my dh is being a git again. i am veryv ery upset by the things he said to me last week. amongst other things, apparently i am a gold digger. i am sick to death of his attitude, and have decided that if he can go out and buy himself a versace jacket, then why am i busting my guts trying to spend less on food and the kids?
( last week he was in a strop because his frosties had finished and i hadnt bought any more. well, what about the effing pack of almost full rice krispies sitting in the cupboard. what am i supposed to do, chuck it because he doesnt want to eat it? and then listen to him moan about how much i spend on groceries!

anyways, trouble is now that i have made the decision to spend lots of his money, i cant find anything to spend it on.
clothes, i hate shopping for these as nothing fits and i just get depressed
makeup, well i bought a foundation, but dont actually need anything else
shoes, i am imelda marcus the second anyways, and most definitly dont need anymore. not to mention that i have recently sprained my ankele and shouldnt be onthree inch heels anyways

what else is there?????

Bras - a woman can never have too many expensive bras! Not meant to be a "bra thread" dig before I get yelled at for picking on the bra selling woman!

dvds, chocolates (for you), get your hair done,
toys, books for the kids, wine.

my hubby has jkust done the same to me. we have just moved and are skint, so am being very carefull about spending on food, so out gose hubby and buys a "subwoffer" (sp) for the pc, why? who knows.

divorce lawyer -- and then you get all his money when you want!

stitch · 11/03/2005 08:57

lol
i like the idea of a divorce lawyer. but trouble is i am such a sucker i still love him to bits!

i was also thinking along the lines of beauty treatments. trouble is organising the babysitting.
im sof fat already, that chocolates would be the icing on the cake!then id definitly never go clothes shopping.
i like the bras idea too.......hmmm

OK, if you still love him, it has to be shopping... jewellry is a good one if you don't want clothes... check out www.greenandbenz.com/ - if he can have versace you should have a couple of these babies!!

hi all, thanks for your ideas.
have spent lots of money in the allders sale. got some denby plates, and some candles. must look at the jewllery website.
trouble is i still feel awful. dont think retail therapy is working......
