    I'd probably make something up that costs a bomb or is impossible to copy just to see what she does herself lol

    Fabricate a story about how you're planning on cancelling your wedding and eloping to Vegas, and see what holiday she decides to book...

    Tell her you are going to change into aimie clothes or a goth and see if she follows suit, :) - At least you get a laugh then.

    I knew someone like this, as if her life wasn't complete without copying my me every move and fashion choices ( or lack of) I cut the grass, half hour later she was cutting the grass. I painted a bedroom yellow, next weekend she was painting a bedroom yellow, etc.

    I ended up flat out lying to her, said I was tiling the bathroom green/was going to get plants for garden/laura Ashley wallpaper/ anything that sounded dead expensive to me at the time. Then when she had gone and done whatever, I would say oh well you have that now and I don't want to be copying.

    Flattering as this can be, after a while it sours.

    Tell her your going to the other end of the country to a grotty caravan and see if she goes... then you'll know how much of a weirdo she is. :)

    You could have real fun with this one. See how much she swallows. Id be inclined to mention really expensive things your doing or getting. even if there not true.
