    silly silly silly me just left my mobile phone outside on the deck chair and one little puppy just mangled it! :duh

    Now the dilemma is I either keep the existing phone and eventually DH will notice how beat up it is and I will have to tell him what happened. Or I buy a new one and eventually DH may notice its different and then I can either deny that it's different or say "oh that old thing"

    which option should I go?

    oh 3rd option is to buy the exact same phone but why would I do that when I could get a better one :giggle

    DH notices the slightest little mark on anything so he will definitely notice the puppy damage. So I'm thinking a new phone too, he's less likely to notice that :giggle

    buy a new one. sometimes these things just happen, and eventually he'll get used to the idea. there's no sense in trying to manage life without a tool you use daily. just fess up right at the beginning, tell dh what you HAD to do :giggle and let it go. then there's no sense of keeping the truth from him, and he doesn't feel deceived when he eventually DOES find out. that's what i would do.

    I say buy a new one and only when he asks just tell him all the wonderful things you do for your family; like wash the clothes, do the dishes, vacuum, make the beds, dust....

    Gee, that's alot you do for the family and you deserve it! :)

    (Now, how do I convince DH that I need a new phone since I don't have a dog to blame it on?!?!?!) LOL

    Tell him that PUPPY wanted you to have a new phone as evidenced by the old phone. That's why you had to do it. You can't hurt puppy's feelings. HaHa! This is the kind of tounge in cheek thing my husband would try to use on me. :)

    well I couldn't have asked for a better result . . . I went into buy a new phone and the sales assistant said to me that if I changed my account to a slightly different account (same cost as current account but more benefits) that I would get a phone for free, so I got a free phone! Yay! He did warn me not to let the puppy chew this one though as I can't upgrade again for free.

    so now I can say to hubby that I got a new phone because I upgraded my account and technically I'm not telling fibs, I'm merely leaving out the bit about the old phone :giggle

    Glad that worked out easily for you Kaye :) Our lab ate my old blackberry....I only kept it to let the kids play with it, I'm still baffled that she would want to eat a metal phone????? Puppies are crazy.
