    Keep nothing from her - you may be able to deceive her, but not yourself.

    I say this having lost my dear wife to cancer, 3 months back.

    She never, ever questioned my spending on my bikes - likewise, I never questioned her spending on her hobbies.

    at least, that is what we tell each other! :D
    Is there something you want to confess? Here is the place to release what is weighing heavy on your conscience. You can tell us....in confidence, of course :wink:

    Now, I see what you are trying to do there, but you should be aware that I have had professional media training, so:

    I would like to make three points if I may: Mrs Pneumatic and I have no secrets from one another, Mrs Pneumatic and I have no secrets from one another and, finally, Mrs Pneumatic and I have no secrets from one another.

    See what I did there! 8) 8)

    That's a lot of protestation of innocence!!

    I don't keep things from Himself because I'm useless at fibbing - and the postie usually tips up when he's in and I'm out if I've attempted to buy things 'on the quiet' 8) :wink:

    The last big thing I bought was a vintage tractor and that's kinda hard to keep a secret.



    Especially given that I was as giddy as f*ck about buying it! :lol::lol:

    that i have no idea where those marks on the kitchen floor came from... i know full well that they came from the cleats on my road bike shoes because i was too lazy to take them off whilst getting a water bottle.

    I tell my girlfriend nout, mainly because I don't want to know her secrets, so I don't tell her mind. Is that a bad thing?

    Hummm, not sure about that one. Do you plan on staying with her...as it's not exactly the basis of a long lasting relationship..;-)

    Little white lies yeah, but...

    I think these are the best secrets :D . OH is away at the moment and I relished in the fact I could sit on the arm of the sofa (frowned upon) whilst eating cottage cheese straight from the tub (unforgiveable). And then I had toast in bed. 8)

    Really sorry to hear that Nervex.. :cry:

    As for spending, as far as I'm concerned as long as you're not putting the family in debt you should be able to spend what you want, when you want. I also have no issues with the misses doing exactly the same. I really don't get all this secret stuff..

    On the rare occasion I am allowed such luxury I like to watch TV in my pants, drink as much as I damn well please and decide my own bedtime.

    isn't this taking the thread into entirley new territory 'things you do when alone in the house without your partner knowing?' - or does that have potential to plumb some murky depths (though that has never stopped us before...)

    I have to admit a liking for obscure documentaries about tanks when alone with the sky remote control. ('Tank Overhaul' anyone?). Once when my good lady came home and caught me watching one about a Sherman restoration I was asked why I couldn't watch porn like any normal male.

    You have a TV in your pants??

    That sounds as bad as opening the door in your dressing gown
