My husband retired and now is the one to bring the mail in - so I have things delivered to my work instead.
My husband does appreciate it when I can get in my stash and pull together something with what I have on hand. He also is a great shopper - loves to go on shop hops and has a very good eye. I'm the one who has to put the brakes on our spending - even with fabric. So when I find a really good deal and he wouldn't understand why that can be purchased when I didn't get something else - I have them delivered to work.
One step at a time - maintaining peace in the household.
