Thanks guys!
Just to clarify though I don't think that DH is behaving unreasonably as such and of course I'm happy to have such a caring daddy for my kids and a lovely DH for me:D It's just that I spend HOURS trying to shave cash off the weekly shop,you know the routine~meal planning,buying value this that and the other.So I feel chuffed that I got the bill down to say £60 and saved £15 then DH comes in with a £8 bottle of wine and a £5 bunch of flowers:rolleyes: I see a top I'd like but can't bring myself to spend a tenner on it then DH rolls in saying what a lovely KFC he had for lunch despite there being plenty of bread/ham/cheese/crisps/drinks etc etc in the fridge at home.And to point out that yes I am a SAHM but with 3 kids under the age of 4 at home all day,me doing all the cleaning,shopping,cooking,washing etc etc I think it's reasonable to ask DH to make a bloomin sandwich for himself before bed!:p
And there's no "might" about the finances we'll be facing in a month or so.We are losing nearly £600 a month and things will def be tight so I just thought it'd be better to get into good spending habits now whilst we can afford the odd slip up rather than waiting till we HAD to iynwim?
I know I could have worse things to worry about but I just want to get everything sorted now so we are ready to face the drop in income.:beer:

Have you told him all this?
Have you got time to make him his lunch?
Yes you are a SAHM but they are his kids aren't they? so don't let anybody bully you into thinking you are not worth buying yourself a new top. My mum was a SAHM, they were 3 of us, she worked damn hard and in the evening if she could sit in front of the tv, she would still be knitting or mending some piece of clothing.
