Last week, I stumbled across one of his 'hide the clutter' efforts in an unused drawer of the filing cabinet. Feeling energetic, I decided to sort it out!
Well, there are rewards for the hard working because, in an unopened envelope I found a very nice, healthy cheque that DH didn't even realise he had!
And so, doing what any good (read 'overworked and unappreciated!') wife would do, I banked the cheque and went on a spending spree!
Appreciate below then the fruits of my shopping labour:
Two brand new dinner sets (hey, its predecessor was chipped and cracked so we needed a new one! And you never buy just a single dinner set for your day-to-day use!)
A new purse for me (the old one was definitely broken!)
Birthday presents for upcoming friend birthdays! Notice that I haven't revealed them here, in case said recipients just happen to stumble along here:
New pink igloo bed for Ruby....the old one needed replacing and it gets so cold in the laundry at night in winter! ;)
A new serving plate to replace one that the 12 year old broke.
And lastly (and the best bit!) a new pair of shoes for me!!! After all, a girl always needs new shoes, right!
Oh what fun....there is nothing like a spend up and unfortunately, they are few and far between around here!
And in case you are wondering....yes, I did tell DH that I spent his cheque and of course, I could justify every little thing that I bought.....well.....almost! Tee hee! ;)
