Alternatively report his card lost and ask them not replace it as you will just use your card

:rotfl::rotfl: I love this idea! Do you have a friendly male relative that would do this for you? :rotfl: Does the bank have a policy on what happens to joint accounts when people split up?

Kazwookie LOL I can just imagine what the helpful suggestions were! “Go away” being one of them!

Greenbee, good news about the job thing

Bevan, glad your finances are slowly easing and you are able to rest

Hugs Sarah and your friend

I'm feeling sooooo relaxed! My support worker helping me to make a plan of action and my lovely nap just now have made me feel all calm and chilled!

I've made some more space in the freezer by finding a tub of what looks like Coq au vin so that is defrosting. I will declutter that along with some rice soon, and do some washing up as well so we have stuff to eat it with!

Have recovered the kitchen which was disappearing under pots and pans.

pigpen this is not good advice, but made me feel better. Write him a letter that is on the surface calm and helpful, with an acrostic spelling anything you want to call him, like the see you next tuesday word... so each line begins with one of the letters in the rude word.

Am ashamed to say I did this, and it spelled f**k 0*f, made me feel much better, and he never twigged!!

Now, this is the Shabbey we are talking about here..

I have 2 other accounts in my name only but the arrangement is that the CA and DLA are still paid onthis account.. even though it is more than double the required payment.

I can't report his card lost.. he has to do it!! I refuse to pretend to be a man!!

Shabbey or otherwise they can't force you to have credits (especially benefits) paid into that account. I definitely would be opening up an account elsewhere. They should be able to take instructions from either party on a joint account unless you set it up any other way originally.

I have awarded myself a star for today. Front room is as back as it can be until the plaster has dried. I've also watered the garden - the potatoes were looking very thirsty regardless of all the rain we had on Wednesday.

DD and DiL made an offer on the place we saw yesterday (DD and DiL went back and viewed today) and it's been accepted. I've told them not to get their hopes up too high - there's a long way to go yet. What is the lead time for buying these days?

Am now going to phone NN and say hello to Gordon

printed dh electrician application for oz (had to open an email account for him too)
dh half dismantled the toddler slide (goes on ebay)
