            Hi Bob
Hope you're feeling a bit better today.
Glada that you're laying down some ground rules for Mr B to adhere to in dealing with the debt. It is definately easier if you are working from the same page.
Is he being deliberately counterproductive?
Or is he just not thinking and can't see what all the fuss is about?
Have you asked him to come up with a strategy for getting rid of the debt?After falling off the gambling wagon (twice): £33,600 (24,000+ 9,600) - Original CC Debt: £7,885.91
Dad Gift 6k ¦ Savings & Inv Tst: £2,500
Loan 10k: £0 ¦ Dad 5.5k: £2,270 ¦ LTSB: £0 ¦ RBS: £0 ¦ Virgin £0 ¦ Egg £0
Total Owed: £2,270 (+6k) 11/08/20110 - 
            
Oh gosh writing beyond the call of duty:beer: Sorry about your poorly hand, arthritis is not fun, DD1 suffers badly with it ( she gets it from Mr.B's side:cool:) But at least you have been productive on that front so :Tto you and:kisses3: for poorly hand.:DHi Bob - glad to see you back for our sakes, sorry you couldn't stay longer in Cornwall. Sounds lovely to walk along a beach with sunshine..... you've got a pretty hard road ahead with Mr B, haven't you? As you say, recovery takes two, and if he doesn't do his share sooner or later, he doesn't recover. Very sad, but true..........
As for the bingo being exciting........ I mean, why do people do it for fun? I really don't get it..... its only mse-ers that write in anything like sentences anyway, on the chat, and we're all catching the abbreviations ifswim.
EDIT - I've been sawing branches so that if my wall collapses before the builders get to it, it doesn't do damage to the neighbour's car. And now the arthritis is playing up, to the extent that typing on a laptop hurts. ow ow ow ow :mad::rolleyes:
So nice of you to say back for our sakes..i am touched ( well a lot of folk think i am touched anyway..but i meant it sincerely)
Re the bingo:eek:Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

Why George, long time no see..as such.:hello:
Funnily enough he does have a plan of sorts- i think he is a tad overwhelmed at the moment and he is fighting against his nature and inner demons....but i reckon that lightbulb is switched onto the energy saving beam at the moment...i am hoping for a full beam, totally non energy saving 150w job:D Make of that what you will....;) :whistle:
