    I would be inclined to say sorry I would love to spend some time with you whilst you are off but I am broke and see what he offers after all if he wants to spend some time with you it wouldn't hurt him to treat you for once. Hope you don't find that cheeky:o

    No DT I don't find that cheeky at all :D funny cos I thought everyone would be thinking I was a cheeky so and so for whinging about him paying!! or not paying in this case :o
    He suggested going to Scotland for 2 nights some weeks ago when he's off and then last week when we were talking about it he said 3-4 nights!!! I said I can't afford 3 or 4 nights! It's £30 each per night in a B&B plus on top of that is food and petrol! He actually sat there and worked out down to the penny!!! how much it'd cost us, he reckoned £200 each! :eek: I'll be lucky if I can find 200 p said I. Oh forget it then we wont go- huffy git!!
    This is what pee's me off about being in debt cos it just stops you having a life!!! :o
    I'm not one of those women who expects a bloke to pay for everything but his wage is a helluva lot bigger than mine plus he lives on his own, so only himself to feed! Also his other bills like gas/electric etc are way smaller too.
    Worst of all is I'll have no internet for that time either :eek: :rotfl::rotfl: how will I cope??? and how many pages will I have to read when I get back??? :rotfl::rotfl:

    Boo ! .... I was playing Virgin Bingo earlier .... there were 4 free games in the Miami room ( every day in there a few free games between 12 noon and 1pm ) .... anyway i won the grand total of 50p :rotfl: .... then i made a c*ck up and bought some tickets instead of waiting for more free ones ! :rolleyes: ....

    Tomorrow night in the Marrakesh room from 6.24 pm onwards they have some free games ... i think it's every 3rd game ....

    Haven't got any suggestions on what to do about next week .... other than what DT suggested .... it's got to be worth a try .... perhaps he'll shock you by offering to treat you ! ... As a matter of interest .... well me being nosey .... Has he got any children ?

    You'll have to hope you win the bingo or euro lottery this week ;) ...

    Ooooooooh i can't believe that both yourself and danko never knew the " extra " smileys were there ! :rotfl:

    Good suggestion .... Hopefully he'll offer to treat " one of the quads " .... and if he does .... perhaps he'll treat the rest of us ! :shocked: ...

    Have just read your other post ..... if he's sat and worked the money out down to the last penny , i can't see him offering to treat you ....

    Anyway it would take you hours to catch up on all the posts that you would miss !

    Hmmmmmmmm how about the " doing " the chat lines with Julie and angelic to make some extra money ? ;):rotfl: ....

    Hi Green, sorry your OH is a bit huffy...................men!!!!!! :mad::mad:

    I know we are slightly different cos been married 21 years now but I do have advice for those that are about to make a leap and join with another homo-hairy-geet in house bliss....................are you ready

    YOU CONTROL THE MOULA

    None of this seperate banks lark and whats yours is yours and mine is mine!!!!!!!!! NO CONTROL IT ALL :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Best way, thats what I say:p

    Seriously, Green have you shown him in black and white what constraints you are under??? Surely he would be a little sympathetic and ANYWAY..............love means caring and sharing to say "I love you" or am I just old fashioned??????????


    I must admit I was shocked when I read a post the other day on DFW board about a couple who had a problem and "one" was sick of bailing the other out..............I know its each to his own but I am not sure I could stand by and watch my OH struggle, especially if I had funds to help, sorry if that upsets anyone.....................mind you we are in debt cos I'm a sucker for his hairy chest and tatts :rolleyes:
