Last week you may or may not be aware (depends if you read the thread on it) I had a freewheel problem.... which almost scrapped my back wheel, the problem has now been sorted and the wheel is okay..... I had contemplated buying a set of Fulcrum 7's at £150..... very soon (and was trying to convince Mrs V they were a good idea)....
But over the weekend I lost a filling and brought forward next months check-up at the dentist to get it sorted....
Due to complications with the filling, normal metal filling would now be too close to the nerve and would probably come out anyway. (And the dentist wasn't even keen on filling it anyway as the cavity is now very large and the tooth wall very thin) he had to use a non N.H.S polymer filling add to this the check up and hygienist's appointment I left about £150.00 lighter.... Irony or what....
I came back in a bad mood and the conversation with Mrs V went like this.....
Mrs V: Why are you so p*****d off
Me: Iv'e just spent £150... at the dentist....
Mrs V: so you can't really afford them wheels now......
Me: NO!!!!!!!!!!
Mrs V: You need to get your priorities right.... You'd rather spend £150 on wheels...... than your health?
Me: YES.... and that's why I'm P****d off ......
Mrs V:
On the bright side she has approved the use of the 'Tin gag....' I get a tin money box and fill it with any notes and coins I can spare without affecting the family finances (credit cards are used for extreme emergencies only and I can't convince her wheels fall in to this category) and I can buy them with her blessing
(which is how the Defy 2 was purchased....) she said you might be able to afford them for next spring...... I've got news for her its going to late summer this year.....
