would you let on that you know?

[PinkFizz]

What would you do if you were bought a beautiful ring as a present,looks and feels very expensive,everybody admires it and you are sooooo proud of it - then you find the receipt in a drawer and find out.........its fake costume jewellery and cost ......�12 !!!! Would you let on that you knew to your partner that bought it??

[atolhurst]

Is your partner making out that it was an expensive purchase?

[redcrx]

did he make out it was expensive? or did you just assume, as others have, that its preicey because of how it feels and looks?

If hes trying to make out hes spent hundreds on it and reap the rewards then leave the receipt out on side so that he knows youve seen it.

If it was just a token surprise gift and you like it then why upset things?

[spk]

I would be a bit gutted but its the thought that counts and if you love it, doesnt matter how much it cost really does it? I probably would bring it up otherwise it will just annoy you x

[PinkFizz]

its not my partner.My friend and her hubby always spend roughly the same amount each xmas on each other.She did the same on the xmas just gone and after opening the ring assumed he has done exactly the same as the ring looked about the value that they always spend.She was so chuffed with it that she kept telling him he shouldt have spent so much and he said she was worth it.The she has just found the receipt and is gobsmacked.

Well hun, if he's making out it cost a fortune then say something but if it was just meant as a little suprise gift then I think making a fuss about it might be a little harsh... it depends.

[4getmenot]

Wouldnt bother me. Its the thought not the cost that counts. I have never wanted to know how much things cost and am always grateful for whatever I get. But I would be a bit miffed as to why someone would keep a receipt for a �12.00 item :-)

[redcrx]

ah well in her situation id embarass him into owning up. Is she sure its a receipt for her ring? If so then she should have a quiet word with him

[China Doll]

Ah... in that case....

Tell her to take his credit card out of his wallet when he gets home, leave the reciet on the table tomorrow so it's there when he gets back with a note to say that she's booked herself in to a luxary spa for three days...

[crete]

if you like the ring it should not matter what it cost nothing wrong with costume jewelry

[electricblue]

If i really liked the ring then TO HELL with how much it cost,if i like something i will get it regardless of how much!!

[fms]

i wuoldnt it the thought that counts any way

[PinkFizz]

I agree that it doesnt matter what it cost - but I think whats bothering her is that they are pretty well off,and so why on earth did he buy something that cost only �12?
And yes the reciept is def for that ring.And I think she is embarrased that all her friends were commenting on it in front of him and he stood there beaming as they said how lucky she was!

[China Doll]

To be honest Pink... if she's not going to get revenge in her own little way (I would actually do what I suggested) then she really just needs to be straight and ask him what's going off.

[crete]

she would have been more embaressed in front of her friend if he had said it only cost 12 pounds, all sounds a bit shallow to me sorry

[PinkFizz]

strange isnt it! Good idea though China.If it was me and he had said "look It wasnt very expensive but I thought you would really like it as its so pretty" then I would have been thrilled,but to not actually lie,but give the impression it was costly....she feels a bit of a wally.

[4getmenot]

tell her she should be grateful for anything she gets. She doesnt have to go telling her mates it is �12.00 so why worry. I can honestly say I dont know how much any of the jewellery was that I am wearing at this moment and I wouldnt care if they were from a charity shop.

[China Doll]

Take his credit card, buy herself something pretty, then confront him... she'll feel lots better. It's most likely all a big misunderstanding anyway...

[fms]

wsorry pink diddnt read it properly wtf if i was her id jus never wear it and when he asks jus say it dont fit proper hes hardly likely to argue !!

[spk]

I agree Pinkfizz its the lying part thats bad
