    I'm gonna sound like a whinger here but I have to get it off my chest. It feels like every month I plan my money to perfection, and stick to it as well, but I always end up subsidising other people which sets me back. Problem is when it's the b/f I can't exactly say no because it's usually something that affects us both. He is just not mse at all and I can't understand where all his money goes because most of the bills and things come out of my accout (simply because I lived here first and it was all already set up). I swear he spends it all on food for work!

    Grr rant over.


    I completely understand your frustrations. OH had not cancelled his gym membership so has incurred a £35 bank charge. As he's not working at the mo' it's coning out of my already miniscule budget. I've now made him agree to allow me to manage his account when he's working and i've opened a seperate account for his spending money to go into.

    My stolen wiper blades also added a £28 deficit to my budget :eek:

    All this will make us stronger Silaqui - we will get there in the end :D
    One step at a time ;)

    Ebay money arrived in my account while I was away, so £45 PAD to pay off the laptop which still hasn't arrived!

    It should have less than £140 to pay off now....:j

    Are you tracking it FF my OS ordered his laptop from Dell (different model to yours and boring black) after you and he had his last Thursday less than a week from ordering :confused:

    PAD for me today of £10.32 waiting for the final bill on the work we have had done on the Lanzarote house not looking forward to that:eek:

    Have a great day.

    Boysma, yes he does give me half towards all of the shared stuff, I should probably have mentioned that before making him sound like a total !!!!! Hopeful, I wish I could do that for him but I don't know, I think I would feel like I was being a bit too pushy with us only being boyfriend/girlfriend. He does have a few debts but they are pretty small and I reckon I could clear them for him quicker than I could clear mine through a bit of strategic padding and less wastage! :money: He hates talking about budgeting too but I can't understand why. Surely anything that gives you more money to spend on yourself is a good thing! :A

    Anyway here I go again, I should shut up now, moaning minnie! :rotfl: Have been bad and not been to the gym again today as I have loads of work to be doing booo!
