Yes i too would ask,why she wants to know?,also,if she wants to treat me by paying for them?,also why,is she after ALLmy old stuff whenever i buy anything new?and why she keeps asking EVERYTIME we speak??what is wrong with the nosey woman??Id also be tempted to actually say outright that its not the done thing to do so-and thats its downright rude!If that didnt make her think twice before asking you next time,id just say no everytime she asked till she got fed up of bothering.If she asks at a family gathering,loudly ask her why she keeps being so nosy over what you& your hubby are spending your money on,within his earshot-and everone elses,it may shame her into stopping the awful habit of it!
