I'm in deep trouble....

Get to the bedroom before she does. Lol j/k.

1) tell her right away
2) tell her it is NOT costing her anything
3) tell her howmuch it cost
4) tell her what you planned on giving up to afford that cost, and for how long.
5) ask her if there is anything she really wants to buy that you can help her budget/splurge for


This has worked in the past for me, but I usually set this up upfront. This is what I want and this is what I am willing to go without to get it, etc.
Budgets can actually HELP give one an escuse to buy fabric/kilts!

tell her you love her but you bought a kilt- then run!!!

So, I guess buying a lawnmower for her is out of the question.

Note to myself, buy something she wants....

Good tip. Now to go shopping again to get it right.

[RCallan]

Just wear the kilt and nothing else.

If that doesn't work.....run....very very fast.

Hey I came back with a $750 leather kilt after I was told 'no more kilts' luckily it was just before my birthday, unfortunatly it became the gift from the missus and I ate the cost . Now she turns a blind eye to new kilts.

Open it, Put it on, Go to her and say "Surprise, I thought of you when I ordered this." Then take her to dinner to celebrate the new kilt.

Girl friend is following this thread also and said this one just might work.

One of my faves is the "...I had to act fast here! They've stopped making these...if I didn't order it right then and there, I would never have been able to get my hands on one. Why...it's a collector's item now...".
