Do you hide your goodies?

When you buy goodies for your hobbies do you hide or smuggle them in the house? Most of my mates and I do. It's much easier than explaining it to the boss :)

At least until it's got muddy, yes lol

MOF pretty good as getting stuff delivered all the time, Didn't notice my new awning for a few months
as I mounted it on drivers side lol, MOF has had 2 cataract Ops done. Those vintage ice boxes bit harder to explain

I get " where did that come from"? Had it for ages in the shed :)

Back when I flew rc helis I had the missus going.. the heli kept 'upgrading' and growing.. she caught on one day..
One I had to tell her about was the 2.4m edge 540..
This is it before I bought it.. 100cc twin up front..

I've said it many times I am a very lucky man as my wife is very understanding and is one of the boys but with all the good girly bits.
I love the patrol I drowned it the week before our wedding 6G later all fixed with 3 inch lift front locker new mt atz4 rib and she still married me

I'm into hunting everything is expensive but she enjoys me bringing home the bacon (pardon the pun) Now the shock of the initial cost has worn off its a cheap hobby but looking at getting another gun for Christmas maybe a remington xcr in a 7mm rem mag or a 300 win mag.

I also want to get a trail bike to ride to work and in the bush with my mates my wifes answer was yes as long as she can get on to join us in the bush and she get a new car first. Honest to god her choice of vehicle She wants a Nissan navara D40 with a tray to put the bikes in bulbar spotties radio etc

I listen to all my mates winge and complain about their partners Hell I cant even organise a boys trip away as they are not aloud So I class myself as a very lucky man No wonder I wifed her haha.

Um. After it was built, it was a bit hard trying to hide a mower that was capable of getting up to 90ks an hour up my driveway.

Cheap goodies I don't hide, no need, they're cheap.
Expensive goodies I don't hide either, just forget to tell her, purposely.

Guess I'm lucky like Macca86.
Not only is my wife the one who goes out to work to bring home the bacon, she always agrees to anything I want to buy provided we can afford it at the time. If we can't afford it I wouldn't be suggesting I buy it. That said neither of us lives an extravagant lifestyle. We don't go out socialising much, can't remember the last time we had a take away meal, went to a restaraunt theatre or cinema, many of our clothes come from op shops, but when I say things like I want to spend over 5 grand for a GVM upgrade on the Patrol she says "Yep OK if it's what we need". We only have joint bank accounts. Always have done. I reckon some blokes like to blow on about how they keep things from their wives just to not appear 'under the thumb' (but are - why else would they need to keep secrets), whilst others who keep secrets are destined for an unhappy relationship ending ........ like the husband of a friend of mine who, with them having just committed themselves to a mortgage, stretching themselves financially, came home one evening with a MGB GT he had just bought on impulse, had never even mentioned it to her until he drove it home ..... & he wondered why she was pissed off at him. She was smart & divorced him before kids arrived.

I`m with you Cuppa
We are coming up for 40 years married to each other and as you say joint bank accounts, own every thing, if we can`t afford it we don`t by it.We do go out to dinner and do a little socializing Lived in the same house 37 years owned cars for 15 to20 years at a time .We are both on the same page so no need to hide things and apart from that she would win the fight any way
