I took ds out for meal in pub (it was a treat. I said we would stick to 2 meals for £6 and he started moaning (pre teen!) saying he doesnt like the meals on offer etc etc
But it made a difference of about £4 to overall cost, which I know isnt much money, but every penny counts.
I get fed up with budgeting all the time-and just wish i didnt have to. its hard enough raising kids without having to watch every penny.
i got a real bargan from a charity shop (labels but looked new) which he loved. But when I mentioned it was a charity shop he didnt like it then!
im just worried as the financial pressure will only get worse
its not fair!!
i do work-but get no maintance and have to pay a huge amount toward my rent. after i pay travel costs-kids travel costs too etc etc
