We're looking to get a playhouse for the children and I found this - he won't let me get it . It's very good value I think!

Cor men eh! Tell him to get out and get a evening job and night job to earn the money for it. Sleep is for the weak. He Should be there to provide all the essentials for his kids (isnt that what men are for???)and this is obviously essential.

Yep looks bigger than our house too!!!

RLYL - I could just get it anyway. I think it's terrible wanting to deprive my precious children of something they clearly need.

Budababe, you're right. Any man who can be so unreasonably tight isn't worth it.

Budababe · 04/05/2007 10:21
