Sneaking purchases...

I was reading another board about sneaking purchases past their husband's. I know I use to sneak before we started doing our finances together. I would actually come home during lunch to get the mail or unload packages. I was pitiful. Even now, I will bring things in the house and wince thinking how upset Devin would be with me.
So, have you ever hid purchases or not told your DH the whole picture of your finances? We use to horrible fights about finances. I would do the weekly budget and e-mail him it. We would discuss it and everything was fine. Then, he would tell me two days later that he was doing a marathon that cost $75.00. I had to actually ask him before we did the budget-Do you have any marathons? Do you need shoes? Do you have any equipment you need? Can you tell I

Hmmm, does this mean that I get to categorise myself as a SAHM too??? There are actually jobs out there that are this flexible. I have no set schedule, I set it myself according to ds's school hours and needs. There are absolutely no mandatory days that I have to be at work, though I do need to work a certain number of days per year (and even this is flexible...I always have the option of taking unpaid days off when I want). I have never had to request vacation time or wait for approval: I can set my vacation when I want and how I want, though I prefer to coordinate with my coworkers for politeness' sake. If I feel like leaving early one day on a whim when things are a bit slow, no problem. Covering snow days (actually, we've never had one now that I think about it) or teacher in-service days (I think it is called?) or sick days has never been a problem and if there is something going on at school or dc and I need to get to the kids...well, when it's come up I've walked out the door 5 minutes after getting the phone call regardless of what was going on at work. Not everyone has this level of flexibility...but I think there are a lot of people who do.

had to pipe in. I've been know to wear sheer silk in winter (where it WAS cold), and got in a *lot* of trouble when I wore a white silk dress to my friend's wedding.

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.
