Do you ever buy things/gadgets for your van without telling your partner.i recently bought some items on the q t and found them yad and discarded.had a parcel arrive just recently and got caught ,have you???
 
Not possible...... She'd spot it a mile away.
 
I do it all the time, whether it be for the van or fishing gear or tools or whatever.

Julie orders so much stuff herself that she wouldn't even notice a few extra parcels being delivered for me, and if she does I just tell her that I'd told her about it when I ordered it.

Difference is, hers is all useless stuff like clothes and handbags and other such rammell my stuff is proper blokey kind of gear.
 
Lee buys bits and pieces off eBay and I get the email confirming the transaction so no secrets here! Of course if I buy anything he doesn't know.....
 
Never. If I'm buying online I get him to pay for it anyway.;) If he don't like, hard cheese. Works the other way too, but he pays for all. I must point out we have joint bank accounts.:p
 
If Bill buys anything on EBay my phone pings but i5 doesn’t matter because we both tell each other what we are buying however if he knew how much my iPad and iPhone cost he might have a little moan but as he does not do mobile phones it will never be an issue ????
 
My other half has a hot line to China and Amazon...there are always parcels arriving! If it's for the Moho then I'm happy....he doesn't need to be sneaky! Although some things have been more successful than others....the stick on compass that wouldn't stay stuck and would fly off at any given moment...that was fun!!:D
 
Well i walked in with a box I had delivered to work containing 12v blue ray player and Caz says I never heard them knock :)
 
Yes. Gadgets especially, just fitted a key fob operated relay to the external light nice to turn on from a distance 4 pound something with free postage from China simple to fit a pain to programme unless you can read badly translated Chinese. Also have led lamps and a new shower waste pump amongst other things I do show her them on our next trip out which is very regular just to make sure she doesn't believe we have a van fairy that does things whenever we are home.
 
I've just ordered the milenco lock can be locked from inside as well.Didnt tell him until after
 
I just brought a new portable speaker for van with out Sylvia knowing.
But she soon found out when I blasted the music out .
Ears now ringing.??????
 
I Must be the worst culprit on here what a deal I got on E&P £ 300 same for air suspension £300 and would you believe it I got an efoy for £300 but think she’s getting suspicious just got an electric motorcycle guess what £300
 
I tell Maggy it is something I bought years ago and didn't fit, if I am expecting a delivery I stay at the front working on the van so I can see them arrive, that reminds me, I have to go and do a few jobs at the front
 
It’s surprising what you can buy in the pound shop too, everything’s a pound, amazing. Just put the item in one of their carrier bags and walk in and say what a bargain I got.
 
Just bought some nice led bulbs for side lights ,had to go to Halfords for a driving lamp bulb as it was out .just about cracked my pants what they charged for a h3 halogen blub
 
E&P hydraulic self levellers :)
I got some of those as well BUT she gave me £2000 towards them so I guess that is permission, First time we used them they needed block under as the field was so steep they didn't go far enough down to level the body. carry 6 chopped scaffold plank pieces in a bag she gave me to hold them in the garage.
