To avoid these women forevermore

Urghh moved to a new development with great optimism that we might make some nice new friends.
We know lots of other people in the area anyway but i love meeting new people so was friendly with everyone when moving in.
There has quite quickly been a kind of 'wine night' set up every couple weeks.
Everyone seemed ok but quite showy about finances we as a family aren't rich and we have the smallest house type on the development but I'm happy it's ok for now while I'm a sahm. Anyway there's been a lots of posturing those initial meetings comments like when I was training I had to survive on £45k a year who can live like that?! Not outright nasty comments to me initially but quite thoughtless.
Anyway to be Social I went along again- I feel like there were a few comments about money, being a bit frosty one in particular (out of 3) seemed to needle me on a couple of things if I didn't agree with their opinions (very minor things!) but kept pulling me up on those things in front of the others - eye rolls etc.
I'm not a sensitive soul and can hold my own but good god hard work!
I just don't think they are my cup of tea but there's about to be more people moving onto the development soon though and I don't want to cut myself off completely but honestly I just don't want to be involved with these women should I avoid their ladies nights without a word now?

I don't know if I could manage another wine night to be honest I've got friends I haven't been able to sort out a night with in weeks on end so to see some people I'm not particularly keen on every fortnight seems excessive.
All we have in common is a postcode very true!

Times like this make me glad my neighbours don't speak English. Grin
