How much more has your Westie cost you...

[Mrs Westy]

Burn all women's shoes as well...make women walk around in their socks

But Westy, you're so tall and I'm so short that if I didn't wear any shoes I'd only come up to your....oh....err....I see.  In that case, your theory is flawless

I know i'm joining this thread a bit late but so far my westie has cost me in the region £30k  :0  - the logic behind it went a bit like this ...

Me:       "I want to buy a Westie"

SWMBO: "But you've nowhere to keep it"

Me:       "I can fit a garage into the yard"

SWMBO: "But what about your OTHER car?"

Me:       "Hmmmm......"

Then the penny dropped   - it was too late when I realised where this conversation was going ...

SWMBO: "We NEED to move house" :0

Me:       "So - we need a house with a double garage"

SWMBO: "But we also need a guest bedroom, a bigger dining room, a bigger kitchen, AND somewhere for all your junk"

Well, to cut a long story short (as Mrs Westy would say )we managed to find the right garage (with house attached  ) - although it did (still does) need a bit of work. A month after moving in - I bought my Westie. The work on the Westie is progressing nicely, and the work on the house - well .... there's always the winter when its too cold in the garage    - maybe I ought to put central heating in there -  hmmm ... there's a good home improvement idea

Jest ye not.  I was sent to B&Q to buy an oil filled radiator for the garage.

Unfortunately, they didn't have one, so I bought some kitchen units instead  :0

OK that last bit's a lie, but as soon as we move house, I'll be a-buying those units

...so, in conclusion, 2 of you reckon  you've spent less than £500 more than you said; and I'm not sure I believe you.

And about a third have spent over £10,000.  Plus I reckon those who had to bribe their Mrs Westies with new fitted kitchens also fit into that category; so it's probably closer to 40-50% have spent over 10K more than original guess.

Now, we've spent about £10K over in five months.  Does this not bode well for the future...
