I am dying to hit kohls but my youngest dd has pneumonia and I just got called to go get ds from school because he's vomiting so I am not going shopping anytime soon.

By Brandy on Tuesday, February 3, 2004 - 01:12 pm:

Colette sounds like you have my usual luck.I'm sorry to hear about your dd and ds take good care of them ...

By Colette on Tuesday, February 3, 2004 - 01:32 pm:

whoo hoo! My mil offered to babysit sick kids for a couple of hours, so despite the remnants of an ice storm all over the place, I am going shopping! Yeah! (can you tell I need to get out of the house?)

I hit Kohls while in Pittsburgh last week. We don't have them here. I too brought home a ton of stuff for next to nothing. At 80% off Clearance...how can you go wrong?

By Brandy on Saturday, February 7, 2004 - 10:21 am:

Awesome Colette and Bea yes it was very exciting to bring home much needed pants for the boys for pretty cheap and some stuff for me too = )

By Colette on Saturday, February 7, 2004 - 12:24 pm:

Well, I didnt make out as well as expected. But I bought myself an outfit and 2 shirts and a pair for jeans for dd so I am happy.

and now I am in a much happier frame of mind.

my DH won't give me money to go shopping I should talk him into an allowance.

By Bea on Saturday, February 7, 2004 - 03:51 pm:

One thing my Mother told me before I married, and it has turned out to be great advice...."Have your own money!!!! If you aren't working, get an allowance...even if it's $5.00 a week. That's yours, and you don't have to answer to anyone how you spend it." Long ago, women raised chickens, and sold a few eggs for their EGG MONEY. Women today don't have that option. Tell him you want an allowance.

By Colette on Saturday, February 7, 2004 - 04:24 pm:

When we started budgeting, we included personal cash. Dh and I get the same amount per month, that way he doesn't complain about what I spend money on and I don't complain about what he spends his money on.

By Brandy on Saturday, February 7, 2004 - 05:21 pm:

Good idea Colette.The only reason i really had that much to shop with was because it was tax money any other way i wouldn't of had it.

By Colette on Saturday, February 7, 2004 - 05:50 pm:

but this shopping spree came from the "clothing budget" because it wouldn't be very fair if my personal cash was going to buy the kid's clothes and dh's was going for lift tickets.
