Just that really, we are a bit skint and it’s something that would never have been on my radar and would have been so happy and shocked to wake up to on Christmas morning and not only have I ruined the surprise for myself but am going to have to tell him that I have seen it as have opened the packaging...

Genuinely wondering if I can blame it on the dog!! Blush

@Blacksheepcat

Obviously I didn’t know this before I read this thread but now now I do...a good 20 times over!! 🙄

It isn’t a one off time I have used it, I have done a lot of my Christmas shopping on there and parcels have being arriving daily!

And not that I have to justify myself but he had has 0 problem with me opening up the parcels, or anything else for that matter! He is forces and often away and rely’s on me dealing dealing with any admin that come in!

Erase it from your memory!

Just pretend that you didn't see it. Act pleased on Xmas day. I have done that loads of times! How lovely that he has got you something you want. Job done!

Bloody hell op you're getting a proper beating for sharing an account.

Guess what readers I share an account with my dp and.. I have my own that doesn't really get used. Do you all pay twice for prime?

It's good he's chosen something nice but he's not that thoughtful if he didn't work out how to avoid you seeing it. I'd be annoyed!

RubbishRobotFromTheDawnOfTime · 11/12/2019 14:06

So what to sharing an account? We have one each but we just use whoever is logged on. Unless it's a present, where I'd make an effort to keep it secret (ahem, OP's DH)

Don't get this. Only pay for Prime once but both have an account on there tied to our different email addresses. I can't see his account and he can't see mine.
The only drawback is notifications on Alexa

You may have pee'd off his mistress! I bet she doesn't snoop! :P

Get free courier bags from the Post Office (online). Turn them inside out and put present in and Hey Presto.

as I have been happily lazing all day, catching up on all the MN posts I haven't had time to read till now Xmas Smile please, please can you tell us if you got your lovely surprise @3littlemincemeatpies ....really hoping not a Joni Mitchell type one.....

@CreakingatTheWhinges

Hahaha, I can confirm I received a beautiful diamond ring and not a Joni Mitchell CD!!...

I got away with the opened package, didn’t mention anything and presumably he thought either the dog or girls had got to it first!!
