It doesn't hurt to ask...

My husband won the big $$ in his Fantasy Football league this year. It is his money to do whatever he pleases...he gets very little leeway with the regular budget. :) He has wanted an HD receiver for years and he finally gets his chance to get it. Of course, I still did not want him to pay the $200 for it, so I called and got the DirecTV gal to give it to me for half-price and free HD programming for a year. Woot! Woot! So, he has $100 extra to play around with. Thankfully for me, he wants to get me a shark to make it easier on me to mop our floors. We only have carpet in our bedrooms, so it is quite a task to keep our floors clean. I have wanted the shark for over a year, so I can't wait to get it.
