If you've got a joint account then don't even bother buying one.Apparantly the money that the new bass costs could be put to "better" use on things like food,clothes,bills etc .
Reminding the misus that you are the principle wage earner is the fastest way to several weeks kipping on the sofa .
I resorted to pleading,crying,and even self harm.Once the stitches are out I'll be able to play the new bass I got 4 months ago.......
