    LOL - me a life coach - disasterous, I would kill! But thank you for the compliment.

    So DH has written cheques and there is no money to cover them, why oh why does he do that. So now I am going to have write an chq from my account to his business account and then pray that money comes in to cover it.

    Can you not just tie DH to a chair? A commode, for preference, so that he doesn't need to get up for calls of nature?

    Great idea Pickle, but I also need him to make apple pies. Now if I could just lock him in the bakery (with said commode)..................

    Is it possible for him not to write any cheques out until he's checked with you or is it unavoidable?

    That one was unavoidable Taxi but I have told him not to do it!

    So I ended up writing one from personal to business and one from business to personal, by the time Friday comes when they should all clear I will have cash to cover them! Does that make sense; if I have screwed up, someone tell me because my head is pickled.

    Pickle - I like the way you are thinking! Now if only I had the money to construct an assembly line!
