Lol SM. Your wages are like buses! It never works though does it? You will end up having to pay them back eventually!

Although DH went to a cash machine which was paying out double. I phoned the company to report it and offered the cash back. They couldn't have cared less and told me to drop it into a branch sometime! There wasn't one near us and they didn't even take my name or anything, so we kept it. I felt I had tried, and prevented them losing more money!

ETA - Hmm, probably shouldn't have confessed that as you will all think I am a bad person now! 3, please don't report me to your OH.

ETA, 3, could you sew on some buttons maybe?

I have actually done some. Button on one side, and a bit of buttonhole elastic on the otherside - both hidden where the metal bits had fell off from. Doesn't actually look too bad.
(I had a ton of buttonhole elastic from getting him cheap Primarni jeans and making them adjustable waist because trousers all seem to be made for large kids - and my J is in no way skinny but I was fed up of seeing his builders bum!)

ive been paid ... but twice ... nervous x

Oops - your payroll department sounds just as good as mine! :eek:


I agree with keeping finances seperate - but both should be paying a proportionate (sp?) amount to the household, and having similar amounts left over for spends, iykwim?

I did the joint finances with my ex, all wages went into one account, and bills came out of one account, and what was left was ours. But he always seemed to spend a huge amount more, and i'd feel guilty for spending anything and felt like I had to ask permission. Never again!

*sigh* Rhys wasn't very generous with his blood this morning It was a different nurse to the usual (irritating) one. This one was really nice but said she would only have one go before referring us up to the ward for a doctor to do it (though in our experience they're worse than the nurses! :eek:). The one attempt she did make didn't work well - got the vein but it just didn't want to bleed - so we got the option of going up to the ward then or back another time. Rhys hadn't had brekkie (milk but no brekkie) so we chose to go back tomorrow morning instead, 9am before the docs start their rounds :eek: I asked, but there's nothing we can do to improve things, his veins are just trashed from overuse

I agree, finders keepers. Unless you've seen who just lost it iykwim?

ETA: Have you got another bank account, put the extra in there earning interest until they ask for it back. That's what i'd do anyway.

ETA again: Hugs for Rhys and for having to go back.
