Do you lie to your other half about the price when you buy stuff?

I should have lied about my 2405. She didn't mind until I told her the price of the thing. Oh well, nothing a good slap won't take care of.

If your GF can't tell your lying after 7 years then I'm stunned. They always know when you lie. It's easier to be a man and say it cost double what it did, to prove your hard of course.

My g/f has absolutely NO idea how much a guitar would cost, though.. much the same as I know she buys herds of clothes but doesn't find the need to tell me, her pile of jeans grows weekly but I don't care as it's her money. I almost never buy clothes and don't buy jewellery like she does but that's my choice :)
 
My wife has absolutly no idea of the value of computer stuff. I tend to get most stuff when shes at her mums.

She never noticed the new CPU, she thibks my fatal1ty cost £35 :D
 
I'd never lie about how much anything cost, just not worth the effort really. My money is mine to spend how I choose.

Although saying that im not the kinda guy who can tollerate whinging anyway. If someone started moaning about things like that they'd be out the door :p Maybe thats why im currently single, again :rolleyes:


Mick.
 
I used to lie all the time to my parents about how much i spent on clothes, etc. But over the years my parents have sort of worked it out and now my dad asks, i tell him, he chuckles, he doubles it and we move on :cool:

What I spend my money on is my business although my parents still look out for me and would rather I didn't waste what little I earn lol.
 
Nope, I tell her the truth, she gets mad at me, slaps me, then says I spend my money on unimportaint stuff. What does she know anyway :p
 
Only problem with fibbing about the cost of computer bits is sooner or later she'll ask you to build her a killer rig for £200 and you're screwed.
 
If I tell the truth I’m a dead man, but if I lie there’s a small chance I might get away with it…



..But I never do.

The trick is whenever you buy a new PC part you buy her a one too. :D

/looks at new PC case that was a gift for "no reason" :p
 
"it was on this week only... it was about £50 off... i had to"
if only we were truely that lucky...

oh and...

"i'm only using it for a week to test it out, then i'm sending it back"

"i had a discount for being a loyal customer..."

:p

I seem to have a "the bigger the box" thing going on here.

My wifes generlly not interested in what I buy, but a big box that may contain something worth only a few quid always prompts more attention than a small box containing say a CPU worth a few hundred :)

Silence can never be misquoted.
The trick is to keep the old tatty case. No questions - no answers!

She went shopping in harrods (usual tourist tat with Harrods on the tin) and the agreement is that I went shopping in Bond Street.. she didn't seem to bat an eyelid as we browsed the Patek Phillipe :D I love'em but I'll get the car first!
