If you are justifying it to your lady then I'm not sure you need to worry. Surely £200 for a pair of shoes is a bargain, she'll understand.

If you're trying to justify it to yourself..........Good Luck

Idiots guide to woman maths...

I earn it, bills are covered, savings are covered, I want it, I can afford it, purchase complete.

Does that help?

There is no such thing as woman maths, only womans logic, which is the antithesis of man maths. Womans logic is indisputable, it cannot be argued with, it cannot be placated and it can never, ever, be wrong. But it can be used against them. And when it is, they crumble. Sometimes they cry. This is when the genius of man maths wins. You only need to know how to turn their logic against them.


I haven't figured it out yet.

Why the roll eyes? As far as I can tell, this differs in no way from man-maths.

Me: I (over)pay the mortgage, all the bills, full ISA allowance, and buy what I fancy with the rest.

You: rolleyes typical woman

Really?

Just to make 1 thing clear guys.
I am sadly (or very happy to be) single, so there is no woman in the equation.
The woman maths was considered as the problem applies to shoes.

Spending money in these trying times is difficult and man maths is getting more complicated.

But i am intelligent and seem to come up with solutions when i see fit.
I can still do the rubics cube. When i lose that i will give up smile

So you were trying to think like a woman? Feck me Derek man has been trying to understand how a womans mind works since the beginning of time, chances of you managing it over a pair of shoes is about as likely as me shagging Scarlet Johanssen.
