Its tricky innit eh...can you try some reverse psychology of sortsmy xoh was so bad I cut up all cars and he had pocket money but nowt to stop em getting another card...feel for ya bob and like you would dearly love to bang head against brick wall on your behalf...maybe list the strategies you have tried and between us come up with some alternatives for you to try?!! Personally think I would be at the weeping with frustration stage by now...hugs for you.

i think this falls into the,,,
convenience, laziness,habit, area !!
convenience cash mc not that handy extra 5 min out of way!!
laziness easier to use card
habits ill put into acc on friday ,,,,,,,which friday..
i use my credit card all the ..and it took me a long while 6months min!!
to get into the habit of doing on line banking within 24 hrs of spending,,

this is where you need to nag him!!!
every mon.wed fri gets home has tea does banking....
tell him its not the card thats the problem its not paying it off that gets you so annoyed !!
then when he see you are watching him closely may be he wont feel so free to use it....

Tried that one, G-J. He has been the like that nearly all our married life, but he is and has been a fab dad and would give us all his last penny..well it generally is the case anyway. I even went on a *non, nagging* offensive in the hope that he would sort it..cue phonecalls from DCA's.:o

God I sound a right wimp.:o

I think you are right Shaun. He still does no online banking and i have no access to his banking details only the joint account and mine show on the screen when i log in. So will have to sort him out on that front..he does use online systems all the time at work so can't understand why he won't at home.

Aww thanks Pepe, my brain falls out everyday on a regular basis.:rotfl:

Nothing much to report today, except i have pulled my back ...i think it is because i have had to sleep on couch again and was really uncomfortable the other night.

Two job applications in and am decorating eggs for Guides to have a go at.:eek: Used to really enjoy crafting but with back playing up i just haven't got the patience.

Mr.b iz recovering lazily and has not even thanked me for sorting out his manky duds...so you may get a few more Bitter old bag reports...or a cunning plan mark 2 for when i move house...a girl can dream eh?:o

Off to have a mooch for a bit before i retire for the night...i think the extra hour has caught up with me. Take care all.:D x

Me too Bob, I was still up pottering at 2 am this morning I kept telling myself I'd regret it in the morning.....and I wasn't wrong

Sorry that Mr B is behaving badly. I'm sure he'd regard it as rude if someone else took you for granted - shame he can't see his own behaviour is rude.
If you want someone to come round and slap the back of his legs I'll be there

Cheers Olive. He is really just being himself and is not even out of bed yet..lazy thing.

Not a lot to report today. Online banking done mortgage paid that's about it.

Catch up later.x
