Mmm - oohh problems, problems!

Had a bit of luck, this week, my Dad retired and had a big payout and split haplf between my brother and myself! £5k in the hand! So... Just upgraded to a new EOS 450D which I needed (use an old 300d at the moment) and am going to spend £2.5k of it going to Japan for the eclipse next year for my partner Rachel and myself...

Heres my problem! The other £2k of it I was thinking on spending on a skypod dome (I fancy these rather than a shed or whatever as I can move it to a new house if we move or whatever and I'll always have it as something I would never have had and my Dad sorted me with - I'm sentimental like that!) - Heres the rub... 40 ft garden, flower beds either side as Rach has just gotten into gardening - Is hypnosis or sodium pentothal a good way of bringing her around to the correct (my) way of thinking?! We got the space, just need to persuade her that a large domed plastic shed is just the thing the garden has been missing.

Any suggestions?!

Oh, to have my problems... I expect I'll generate a few tears with this one... :crybaby:

Shrubs....

Infront of the dome just keep them trimmed to the top of the wall

I'd spend the spare 2 thousand on the girlfriend!

Bound to impress and best to keep in the good books, that way your both getting something good.

Don't invest it in Iceland though

About £3.50.

That was yesterday it's gone down since then

And unfortunately I can't keep her in the garden to keep my gear safe and dry. And don't think I haven't asked...!

Shouldn't laugh at that but can't help it.

Its like the old joke with Peter Mandelson and Gordon Brown. Peter asks Gordon for 10p to phone a friend, Gordon says 'here's 20p then you can phone them all'

Whats the difference between an investment banker and a 12" pizza?

A 12" pizza can still feed a family of four!

What's the difference between an investment banker and a pigeon?

A pigeon can still lay a deposit on a new car! :laughing3:
