Impulsive Purchases

My girlfriends and I (all married) were having a discussion last night about big purchases. It seems that if hubby wants it you go out and buy either today or tomorrow. If we would like it we have to work on them slowly, or else have it impact on the hubby so he also then wants it for us to be able to purchase it. e.g. When we moved into the house we live in it had carpet in the meals area We had a 12 month old baby. You can imagine! Took me 2 years to convince hubby to rip out the carpet and replace it with a wood floor. It is so nice and so much easier to clean. If I had of been able to make it his job to clean te carpet we would have ordered the new floor promptly I'm certain of it.
