Today I'm livid with DH. Our DD has started walking in the last few days (hurrah, must post that on Proud thread somewhere), and she now needs shoes appropriate for outdoors. I told DH this a few days ago and he said that we'd have to wait until payday as this month has been an unually expensive one (we bought DS1 & 2 new bikes etc). Fair enough, pay day is only 2 weeks away, the shoes can wait.

We were supposed to be taking the kids to see my Mum in Wales this weekend but have had to postpone until next week, due to my hip (see other thread). So DH took the boys to Blockbuster to rent a PS2 game and a DVD each. Fine. DH and the boys return home, DS1 has a brand new copy of the game he wanted to rent. I ask him why it isn't in a BB sleeve and he says that they didn't have it to rent in BB, so DH bought a brand new copy at a cost of £39.99 !!!! Am f*** off that he paid £40 for a sodding GAME without thinking about it when he had refused our daughter her first pair of shoes (which incidentally wouldn't have cost anywhere near £40) ! Am so angry. Really don't want to argue about it but am too cross to pretend everything is fine.

Thanks for listening ! Rant over.

Actually, the Clarks fitters in Worcester seemed really nice when I went in there recently. Much nicer than the dopey lot I always seemed to get in Croydon...

WSM, told Dp this and he raised his eyebrows in a kind of "omg, I'd be in BIG trouble and wouldn't dream of doing that" kind of way and then said "I bet it was Pro Evolution soccer 3 though wasn't it?" So was it? Dying to know now!

WSM, what did you do to your hip?? God I'm sooo nosey. Okay tell me to mind my own business if you want

WSM - like the others I would be seriously miffed with him.

Have you got a John Lewis's near you? - their children's shoe section is good and JL staff are usually very professional. As Georgina says, the cruiser shoes are good, sell at about £18, and in fact are preferable to traditional hard soled shoes when they first start walking ...

OMG, your DP was spot on www !! Do I assume that your man is hankering after it too then ?

Thanks Georgina will get off my backside and drag myself into town as soon as I am able. Got my x-ray today

Ha Ha WSM! Well he bought it on Friday when it came out BUT he swapped a load of other old games so it didn't cost us anything. Which is why I was OK with it - he wouldn't have got much cash for them but he was able to swap and get the game he really wanted. God, they're all such boys aren't they?

It's pathetic.
