Just checked our joint account and DH has spent £75 on flowers for Mothers Day! This is for his mother and me. Usually we spend about £20-25 on flowers for our own mothers and we pay from our own individual spending money. He appears to have spent £40 this year on his mum and taken it from the family funds.
I'm currently on maternity leave and £75 is a big chunk of our monthly budget. We are now short for the next 4 weeks until he gets paid again.
There are also flowers for me, so I look like a bitch for complaining. BUT there is a flower stall near us that does really great bouquets for about £20, whereas most florists charge huge amounts for quite piddly bunches of flowers at this time of year.
What is really bothering me is that he never checks our account whereas I track every penny spent and know how much we have to spend. So he will do things like this, or pop to the shop for bread and come back with £30 worth of junk we don't need and can't afford.

To be annoyed at DH over this?
