hey Ames, i am not entirely sure she has changed 'that much' but any change is better than none in this regard,
i am still the one in the house who say's no to everything and unfrotunatly the kids know this so if there is anything they really want that they know they shouldnt have, they go to her when i am at work which works sometimes (this is the biggest improvement as it used to always work), although less and less since i have slowly got her away from credit so she has to live on whats in her bank account which is never much since she only gets the tax credits in her account)
god it sounds so harsh that i control the purse strings this much, i just hope she doesnt think i am being to much of a control freak
oh well these things happen and i have just taken on 3k of debt from her in my name
although i have to give her some credit in the 7 years we have been together (nearly 3 years married) she has gone from having 4 cataloges 2 loans a credit card and a overdraft totaling roughly 15k and now all 'she' has is her 1500 OD and the 3k i have just transfered so maybe i am being too tough on her 10k in 7 years is not bad when she hasnt had her lightbulb moment yetDrop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -
gonzo - that's the key, that she's doing so well and hasn't even had her LBM.
claire, she'll be working on a cruise ship doing roady work for the shows they have on.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -
its hard work from my side though keeping her on the stright and narrow when she hasnt had her LBM
the amount of times i have had a rant on here about her when she has had a fcuk it moment and spent a shed load gggrrr
but hey we are still managing to get through it i just need to get a much better paid job, or at least get her back to work as doing all this on my poxy £21k wage with 2 teenagers a baby and me and the mrs is far more hard work than i likeDrop a brand challenge

I've no idea which ship SRM, I don't think she knows yet either. She'll start in a few months, she needs to sort out visas and stuff first.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0
