When I met him, I was a single parent and getting at lot in working tax and child tax credits, which I lost when he moved in. He said he would make up the shortfall, which seemed fair at the time. However I never took into account the extra costs he would bring, such as his food, toiletries, and what not, then the extra person to feed and clothe when Charlotte came along. I have asked for more money but he says he cannot afford to give me any.

Thats what we did, I showed him what i'd lose with him moving in, he matched it, and added a bit for keeping him. It came as a shock to him, as he came to me straight from being spoilt by Mum & Dad. Where was your OH before he came to you?, is he also a spoilt one?

Lights - we've got these from Ikea £14.99 each, attached to the headboard. They're bright enough for him to read his war books , but not bright enough to annoy me & V.

3 how do you dry the trousers? I found that if I put them over the radiator they metal clasps snapped, but in the TD on the low setting they don't.

Tumble dryer, except for summer. It's that he doesn't undo them to go to the toilet, just pulls them down. But it took long enough to get him using the toilet, i'm not going to moan about him breaking his trousers.

I have to go out and get electric, I have 13p in my meter :rotfl: and that's emergency. I hate having a key thingy, but I have to pay to get it taken out? I didn't get it put in! The last tennants did.

What supplier are you with? And how long have you lived there? I work for one of the big gas & elec companies (not telling which in case i get any angry comments!) and in the prepayment meter department so kinda know the rules & what companies will do what.

And i know what you mean - I've never had one myself and didn't even know they existed til i started this job - but ever since I started there, I've always said I wouldn't move into a house with a prepayment meter cos they're such a pain! Mind you, saying that, i know some people who wouldn't be without theirs. They're not for me tho.

3, I wouldn't moan either

But you have just reminded me that I will need elasticated trousers for DS2 as the school are planning on helping him with toilet training.

OK, off to wake wee stinky and load the TD again.

J (and most of them) wore grey tracksuit trousers at primary/junior school for that reason! It was as he went into senior school that he got the hang of it, so I thought he could start to wear proper big boy trousers.

I'm back!!! it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lush!!!

It's on the drive for all the neighbours to see! Should have put it behind the agtes so I could ogle it from the kitchen window but hey!
Nah, not put it behind the gates cos our drive is quite narrow and I want OH to see me up the first time as this car is wider than my old one. :o

I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Anyways, my house is a tip :eek: Off to put the clean washing away and try n tidy up before OH comes home so I can show off my new car!

Jillie - you can end an auction to the highest bidder.
