    DH has kindly helped me out with my budget and spent £30 which he then forgot to tell me :mad:. Was just about to ring the bank and find out what it was for when he admitted to it, with a ooooo sorry thought i put it on the cc :mad:
    Anyway another day down and £7 spend at tesco for a few essentials.

    Well I am not going to comment on DH's and spending money!!!

    Actualy I will comment - he did it again today - used money from our account and only told me when I got home. He of course, has no idea if dd's are due or if I have allocated the money to something!
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Tell me about it, not going to panic just yet but i think i will fill DH wallet with paper cc that you get when you buy a new wallet maybe that will stop him.
    I guess building a bit of spare into the o/d is required when they forget there is no spare money to spend. I had my card cloned a few years ago and now panic at the slightest thing that looks wrong.
    This reverse phscology stuff will it work if I say there is lots of money in the bank, not sure i want to take the risk........

    I got signed up to a !!!!!! website for about a year on a Capital One credit card, I never noticed as I only ever looked at the minimum payment! I did get a full refund when I finally noticed and queried it!
