    Thanks for the advice. I actually don't text much, its usually in person. People always asking if I can work for their weekend or if I can stay late...I think I will tell them I don't have a babysitter or my husband is working late. One good thing, I have a new boss who doesn't know me yet so she has no idea Im a pushover, so I can start new.

    I have a few friends who are always pushing me to buy products they are selling (Mary Kay, Girl Scouts etc0 but I really don't have the money. Its embarrassing to say Im broke so maybe I will just say a vague "Sorry I cant" and leave it at that.

      A husband and a child are an excuse to be utilized! ;)

      You can always say something like "I really don't need any at the moment" or "thanks, but I just bought a bunch of make-up/cookies last week" if they are still being persistent. My go to is always "no thanks" or "I think I'll pass." It feels more natural the more you use it and people will start to get the hint.
