Money Moral Dilemma: Should I buy my boyfriend a new jumper?

This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks...
My boyfriend bought a new lambswool jumper recently and I thought I'd wash it for him. But I did it on too high a heat, causing it to shrink considerably. While he could do with losing weight, he'll never fit into it - should I buy a new one?

I'm starting to think that the people contacting MSE with these 'dilemmas' may need more help getting through their lives than can be provided on a forum.0

Or maybe no one is contacting them so The Team are coming up with them themselves.. in which case a little more imagination may be required!
Maybe they should start a thread titled 'what stupid questions should we pose to the forum?'
In response to the question.. I'd speak to him about it.. it might be a jumper he loathes and is glad to see the back off! Wool jumpers are the itchiest things in the world..

All in all though, the shrunk jumper would fit his action man :rotfl:This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Yes, I'd go out and get another jumper. I'd also apologise for shrinking the jumper.0
