Apologies for being off-topic but the point has already been raised...
You have my sympathies Rob, I know how hard it is to get through to SWMBO. Sometimes, mine will give me a wee ray of hope, by pointing something out that would be useful or by doing something like buying two of something on offer, so that I can put one by - then at other times, she'll poke a hole in the balloon with something like, "This is your thing, not mine!" or "We don't have money to waste on..."
The best advice I can give you is, don't quit but don't push too hard either. If yours is anything like mine, as soon as she thinks she's being persuaded, the heels dig in like crampons and that only makes it harder!
BP - 'drip-feed' is probably the way to go but I might correct you with, "One day, she might get it..."
quite right GG, lets just HOPE that all OH's who are not on board "get it" before TSHTF or it might be a case of " I told you so"!!
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
