    Default good wife!

    Hi all,
    My wife was helping her sister choose a wedding dress yesterday and as it turned out the dress shop was a few shops up from Carbatec in Adelaide.
    I had asked her to return some parts that were the wrong size and while she was there she got me a little gift! A 100mm and a 1250mm bessey k-body clamps.
    She knows me well.

    Congratulations to you both, mate. You must be doing something right, too!

    Now to see how well you know her. Is there ever such a thing as "a little gift"?

    If it's really that straight forward, then you're a very lucky fella.

    Not a trick...a transaction.

    Should you fail to complete your end of the unspoken arrangement, you just might find yourself violently awoken one morning following her having used one of those clamps on your person.

    Hahaha classic! I'll have to keep them locked in the shed for my own protection! I have been doing up the kitchen so I think she understands the value of good tools.

    Cheers oldfarmer, I do feel very lucky to have married my best friend that's supportive of my hobbies and me of hers.

    I humbly retract my scepticism. Doing up the kitchen deserves a showering of gifts.

    Now you need to worry about the precedent you've set.

    Simple renovations are usually done by simple renovators.
