    DH still in a mood. You may remember this 'discussion' started because I was angry at his money management and untidiness, so how come HE is in a mood!

    A productive day and I feel better for it but for sure TOTM on her way :(

    Sorry I know this is a debt free diary and I have today used it as everything in my life - but I guess we need to get the carp out of the way to be able to deal with the money issues!

    Mine's turned into a career crisis thread, so don't worry, Red! ;) And it's all the carp in life which generally causes the debt so it's like a big ball of wool which all needs to be untangled in order to get sorted out.

    As for DH, he's probably feeling picked on, which means that either he knows he was wrong and he's sulking cos he's been picked up on it, or he doesn't realise it's wrong and can't get it into his head why it is wrong, in which case you need to have a word with him when you can, but he might not wish to listen. Grr. Has he has his LBM yet?
