    It takes time mine is coming round slowly but i now give him pocket money and tell him off when he forgets to give me the receipts :cool:.
    Also the bribery works wonders ;)

    Tried that, he spent it, then asked for my credit card to get money out:mad:

    53/100 listed, so bored I started checking what was for sale ;)
    Proud to be dealing with my debts,

    Hello, No advice on the DH mine is just as bad!!! I also tried the 'pocket money' and is all gone to quick and then he needs more money for something or other which he will take from a different pot like the shopping money!!!! grrrr

    My sil gets free prescriptions because she has the same as you do so fingers crossed you will get exemption!!

    Your doing soo well with all your ebay listings - hope they sell well....

    Hi Cialilerin - just wanted to sympathise about the DH situation, it is SUCH a struggle to get my DH round to my way of MSE thinking. Every time he has a good work month he wants to go out and buy something new that he doesn't need! I feel like such a nag all the time but I know when we are debt free he will be thanking me in his own little way (well he better do!).

    Going to follow your progress :D
    Me, DH and DD (17 months) clearing our debt for a better future. Then (LBM) = £21,636.43 (Oct 2009) Now = £12128.07 (44%)
    GOALS/CHALLENGES
    Try to get credit card to £2k by April 2012 (was £3014.94)
    PADing to clear CC 1/1/12 TOTAL: £32.00
    Ditch 100 in January challenge: lost count but way over 100!!!/100

    I think when we are finally debt free he'll convince himself that it's all thanks to him!!:rotfl:

    64/100 done, don't think I want them to sell though cos then I'd have to wrap them all.
    HWG, 86 relists? Definitely got to count!!

    I can understand why RMC went off ebay after your 100 in a weekend challenge! Went to Asda today and when I was in the clothes dept, kept picking things up and wondering how much the postage would be!!:rotfl:
