While we were partaking of the celebratory dinner last night, Tom said "Next year we're not buying anything except necessities." My heart skipped a beat. He continued "We're not going to buy any TVs or electronic equipment or furniture. No clothes." "How about beer?" I said (knowing full well that he loves a fine microbrew). "No, beer's okay." Then the next question "Can I buy yarn?" "Yes, you can buy yarn" he replied, giving me a funny look. I couldn't quite tell if he was thinking that I have enough yarn already and really didn't need to buy more or if he now considers yarn necessary to my existence and was wondering why was I asking such a silly question. Maybe he thinks both. (And in the interest of full disclosure, we do not buy TVs or electronic equipment or furniture on a regular basis, so this moratorium on large purchases won't be much of a hardship.)

Happy Birthday Mr. Knitting Libran!!!
My husband and I have clamped down on our pursestrings too. We are hoping to buy a new house in the spring. Of course this means no yarn. Although right now I'm ok with that! We'll see how long that lasts.
Well, I think your husband realizes that yarn is a life necessity. Or at least it is more necessary to life then beer. Sounds like you two had fun.
Happy Birthday, Tom! Excellent answer to "the yarn question." You're a keeper, dude!
