    OMG! I Created a Monster!

    After the ceilidh a few weeks ago, the wife decided to order herself a couple of ladies kilts.

    She's now looking at buying me an Argyll of BPC jacket, bought herself another kilt and a kilt pin and is looking at making a couple more kilts for herself.

    What have I done!?

    At least you don't have to sneak around, now you can feed your addictions together!

    That's so cool, that you and the Mrs have found a common interest there.

    My wife seems completely uninterested in such things, only having a couple pieces of Celtic style jewellery. But she does love listening to Old Blind Dogs, Tannahill Weavers, Silly Wizard, Danu, Planxty, and so forth.

    It will still work out just a tad cheaper than diamonds though!

    Re: OMG! I Created a Monster!

    This is a GOOD thing!

    Welcome to the club...lol! Let's just say I have found it quite rewarding, in terms of purchasing items regarding Highland attire, being married to a Scottish (Robertson of Struan, Clann Donnachie) lass, who actually 'gets it!'

    Cheers,

    Yep. You know what they say, "Diamonds are forever, but kilts are a girl's best friend."

    Consider yourself lucky!

    Thanks for the commiserations!

    Having just found her favourite tartan at £60 a metre, I think she may just rethink that one
