freebird 0 #1 January 14, 2003 I had to put a $167.00 vacumm cleaner on the ( his) credit card. I accidently threw away a componet that I thought could be replaced every 6 months. Truns out only part of what I threw away should have been thrown away and I had to buy another one (vaccum). We have a hairy cat and this $167. vaccum is the only one that works. Should I tell him before he gets the statement? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lolie 0 #3 January 14, 2003 Tell him the last vacuum stopped working, or something on it broke, or something... unless he's a really handyman sorta guy, in which case you could... I don't know... do something else.

SkydiveMonkey 0 #7 January 14, 2003 Could always tell him you even got the "special" attachments for it Just say the old one broke, and you needed a new one. ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #8 January 14, 2003 Tell him you had a sudden desire to spend $175... you could have either got your self a nice male "escort" for an afternoon or you could have got a vacumm.

freebird 0 #9 January 14, 2003 You could remind him that you were prepared to give up a kidney for him Tiff...... Thats gotta go some ways to keeping him calm..*** You would think. He is very tight with money. He mentioned something about greman resturant tonight. I will tell him there. That way he can't yell. Because believe me he can yell.His eye clinic has an old vaccum that the staff hates I could remind him of that and say it would be great for the clinic. These are the problems we will keep having unless I work. I can work and go to school. Here I go changing the subject. Damm maybe I do have ADD.He just hired a little slut too. Last bitch he hired was hanging all over his balls. The staff tells it allI will tell him over dinner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #10 January 14, 2003 Yikes, maybe I should take my own advice and mind my own business, but if it's really that difficult to tell your husband you accidentally did something and bought a new $167 vaccuum cleaner, then it sounds like the issue may go beyond the vaccuum. Since you are married I'm assuming any money is both of yours, not one or the others. But, if not, then in the future, I might have consulted him BEFORE you bought a replacement.

freebird 0 #11 January 14, 2003 I might have consulted him BEFORE you bought a replacement. *** I was affraid.He shares his money with me and my name is not on the list of users for his credit card. Sometimes I can't use it because of this.Sometimes since he is my husband and we have the same last name and where people know me its fine. He does not let me keep it all of the time only for certain things a couple of times a month.Anyway your right I should have told him this only makes it worse.

petur 0 #12 January 14, 2003 Convince him that this vacuum cleaner is a very powerful one, the most powerful on the market, state of the art and a technological wonder with the motor going at 6000+ rpm etc... and the old one a "fisher price" piece of crap that "totally sucked"! Not only will he be proud of you, but he'll be showing off the new vacuum cleaner to his friends making them jealous!

jimmytavino 16 #22 January 14, 2003 So He has an EYE clinic,,, and a Staff..??? Then hell, don't sweat it...sounds like he can afford it, and you should have been able to just "tell him" that the purchase needed to be made... Not."ask him"..... You ask your boss, you ask your parents, you ask your friends,,you ask your co-workers, but,, you communicate with , and you "notify" your spouse...

KawiZX900 0 #23 January 14, 2003 you know what a guy would do? contact the company that manufactured it. you're local re seller may be bullshitting you're naive self into believing it can not be replaced w/o buying a new vacum. you may be better off calling the manufactur and telling them it is a defective part. Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.
