Glad you had a lovely break Michelle and glad to see you back
It does you good to recharge your batteries without the children about.
Even if the In-laws have been good enough to have your boys whilst you were away, I too would be annoyed about them throwing some breadcrumbs and metal away. What a cheek ! It would wind me up for days that would! (but maybe that's just me)

Glad you have your house back to yourselves now!

No-one will ever be good enough for their son, but I bet they would sooner have you as you are than a spendthrift who has run tens of thousands of pounds worth of debt. Secretly they will be proud of your thriftynessA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Hi cha
Poor you with the inlaws, do they know how much your hubby earns and how fantastic you are to stretch things, not only to pay the basics but to over pay?? It would be so much if it were your parents. I remeber when we were planning our wedding, both the mothers got carried away, however I told my mum to butt out (but alot more politely you inderstand;)) whereas I did not feel it was my place to tell the MIL.

'We really liked it, and tried our absolute best to get best value for money by eating our own body weight at the breakfast buffet'
Ha on the rare occasions I stay in a hotel I do that too - suspect lots of folk do. I try to be suruptitious [sp] and put croissants and bananas in my bag for later too :rotfl::rotfl:0 -
