Voted F, which isn't accurate but nearest to it.

I'd say we had a leg each

H for me. I'm alone!

D is it for us, but I'm not altogether happy about it - I really need to get DH to at least understand the basics of what is where in case anything ever happens to me. He wouldn't even have a clue where to start at the mo.

But it does satisfy my control-freak urges

I look after all financial matters and pay all bills (with the exception of the phone bill). I would often let DW know what is going on but see no need to let her worry about some things ... one of us worrying is quite enough.
