    Good grief, of course not! None of us are perfect, it's just a hell of a lot easier to look from the outside and point out how to resolve problems than it is when you're actually in the thick of it.

    I'll start a new thread about problems and I'm sure there would be loads of contributors.....absolutely nothing to do with money saving though! :rolleyes: ;)

    His DS has an interview at two Universities in the North on the 21st and 22nd and he is taking him up there.

    I've heard the PC whirring into action at 7 in the morning and then as soon as he arrives in the evening he is on it and then straight after dinner until about 11. when I heard him turn it on last night as he arrived I asked if he could spend the evening with me.

    OK I'll cut him some slack about his son's Uni interviews BUT you feed him and then he uses Your 'puter to do his research:eek:

    One sided isn't in it.

    Hi OM

    I certainly don't think badly of you - your OH on the other hand...

    He seems to be all take and no give where you are concerned, and I don't know if anyone else thinks the same, but I'm wondering if the reason he went ballistic over your debt is that he is enjoying a free ride at your expense.

    Have you thought that the reason he doesn't contribute is that he can't afford to. Or, maybe, the reason he is debt free is because you seem to pay for everything.

    You DESERVE better!!
