JamesEagle Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I've been well and truly caught - missus found a credit card statement with a long list of CD purchases on it, she went a bit like this: She ain't happy, just about managed to calm her down. Going to have to have a break from buying for a while... Oops! Note to oneself - Always cover your trail. BTW, Who wears the trousers at home mate? Who wears the trousers? Huh! You're asking me who wears the trousers? Tsk. ... she does, big time! Trail usually covered, she did a bit of prying, erm, I mean cleaning, the rest is history. Tough break, but it's going to mean a few CD-less months. Still, I have a huge backlog to get through, so there is a bright side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdjunky41 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hang in there James!! My shopping has dropped big time.. In fact, there's very little I have to hide from the Mrs. Since We're getting new windows put in our house and a vacation in october, my dry spell may last awhile..

JamesEagle Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Dry spells suck. Big time. Might have to buy Tour de Force - World on Fire before I stop buying for a long, long time though. Oops! I just did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdjunky41 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Good for you James!! I was pretty bad myself today.. Told the Mrs I spent $40.00 dollars today. In all honesty, it was close to $70. It will be my last big haul for awhile.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this huge bag with me and she didn't say "Only $40. Huh?". I was definitely a close call... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdjunky41 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 My spidey sense told me the TEN SECONDS OVER TOKYO c.d. was in the mail today. Knowing the mrs was home and sits in clear view of the mailbox. I took my sweatshirt with me and (low & behold) It was there. I wrapped it in the shirt and went into my house. I left it on the stairs in hopes she will not see it.. She just went to bed and my newborn is safe up stairs.. I do miss this excitement.. It's been way too long..

It's a nightmare when you get caught though. I have my own bank account and changed to online statements recently, but the stupid arseholes sent me a paper one as well this month for no apparent reason. £75 on CDs in a month; wife opened it and gave me a massive earful. She'll kick me out if it doesn't stop! My only hope is to spend so much that she literally explodes when she sees the next statement.

cdjunky41 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I feel your pain James.. I know a guy who has this massive NASCAR Model car collection. He actually went out and got a p.o. box from the local post office to hide his addiction. That's actually a brilliant Idea, but It's the thrill of almost getting caught. Is what i'm after..

I did it once with MONSTER records. Since my company is renting off the UPS building, my shipment went there instead of my company. I can't risk that again..

JamesEagle Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I've had CDs sent to a friend's address before, or even my parents' place. Then I have to smuggle them into the house in my rucksack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I have to smuggle them into the house in my rucksack. Dude stuff them around the waistband of your pants(around the back works best) and just strut in the door and quickly hide them,works for me all the time. We also have a thick dense bush out the front door that i've hidden my booty in before i go in the front door,yeah i know it's sad i have to sink so low but it's worth it.
