My predicament and the Big Question? |
|
I have a predicament I would really like your advice on.
I can’t run it by my friends as they will not really understand the sensitivity of the issue, plus they keep jumping at tangents and will no doubt come up with the wrong answer.
So I thought of no one better to advise, than the Disco3 forum members.
My wife has recently on odd occasions started to come home very late from work.
She doesn’t phone to tell me and her mobile is always switched off.
It’s so late that by the time she’s home, I’m tucked up in my bed half asleep.
Thing is though, I hear her heels as she walks to the front door, but it takes her another 2- 3 minutes for her to get indoors!
But, I then hear other footsteps quietly walking away.
This was starting to play on my mind and I thought something was afoot.
So last night [one of the nights she’s late is always a Friday] I decided I would hide in the drive and see what she was really up to.
At 11pm I went out and crouched behind my D3 [whilst there I noticed my tyre dust caps had gone].
Sure enough at 11.45pm she came home arm in arm with another man!
After a few minutes kissing & fondling she entered the house and he quietly walked away.
So, the BIG Question is: When replacing the dust caps, should I get them in metal or plastic???

Plastic Practice safe eating - always use condiments.

Plastic, but I'd also set up an infrared CCTV 'cos some little beggar is nicking the dustcaps
