Sulking

Arghhhhhhhh

I badly wanted to go and watch Flight Of The Conchords in Manchester but couldn't get original tickets when they went on sale.
Very tempted I was to get them from touts off Ebay but simply couldn't afford them so OH suggested we could try touts on the night.
Secretly I hoped that OH had gotten me some for my birthday but when I realised I was buying myself half an IPad for that occasion I finally let the idea go.

I WOULD KILL TO GO AND SEE FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS!

Someone has just posted on my Facebook that they have spare tickets for tonight.

a) I have no money
b) OH is on lates (finished 30 minutes after the gig starts)
c) I have no babysitter (family live 30 minutes away)

It starts in 3 hours and it's an hours drive away.

What's a girl to do?

Con-Artist

I think I have just been conned.

The IPad is available on pre-order from tomorrow and OH, who is a massive technology geek,has been talking about it for ages and read every review and article with excitement.

He made reference to it again when he arrived back from work, saying he was unsure about whether to order it or not.

For reasons unknown to myself, I then sold the idea to him and even handled his objections???

When we moved in together, I accepted that anything electrical was his domain and that he would probably spend sufficient finance on keeping his/our technology current. I also appreciate that he doesn't go out much or spend his money on other luxuries. When he said he wasn't sure if he would have enough money at the end of the month to cover any emergencies, I reassured him that I had spare funds and he could use my money to pay half if he wanted.

He looked chuffed, almost relieved. Perhaps he thought he would struggle to convince me that we needed an IPad but I had done all the hard work for him?

Yet I was pleased that he was pleased.

After high-fiving me in excitement, he informs me that obviously this means that he won't have enough money to buy me a birthday present (I'm 33 this month) but that we could share the IPad (even though I'm paying half anyway.)

Hmmm...It's a good job I love him!
