It's usually about the price of something to my husband who is very careful with money, so whatever I buy I always shave a little bit off the price and he is happy.

I told a white lie when I was a child I ate my sisters sweets and blamed the dog

Definitely lots of white lies to my nephews and nieces, like why I'm 37, not married and don't have any kids yet.

My sister sends me a book every Christmas and birthday, sometimes I have already read it, I always say it looks like a good book and then leave it a few weeks and tell her how much I enjoyed it.

My niece asked me to watch her 3 baby goldfish at my place over a weekend and then of course disaster struck! I found them floating and...panic stricken I fled to the garden centre to purchase another 3 fish. When she returned she asked if I had overfed them because they seemed plumper. Yes of course I lied.

When people have cooked me something horrible I say its lovely because I don't want to upset them or be ungrateful

When i forgot to collect my Daughters first tooth, from under her pillow. Morning tears, so i told her the tooth fairy, rang while she was asleep.And she was sorry, she was not well,and saw the Pixie Doctor,who told her to rest,and she would collect the priceless tooth tonight.Which she did.

As a child telling my mum i'd swallowed the codliver oil she'd give me every day when in fact i'd spat it out

Gee! How can I choose just the one. I guess the worst is when my best friend asks how she looks in something and I say "Great, suits you" when I mean "It is a nice outfit but not on you!" She would not take it well I think.

We all tell white lies every day, even me, I have autism and tend to say it as it is, but it's a necessary evil to keep the peace. Ricky Gervais's 'The Invention of Lying' explains it beautifully!

My mother was a very difficult person. For example she used to take my things and give them away to other people when I was a child. As she grew older she became vindictive and would not stop ranting and nagging about something all day.

My daughter and I had driven a long way to visit her. She was not there when we arrived. We sat down and I tried to turn on the radio. It would not work. I tried just a little to tune it and gave up. Mother returned. She decided to put the radio on. It would not work. She turned on me accusingly, her eyes piercing, "Have you touched it?" she demanded. "No." I said.
I still feel terrible. But had I said yes, and that it did not work when I used it either, she would have spent all day saying I had broken it, that I had done it deliberately, that now she had nothing to listen to, and that I had better go and buy her a new one straight away. She had plenty of money, I did not. I just could not bear a day like that.

Told my husband my very expensive dress was a bargain in the sales, don't really know why as my salary was more than adequate to afford it, shame probably at such extravagance.

Loads as a child, but now I feel it is always best to be truthful.

do not ,I just do not say anything

I won a console and pass it as a Christmas gift. But it came to bite me back as they had some already and I think).

I told the wife that the dog had broke her cherished family vase when it was me kicking a ball about the house.

I always say I love a birthday/christmas present - even if I don't. It would be so rude to do otherwise.

Getting my children to eat "hidden veg" when they were small , "no honestly there's no mushrooms,onions ,peppers.....in the Bolognese sauce"....

Got to be santa, Easter bunny, tooth fairy list goes on lol

Told friends that I couldn't meet up with them because I had to do a favour for a relative. But the only favour I did was going out on a date.

The last time I told a white lie was this evening when my husband asked how I was and I said fine. Actually I was exhausted but is there any point worrying him?

When my husband asks me if his hair is thinning ....

If my husband cooks it is always delicious even when it is not, don’t want to put him off!

When i told my husband it my new coat was half price!

Only when it was of benefit to someone else.
