    OK, I'll buy.
    Now how do I hide this from my wife, in this season of goodwill, without getting put on 'short rations' for the foreseeable future if caught

    I am now the proud owner of said boots. They are absolutely mint. They are now hidden in the attic until a more suitable time to reveal to my wife, probably about next April :(

    This is what I would do - "look here woman, I am the man of this house and if I want to buy some new boots then I will".

    Im sure I will recover fairly quickly and hospital food isnt all that bad now.

    That's it !!! I'll tell her Santa dropped them in the attic when he was delivering. Mind you, she doesn't believe a word I say anyway, trouble with second wifes, they never trust you:fie:

    Hi milky

    Just an idea to try, but could go either way:

    1. Start flapping your hand like a mouth opening and closing then say "any more of that"
    2. Then grabbing your crotch with the other hand say "you get none of this"

    A mate tried it in the middle of a massive row with his wifey only to get a slap in the face, but worked for me, she just burst out in laughing, situation defused, and a leg over, jobs a good un.
