Subject : Being secretive! HOW?

Hi this may not sound like a big dilema and maybe it isn't but! How can I purchase things off the net without h2b knowing? As he has the paypal account he can see what site i have been on... All i want is to buy him little surprise gifts for wedding morning and get myslef a Mrs.... t-shirt but obviously not wanting him too know. If any brides have ways n means plz let me know. Thanks x x Confused

Can you not set up your own Paypal account, or pay for things on your own card?

I know what you mean about being secretive - I'm squirrling away money each month to pay for my present for h2b, he hasn't noticed so far!

thought of paypal acc but i am no expert on the p.c plus h2b is,that's his job.. he can look at history seen what been looked at if that make sense oh dear may have to get my sis to do the buying then pay her back, that how i got his fav football team to sign a card x but wish i could do it all myslef instead of relying on sis oh well!!

I still use h2b's paypal on ebay as there is no point setting my own up.. he always asks if there are messages on can he have a look or is it wedding related? Happy If it is not on ebay I use my own card and tend to get things delivered to work, but unfortunately I have to use his ebay account.. he is sweet and does not look if I ask him not to..

Setting up your own account might be an option though..

Just go to the paypal site, click on register then follow the instructions, I think it's fairly easy!

You don't have to delete all the history, you can just select the bits you want to delete.

what's the big deal about clearing the web history?

it's good for the computer to get rid of the junk that's not being used, and if he asks, tell him that it's because you anted to buy a surprise for him - doesn't mean he has to know what it is.

oh, and def set up your own paypal

y would he look at your history? My h2b doesnt check mine as i just tell him there are some wedding things which i have to order and thats its unlucky for him to see and he just says ok and leaves me to it - i have had 2 use his paypal account for a few things (tried setting up my own but it didnt work) and he didnt check at least he said he didnt but it was only bm gifts i did that with just in case - we have a joint account and so share a credit card and cheque book so its not easy lol but as long as the name on the statement isnt a total give away again i just say it was a wedding thing i ordered and he doesnt bother investigating that any further either lol!
