I’m sure we’ve all done it…. gone “hmm, I know we’re budgetting and I shouldn’t be shopping online (have more important, yet boring things to spend my money on, like bills and food).. but I just have to buy this little something, and it’s quite cheap so we can afford that…. ohh, and I’ll have to buy that to go with it…. and that too… and that one….”

and then you realise that you’ve bought quite a few little somethings…. and now you are going to have to explain yourself when the packages start rolling in and justify your purchases to hubby

So I’m about to have to have a conversation with hubby that will probably go a little something like this…

Me: Ohh, just letting you know I bought some things online
Him: yes??
Me: well I had to buy a Lego Mace Windu, because he has a purple lightsaber…. and then they were also selling Slave Leia, so I got her…. and Vader – can’t not have Darth Vader!…. and it’s better to save on postage…
Him: Hmmm *brows furrowing*
Me: and then I couldn’t resist Chewy, coz he’s so cute!
Him: *scowls*
Me: umm… and of course I needed my own little mini army of stormtroopers…. so I got a few of those….. and since I have that display rack thing just sitting there, I’m planning to start a display… so I also needed to buy Bobba Fett, because you know I have a bit of a thing for him…
Him: *chokes*
Me: but it’s ok…. I’m having a pad special tonight, so I’m sure that will make up for my spending!

(I can’t not tell him, because I believe in truth and honesty in marriage, and…..more importantly….he’d notice a display rack of starwars figures suddenly appearing on the wall )

So in the interest of marital harmony…. and to justify my new Lego collection to hubby…..I’m having a sale!

Since it’s Talk like a Pirate Day, I’ve made up some piratey pads, and I’m taking a huge 30% off them for tonight until some time tomorrow….

So please go grab yourselves some bargains, and allow me to pacify my husband (see, it’s win win!)

and if all goes well, I might be able to go back and get some of the other things on my wishlist (got to have Yoda, R2, and some battle droids…. and a tauntaun…. and the list goes on….)
