DH and I have just had our 3rd DC and DH has a DD from a previous relationship. We are trying really hard to save at the moment and pay as much off our mortgage as possible in order to hopefully be able to move to a bigger house in 2 or 3 years. Consequently we have been seriously 'cutting our cloth' accordingly.
MIL asked for a £30 pot of face cream for Mother's Day. DH explained that we wouldn't be able to afford to spend that much. I saw her today and she gave me a list of three kinds of bathroom scales (with the Argos catalogue numbers written next to them) she would like instead for Mother's Day, all of which cost £25.
God I'm fucked off.
