How do you get purchases by your spouse?

[Tavi]

Occasionaly we'll get someone in the shop who will pay a small part of their purchase on the credit card, and the larger balance with cash or check. Their scuba toys appear much cheaper than they really are.

I tell her the shop required the purchase

Honey you won't believe the bargain I got on this scuba tank!

If I ever die out on the water because I didn't have a CZ7 of my own don't get suckered into selling this tank for $... you should be able to get $$$ easy.

LOL

I love it!

My solution (when I bought the HID) was more like simbrooks suggested: add it to the gear and he wouldn't notice for a month.

Of course, I'm single now, so don't listen to me....

Arent those props supposed to be in the water to drive the boat?? Some new magical outboard that actually makes the RIB hover and fly through the air. I reckon Zodiac should make a bid for the new, improved X prize (full orbit for $50M) if their technology is coming on that quickly!!!




BTW, i know the boat is jumping a wave, makes the most wonderful noise when it does that as the engine revs go up when the prop clears the water!

I split from my ex just before i went to buy my HID and now am still single, so here come some 104's, think my bank account does need a rest though - i have to be my own concience now and tell myself i just cant afford x or y rather than trying to waiting on someone else to get shocked at me

... you are talking to a guy with some high $$$$ toys.

Oooops... did I say *toys*? I meant *business expenses*.

I like the business expense idea!!!! Hope none of the members is an IRS agent...

As if I could sneak something past her; QuickBooks would point it out, and she does the books...

*sigh*

I often resort to good old All-American begging...

All the best, James

I just found a new PST 130 tank to buy. While I don't really need it, it will come in handy. I've used the safety excuse a few too many times recently, so how do I explain this one off? I can't tell her that I'm getting if for her - she doesn't dive. I'm waiting for Christmas to upgrade my 10W HID to 21W so I can't use that one. I'm sort of thinking Trick or Treat or "Hey sweetie how do you really feel about the presidential election?"

Obviously I need help...

Well, you know how I managed it ... but you'd probably like to continue living in the same house with her ...

Why do women have so much power over men???

I have a really simple answer:

"Honey, don't worry about it. I paid for it with my Spring Strap funds."

Now - I haven't figured out an answer to the next question which is "Just how much money have you been adding to your spring strap account?"
