Indeed.Don't tell your wife, and just make sure you hide your new things from her and never mention them ever. Then see what other fun lies you can sustain for the duration of the marriage.
Ahhhh, the wonders of asking for advice on an open forum. Following the advice thus far I would be
a) in line for the Woman's Weekly husband of the year award
b) a prime applicant for a job in the diplomatic corps
c) a fully subscribed member of gamblers anonymous
d) the in the divorce courts
My wife is out picking up an injured hedgehog at the minute. I'll have to decide before she gets back but @welsh dragon is looking like my best bet as a marriage guidance counsellor so far.
Well spotted, I inserted a dollar sign instead of ice intended pound sign. Thanks, I've edited it.Since we don't trade in dollars in the UK this money will be worthless to you anyway.

Thanks for your slant on things, I'll try to keep it in mind.Why would you lie to your Wife, and why would you bet when your skint? Your more worried about your selfish needs that the needs of your family. Man the f**k up, go and stand in the corner and have a serious word with yourself.

In my defence, I spend £7.50 per week on the horses (a 50p lucky 15 on Saturday) hardly a kings ransom.
My wife is fully aware of this and actively encourages it as I quite often win a good few bob. In fact the money I spent was my winnings from a free bet Paddy Power gave me. More over, the creation of the thread was meant to be tongue in cheek, and which most people seemed to manage to grasp. I've never once lied to my wife about winnings, even when it has been a substantial amount, my Paddy power account is linked to our joint account so withdrawing winnings would be a bit difficult to keep secret.
No, not at all mate, I've got much more important things to spend money on.Be honest, you thought that cyclists would tell you to buy the gear so you could assuage the pangs of guilt that were gnawing at your vitals like a pack of rats. But no.. You'll have to deal with the rats yourself now!
Anyway only the bookies truly win on the horses and you are lucky if you get back 80% on any commercial gambling. Don't fool yourself, at best you are paying for entertainment.
Wife is home now, fessed up but I'd have been tempted to lie had I read your post first.But...but...don't you realise, that money could be spent on beer!
