Thanks everyone including you Dragon.
Hubby came home tonight. I mentioned that I joined this board. He looks at me and says " You are not going to collect smurfs too". I said OK. I failed to mention that I won that small lot last night on ebay. When the package comes I will just tell him that is Christmas present for him and he cannot open it until Christmas.
Another good excuse I have used ( when I am not supposed to be spending money) is when a new package arrives I tell him that is something I ordered months ago and since it was coming from another country it took awhile to get here.
