Just a curiosity poll from a discussion I was having , does your wife/husband/parnter etc know how much you spend on your mini or do you have other means of storing money for mini related purchases so they don't complain you are spending too much .

You don't have to publicly admit to anything but please still vote in the poll .

I want another option:

Yes, but only after it's too late.

Only the ones she finds out about....

It was hard to hide the second compressor.

All garage work involves equal measures of enthusiasm, ingenuity and a fair degree of irresponsibility.

That should be another poll altogether Een , "what's the biggest mini purchase you tried to get away without your partner finding out" followed by a description of what happened when you were sprung ....

I have nobody to ask/notify, so if I deem it necessary to spend $$$$$$$$ I will bloody well spend $$$$$$$$$$$

When it comes to being attached then I'd like to think I could continue spending money on my Mini's the same way and amounts but time will tell. I might have even more Mini's to spend more money on who knows??

Saving 'em for a rainy day...

Well, aside the fact that I dont have a mini to spend money on, I'd like to think that I could be open about my mini purchases, and that my partner will understand my addiction and encourage me in my hobbie. That being said, I'd like to be in a position where spending money on minis isnt an issue.
Also, if I have a partner who was into minis, I'd expect to treat them in the same way. (I'd be bias though, my mini would take priority of course)

It's normally the packaging that get's you caught though Peter , when are mini specialists and tool companies going to follow the lead from the porn industry and "all itmes shipped in plain packaging" to avoid embarrasment or getting caught
