least two of them back. This'll be for a firm that has a store or two in the middle of town (4 miles away), where she works*. *works in town, not actually in the store. That would be lunacy.

Mine does send a lot of stuff back as well. There just seems to be a constant stream of stuff arriving from Amazon whereas I order stuff off Amazon about once or twice a year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I estimate that ~80% of packages that come to our house get sent away again. Perhaps I should be investing heavily in the postal market. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, (Amazon and others), some days there could be deliveries from 2 different couriers plus what comes in the post. Although about half of it's for step daughter nr 4. "I'm never in, there's no point getting it delivered to my house." Which isn't true, but there is nearly always somebody in our house.

ah-dee Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 im in the same boat as you guys when it comes her spending/shopping. ive mentioned it on here before that i gave her a substantial amount over the last few months (£3.5k give or take) and £1.5k was paying off a studio account she had. just today for example i have taken in 3 deliveries for her. all unnecessary shite. shes out for tea with her pals tonight so the boot in the pie shall be administered tomorrow morning and may be repeated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Shops online too much.Fucking ASOS. We have a joint account and seriously it must be like the mirror image of theirs. Constant packages being issued and returned. Belter is, we live in the arse end of the arse end of nowhere and she doesn't drive. So muggins here is either the sat morning taxi to the coffin queue to get it returned before an post shuts or I get the honours. Usually it's a few new dresses for some reason to get pissed or another and usually look like left over 80's couch / wallpaper patterns and oddly enough she thinks they look awful on her. Heaven forfend I order anything incase the delivery wakens the 6 month old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Current fashion for women is fucking horrible. No bloody wonder all the shops even online are struggling.It's all giant flowers in the summer and daft patterns in winter.At this rate I could design and make a dress she can return without me having to leave the house.It won't fit, it will be hideous and most likely fall apart. So no real change 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathematics Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 January is the best month for me, as Mrs Maths refuses to buy stuff which is on sale, meaning there’s duck all for her to buy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than my other half who just chucks them in the bottom of the sink. Because I'm a mug I pick them out and put them in the food bin, she must think they spontaneously combust or something. I left it once to see if she noticed, but after six were left staining the sink I cracked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
