I lied- it wasn't $80 DH

We are broke. I mean broke!

I am on maternity leave at half pay and I am also the breadwinner so we are seriously broke. My some stroke of luck (or maybe bad luck in disguise) my bank offered us a $2000 credit card. I have managed to not spend any....until today...

You see my DD is being baptised on Sunday and everyone in the family are coming. I am a fat hippo and well I havnt bought myself ANYTHING for a long time and well...I saw this dress...and it is made for fatties like me....and it is gorgeous....and well....I tried it on...and I'm LOVING IT!!! So......

I bought it...for $180!!!! :shhh:

I lied to DH and told him it was $80 :o

I feel bad, but I feel good. DH told me he hasn't seen me look soo good in awhile. I just feel alittle guilty lying to DH and I feel I have let my daughters down by feeling good and not buying them anything :(



Anyway- feed time....thanks for reading xx

If it makes you feel good then allow yourself to feel good! Now go and freeze the cc and don't do it again ;)

I won't tell him if you don't

Mummas deserve to feel good sometimes... Dont feel bad, Im sure most women have told their hubbys the same lie somewhere along the line ;)

Ahhh, as long as it is only a one off, enjoy being dolled up for the day & enjoy your DD baptism.

been there, done that.
enjoy the dress.

Sneaky congratulations!!
:shhh:

Thanks guys.

I went into the bedroom before and put the dress on and did alittle pose in the mirror...LOL...stuff it- I can work my big butt off next month when I go back to work to make up for it and hey- there are bigger and worser lies I could tell DH... :rofl:

My mum has always said when telling your husband how much something costs you halve it and then minus 10%.

Enjoy your dress ;)

Yep been ther done that,
Enjoy your dress I'm sure you look amazing :)

Well that more or less works out to cost price doesn't it? Delph - you deserve it, this will be a pic that will be in your family for generations - you deserve to look and feel amazing!

You deserve it! A christening is a big deal, and yes you will have photos taken of you, so it's essential IMO that mum gets a new dress!

Hope you have a great day :)

Yep agree agree agree with the others, you work hard you deserve something special every now and then. A christening is a big deal and so I think its only fair that you look your best for it.

If it makes you feel better I am about to spend $250 roughly on a new baby carrier and I told DH that it will only cost $150 :D

Agree with others 100%. Besides hun, it's not ALWAYS about the babies/kids, sometimes mum HAS to be a little spoiled too!! Mums work very hard and they deserve something nice every now and then. I found that when my DS arrived it all become about him. I remember months and months going by without having bought anything for myself. I mean nothing :( DF ended up sending me to the shops telling me to buy something, anything! Good on you hun, you really deserve to feel special cos you are :)

I think that's a passable omission - I mean you just left out 1 little thing ;) I hope you feel beautiful wearing the dress, you deserve to.
