$5 or £5 each week, you'll get there thats how i did it.
I think I showed her it on the net and said "I'm getting it, but I dont wanna make us struggle so i'll only put aside £5 a week. i know it will take ages for me to have enough to buy it but I wanna do the right thing by us so we dont have to struggle"

Cunning as a fox

I am not the sort of person who can hide £5 a week from my wife, she is not dumb and I am not clever enough. As for letting her know I am saving £5 a week with her knowledge that would never work either as she would probably spend it when I am not looking. Cheap on eBay or wait till I have her feeling guilty for something, that is usually my way.
