"oh just the usual" will leave her guessing wink
if she pushes for more "well some bits and bobs, the odd treat y'know" grin
and so on

Don't even talk about sisters-in-law! Just said goodbye to mine and it is a huge relief. Apparently she is also dropping in tomorrow on her way home - maybe I could be out???

Exactly right BlueBelle what a cheek the woman has.

Why on earth tell her if you know her ability to ask more critical questions. Next time she says ‘ have you bought anything lately ‘ you answer ‘ no what about you? ‘

Cheeky mare. Anyone would think she would be a beneficiary!

I rang my sister in law this morning to ask about a relative who had been unwell. Whilst speaking she asked if I had spent any money recently (a question she asks every time we speak). I told her I had bought some new bedside lamps. She asked how much they cost and did I really need them!!

This isn't the first time she has made this comment when I have bought something. I could understand if I was the type to throw money around but I always think long and hard before I buy anything and do a lot of investigating to ensure I am getting value for money. She is making me feel as if I should check with her before I spend anything!

I don't want to make a big thing of this as we generally get on very well, but I do feel uncomfortable with her questioning whatever I spend my money on.
