went to docs and got stronger drugs (only antihistamine) and while I was there I asked about a mole that was bothering me - got all clear so now wishing I'd asked sooner as it was worrying me a little, still haven't been to docs for years so must get some sort of NHS bonus surely:rotfl:? Prescriptions now only £4 so that was a relief.
Watching rich sods dismiss nice houses...no idea why I watch it:o:D.Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

it's not that they can buy nice and very expensive houses that bugs me but the way they look down their noses at stuff as if it's carp - oh to have half a million lying about...:rolleyes:it is always hard to be stuck in the middle of it ...playing devils advocate is probably the best way forward ...good luck with it
TBH she already sounds like she's decided to leave it's just a timing thing, she's tried to talk to him but he won't talk, tried spending more time doing fun stuff on their own but he seems to avoid this, I couldn't really suggest much else appart from trying counselling on her own if necessary. He is being a !!!!!! but kinda wondering if there is anything underlying - think he might drink more than he should... I suppose she knows she can always come here and rant when it gets too much so not much else I can do, would offer to have kids if it helped but he is just not turning up when they arrange to go out - bit embarrasing when the babysitter's there...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Still another week till payday and not much money left... DS away this weekend so I think I'll be spending a lot of time at the gym seeing it's paid for! Feeling tempted to count up piggybank money and see if there's enough to stick another fiver in savings - sad but every little helps!Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Oh yes...that was a promise you made - you'd get value for money out of the gym...

I just end up feeding it to those automatic tills at tesco etc. They count it up and *don't* cream a percentage off like a constar machine..."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)
