Would you lie and keep something even if you feel guilty?

Why lie?
Just go together, and make sure the stuff that you have already got isn't on the list. If he asks, tell him you picked some bits up a while back as they were half price. ie the truth
Then just carry on with your life.0 -
I would just tell him the truth...surely he would be happy that you managed to get some of the things cheaper in the sales? then all the rest you can buy together.:love: Getting married 23/09/09

TBH, uniform shopping is vile! Start him off with what is on the list. By the time you get to the next things he probably won't even know she needs it. If he still wants to carry on shopping and you don't feel you can tell him you've already got it then just buy it all and return stuff (keep the receipts).

OP it is a special time when your child first goes to school, as are all the first things your child does. I realise in the grand scheme of things to others it may not seem that important but to your family it is (it will be for mine too) and good for you!
It is a shame your DH text you after you had brought it, and if it were me I'd be feeling much the same as you ( i feel guilty over the smallest things sometimes and not because I'm scared of my DH but because i hate to upset anyone even if it wasn't my fault!). I would be open and tell him what happened but emphasise how pleased you are that he want's to be involved. Make a list beforehand of other things that are still needed and ask him if he'd like to do those things together.
PS best wishes for you little one (even if not so little anymore) on their first day at school, make sure you have some tissues ready!!!0 -
why not txt him and say you were up town and saw half price things that you are chuffed about but there is heaps yet to buy...You may walk and you may run
You leave your footprints all around the sun
And every time the storm and the soul wars come
You just keep on walking0 -

Couldn't agree more.. My wife and I tend to shop together, but if one or the other sees something and its needed/appears to be a good buy then we'd happily buy it, even when we weren't with each other.0
