well i get my shopping back in a variety of ways
1 i tell the kids to do it
2 i get my hubby to come with his big bike and stuff his top box
3 i say "if you want food you know where the shops are - i'm going out on my bike - you can either chase me or do the shopping"
4 i only buy what i need for that day (which has the advantage of not wasting food (i wouldn't like to upset the PM) and having the excuse of needing to ride my bike every day)
5 if i have ever had any whinges from him indoors the following usually works - "well just tell me darling what sort of wife you'd rather have - one who loves all things bike or one that doesn't cos i can always swap my addiction for visiting bike shops and reading bike mags for visiting clothes, shoes and handbag shops and reading gossip mags. now just tell me which you'd rather accompany me to and talk about! - its never failed. (which is just as well cos i'd just die if i had to traipse around clothes shops pretending i was enjoying myself!)
Sometimes its better to beg forgiveness than ask permission!!
