Ralph Lauren might get me spanked

Ok not directly, but my title isn't as tenuous as it might seem. You see my husband has a sweater with the famous emblem on it (he doesn't usually like emblems on things but this is small), nothing special but it's a conservative grey which he likes and he wears it over a proper shirt sometimes on a cold day, he says its comfortable but still smart. Anyway he spilled what looks like coffee on it, presumably last winter because he hasn't worn it recently, and hadn't told me about it but he did fish it out a couple of days ago and asked me if I could drop it into the cleaners next time I went.

I checked the label and it was washable so I washed it instead, a woollens wash, and put it outside to dry while the weather was good. Unfortunately I didn't quite follow the label guide of laying flat to dry which takes ages, I just treated it as normal, (like many other jumpers I've washed over time) but it's gone a bit funny, maybe it didn't like spinning, it looks like it's shrunk a bit and it isn't as soft as it was. Ok it was my fault, I accept that, and if I'd taken it to the cleaners and same had happened then it would have been their fault and compensation would have been in order, but I didn't follow instructions....my husband's or the label's.

I have choices, I can own up right away, apologise and say I'll buy him a new one or I can say the cleaners ruined it and I'm making a claim against them which they've already accepted, which would be a lie and might get found out. And why tell a lie anyway, it's my husband for gods sake, he knows accidents happen and he'll understand that I thought I was doing what was best. But there's an opportunity here, depending how I deliver the bad news, to get spanked:) and not an entirely playful one if I show at least some level of deceit or couldn't care attitude (which actually wouldn't be true). I've put it in his wardrobe amongst other stuff, saying nothing for now, maybe he'll put it on and think it's ok but I doubt it, I suppose a bit of deceit is already evident, I'm just buying time though really, whether to mention it or wait till he comes to wear it, It'll come to me, I'll probably try for the spanking option depending on circumstances at the time.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by for LOL days, especially my lurkers who left comments and course a big thank you to Hermione. 





Have a good week.
