There's other sources of money: passbook savings accounts, that kind  
of thing.

But in reality, as a bare minimum I'd need her to book the time off  
work in advance and slot in amongst the things the kids do.   I'm not  
sure if I admire or pity people whose lives are sufficiently  
straightforward that they can do that sort of thing without advance  
booking, but for us there's a Dodopad (http://www.dodopad.com/) by the  
phone that contains THE TRUTH, and if you're not written into that  
your event isn't happening.

Better example might be, say, to buy a surprise piece of jewellery.   
I've done that a few times: the credit card bill doesn't arrive before  
the gift.
