    couldn't NPB them due to the 2nd chance - which really annoyed me.

    got rid of it tho :j:j freegle eventually - but even that was filled with "i'll have its" and no reply to my follow up emails.
    even got a lady on here saying she would collect it - yea really - you have no idea which buggy it fits or if it would fit yours yet you will travel to pick it up **crazy**

    ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG hubby is pushing his luck again.

    just opened a bank statement - he is now £90 overdrawn and being charged £10 a day. When confronted he simply didn't see the problem and had a go at me for opening his bank statements.

    so you know what he can have the ultimate ultimatum tonight - hand over the bank cards or get the divorce papers. I am FED UP of believing his lies.

    WHY WHY WHY should I be trying to save money everywhere I can when he couldn't give a !!!!???
    ALL our debt (not tied into a loan) is HIS doing and he is making absolutely no effort to help save money and repay it.

    While some folk on other parts of the boards might say that would be treating him like a child, I think in this case it really is the best thing to do, because he just doesn't seem to be able to handle money.

    I hope you are ok later :(

    He is behaving like a child, treat him like one, all money goes into your account and you dole him out pocket money
