What a sad person I am!

My DH is happy if I buy something, as it makes him feel less of a spendthrift. He is receiving deliveries from Amazon weekly!

Puzzled as to why you had your appointment cancelled.

Thanks skunkhair63 it's appreciated

I love anything new! Strangely though the thought of buying new clothes doesn't interest me atm. Don't know why when I used to spend lots on clothes.

Ok, explanations!

Appointment cancelled because although hairdressers can open, beauty salons can't.

And I should have said that what my husband, Mr P, actually said was therethere was sufficient funds available for us to be able to afford a new washing machine.

Actually, Foghornleghorn if you look back at the o.p. I didn't use the term "let me buy" at all!

Feel free to judge and comment, but check first to make sure you're on the right track.

When taking in my washing yesterday I noticed that my washing-line was splitting in a few places.
Today, I went to our local market. But not one stall holder had a line. Likewise in Wilko’s. I felt quite excited and relieved when I finally tracked down a shiny blue one in our B & M Bargains. Not a colour I would have chosen normally, but at least my washing won’t end up on the ground next washing day.

lemonGrove....That's funny! (me too!)

skunkhair63 ?????

Lucy127 Your toilet sounds wonderful!... never heard of a "smart" toilet before.. I'd be excited too!.. (what are we like!.. I blame lockdown ?)

Mr P says we can buy a new washer/dryer!

Phoenix. He still gave permission though, whatever the wording. Still, if you’re happy that’s all that matters. ?‍♀️ It’s just an alien concept to me.

I am convinced various inanimate objects have seen lockdown as an opportunity to go on permanent furlough. Hairdryer packed up almost on the same day, electric toothbrush two days later, and then my washing machine. Thank goodness for Amazon and Hughes Direct.

Hairdresser texted me an appointment for 6th July (whooppeee!) but my daughter is now cross with me as the first one she could get, same hairdresser, same salon, is 13th July!

How do you see permission being granted in the OP?

It looks like a normal conversation to me. I could buy anything I wanted without my husband’s ‘permission’, and vice versa, but we decide these things together.
