DH couldn't take it anymore and said the couch was an embarrassment and stunk too bad and he was looking in the paper for someone else's old couch.(Which is odd for him to want used) I told him if we couldn't stand OUR stinky couch- why would we want someone elses? and that I would buy a new one rather than get used. (We've dealt with lice once before and I'm taking NO chances!)
So $1100 later, a couch, recliner, end table and coffee table will be arriving next week. DH thought I would chicken out because I usually do- I am not an impulse buyer and I usually pick up stuff at the store and put half of it back!
But once I got in the store I wanted the stuff to match, almost everything we own is 20-30 years old and showing it. At least I paid half of it on the spot in cash and got a 5% discount. The rest of it is on a 1 year/same as cash deal. I will pay it off after my GM card is done in March. It will only put me back a month and this furniture will go in the new house, so I can concentrate on putting everything on the downpayment instead of some for furniture.
I know it's a lame excuse-and we agreed we will not get each other anything for Christmas now. I need to take a deep breath now.........

But go ahead and keep feeling guilty so you don't go out and accidently buy new bedroom furniture.

Oh and the guilt has hung with me over the past year mind you and it probably will for a very long time!
And you also know exactly how many payments it will take to pay it off. donna
