We're a bit skint atm. I'm training to be a childminder do have had to fork out quite a bit of money for training this month, as well as having ds's swimming lessons and breakfast club to pay for. We both get payed next Wednesday, so have to make our money last until then. We also had a couple of big events this month (we're a lot busier than usual), I had a hen do, dp had a stag do, we have a party at the races and dp has the leaving concert of a much-loved teacher at our old school.
In order to save us a bit of money, I said I'd miss some of the things at the hen (an afternoon tea, clubbing and staying with friends in London) and not go to the party at the races. I wasn't too bothered about the latter as it's the party of one of dp's friends (who tbh, I'm not all that keen on), but was really disappointed about the hen do as she's a really good friend of mine. When I told dp I wasn't going to them to save a bit if money, I kind of expected him to give something up too, and I was a bit disappointed when he didn't. Last week I mentioned perhaps not going to the party at the races (they're rubbish friends who don't make the effort to see him, they basically dumped him when we moved half an hour away) but he'd already paid for the ticket, ok fair enough.
Tonight is the leaving concert for the teacher, WIBU to ask him not to go? It's an hour away and the petrol money seems like such a waste! I'm usually really keen for dp to go out, I love seeing him with his mates, but it seems a little excessive to go to everything. I feel horrible for suggesting it, but we really can't afford it.
Aibu?
