Blogging Can be Detrimental To your Wallet !!!

Well finally here it is - Blog No 2! Not quite the blog a day guy am i? However i intend to blog only when i feel i have something that is blog worthy (can I say that, Blog Worthy, that's a bit self indulgent of me isn't it? Who says I blog well anyway!)
Any way, i have just returned from a trip to Sydney to visit my 94 year old mother on her birthday, good innings that one - sure hope it is hereditary ( Damn, and that's no good either - I'm adopted, but that's another story) My luck  as per blog 1 held out for me with delayed flights, bad weather and a birthday present that may yet turn out t be useless - apparently hearing aids and TV headsets are not exactly compatible.
Back to my blog point, whilst away my darling gorgeous wife continued to blog so i had some reading to catch up on, and buried between her love of frogs and pictures of nature (great shots too) were two blogs that revealed some thoughts that she had not said to out loud -  read on:
Point 1:
Apparently i am a phsycic (Physco maybe but Physcic???) I have predicted the demise of her beloved DSLR camera which has decided it needs to go to a better place in the sky!  Normally a person would be pretty chuffed at being able to predict the future but no, not me, i of course failed to predict the four figure sum to replace said beloved camera!!! (which i will do with love in my heart and great happiness for the finance company who own my credit Card !)
Point 2:
My darling GW also disclosed a yearning to return to her native country town in the Riverina and visit her best friend whom she is missing greatly. Being the ever loving husband this brought a tear to my eye and fiendish plan to my head - I would cash in all my frequent flyer points and get a real cheap return airfare to her destination!!!  What a plan, what a great idea. what a blasted con job !!! After searching for dates and available bookings for the required travel I boldly set off into the unknown territory of booking flights and paying via a loyalty program thinking how great is this!! That was until i got the bit about the entering the flyers name, at which point i duly typed in my GWs name - which was immediately rejected!  "Sorry, the name you entered does not match the name on your card" No bloody kidding, i don't want to go i want to send my wife!!
Well no amount of reentering would let me get around this obstacle so i did what all red blooded males finally do - I read the terms and conditions of my loyalty program and right there in black and white in paragraph 3.7.99.01 ver 2 it Say's and i quote "Only the card holder can travel" I will give you three guesses as to which expletives fell out of my mouth !  Now What? Well that was the easy part, carry on regardless and pay full price!
GW is now booked to visit her best friend for two glorious weeks, although it will be cold there in july and travelling on fully paid (not redeemed ) seats! This little exercise has cost a lot more than my great plan thought it would but it will repay itself to me in the love i have for GW and the great delight she will have in visiting her very best friend in  the world !!!!
So, whats the point? 
1. Read the fine print first !
2. If you are going to read your GW's blogs then be prepared to make her the happiest person in the world!!!!!
(  A Little self indulgent this blog - but i love GW so much and was so happy to do this for her that i thought it worthy of a little blog from me )
