    I suppose the pain from the oil would subside quicker so I go for the oil too:D

    I have often thought about sprinkling some olbas oil in OH's pants when he has ticked me off............maybe thats just a little bit too cruel:cool:

    Thanks Lou.

    Me and DH are OK, we can get by. It's the kids that worry me.

    They dont have the things their mates have. Neither of them have ever had a birthday party. DS always asks how much something is, before he asks for it for birthday/Christmas. DD isnt too bad, she get LOADS of clothes from a friend who has 3 older girls, but DS doesnt have much. DH and I make do with the clothes from years ago, but DS wont stop blimmin growing :rolleyes:

    He's going on holiday from school soon, it's almost killed us to pay for it, but he's going. It's an activity holiday, so luckily he doesnt need any decent clothes, but he'll still need stuff.

    I know how Lenny feels. Most days I can just deal with it, but some days it all gets a bit too much :o

    I know Hun xx that why its good to come on here and have a good old rant. To be honest our boys have always been fine with our money situation, they accept that buying things has a consiquence and are more than willing to sell some of their things to get something they want.

    Little DS sold his Nintendo Wii to buy Rockband for his Xbox. I was so pround of him I shared the story with someone from work and was told that I was a Mean Mum!!!!:mad:

    Kids need love and encouragement, not loads of stuff.

    Def not you. :D
    'Boss' has just rang to say she and hubby are going away for half term. They are stressed and need a break. (Spent Oct half term in Florida). Leaves me in charge.
    Def candiate for the poker. :mad:
    But maybe I'm just unreasonable and jealous.:o
