Wife just asked how much my telescope cost !

[Danjc]

So I told her £400 which technically is true (SW ED80) as my dad gave me some FLO vouchers for Christmas so it takes it to just over £400.

However she didn't ask about the FF/FR, M48 ring adapter, ZWO camera, and several other bits so its all good  ?

I often read these type of threads.
I must have been lucky with my wife, if I hinted I wanted something her reply was always the same "If you want it get it". The problem with this was it always made me feel guilty.

Why get a wife?

[fozzybear]

[knobby]

Rother Valley optics do 'wife receipts' if you ask them ... I bought a Skywatcher Sam counterweight kit there for £9 ?

[fozzybear]

I did pose the question as being a smoker if I gave up could I use the funds the progress my astro hobby (answer No) says a lot frugal penny pinchers

TBF my wife is great and couldn’t ask for more but I would be pushing it if I said I had spent over double what I had said. 

[Davey-T]

All my scopes cost £50.00 and she thinks that's too much

Same here. And it works the other way too.

[fozzybear]

I blame someone on here to rename nameless who sells good kit at a good price and I surcume to the temptation.... dam it

Good job I'm my own wife ?

[Danjc]

Personally I don’t drink but could be one of those blokes that spend countless hours in the pub wasting their money.  

Plus when the scope comes I can use it for visual with my 9 year old daughter so that’s a great bonus.

I'm in the same boat - maybe it isn't a boat at all but a parallel universe? ?
