Oi! Some of us like to keep track of our expenses, it's a good budgeting practice.
Just do it like the US govt and use code words; $435 for a hammer, $600 for a toilet seat, and $7000 for a coffee maker (1980's dollars adjusted for inflation $1315, $1814, and $21159 respectively). How else would we keep secret projects "off" the books?
Suddenly you've put this news in a whole other perspective for me:
