That's great mm, it must be a massive weight off your mind.

Semi money related I've had to resort to not taking money to work so I don't buy things for lunch that contain cheese/junk food. I think I'm becoming a bit obsessed with cheese which isn't healthy at all, though being a vegetarian it's quite hard to avoid with shop bought stuff, so I'm taking my own semi-healthy lunches now.

Thankyou :-)

I hear ya there Nikki -I'm veggie as well and live on cheese but for the last 3 weeks i've been on a health kick, rice cakes and low fat philly....mmmmmm not! I miss Cathedral City!!

Hey good news MM!! I am annoyed my bf didnt put his share into the joint account this month which ment we have just gone over our overdraft again because everything comes out today, so i had to withdraw money from his cc (£50 short of what is needed from him) and go pay it into account. Just checked it and we are still £25 over he says he has no more money but that £50 would put us in credit. It pees me off because he leaves it all to me when his share is not my responsibility and he should have done that last week ect plus he just spent £160 on clothes but he has no money for the joint account. He is terrible with money its really starting to annoy me now. (he has been in debt since the day i met him, 7 years ago) i am in debt now too but i manage to make it work, i have lent him money a few years back now £1600 at the time and when i said to him oh just pay me back when your doing a bit better and his response was oh i didnt think i would have to pay that back!? Ive never seen a penny of it although i did knock £600 off from him gving me lifts (when i didnt drive) and i will never see it either. Whats a girl to do?!

Oh Stacy that's not fair. I take it you live together? If so he really should be doing his share. Perhaps set up a dd on payday from his acc to the joint acc?

MM that's fab news, bet you're so pleased.

Girlies if you want to earn a fiver there's a link on the july £10 board for writing 10 reviews on a shopping site to get £5 in paypal. There is the potential to earn £100 apparently but we'll see how the £5 is first.

Yeah yukki been living together for 3 and a bit years now. (sorry living together longer but mortgage is 3 and a bit years).
He cant set up dd because the funds arent there thats why he had to withdraw on cc, which are nearly all dried up now so next month i dont know what he is going to do?! Its so annoying i cant teach him a thing been trying for probably 5 years lol he lends money and says oh ill pay that back with my tax rebate ect ect (which he received) but does he pay it back ...no! Im tired of money issues now.
