Shopping

Hi all!

Just been food shopping with my husband and spent £20 which unfortunately had to be put on his credit card because I only have £9 left until Friday. Feel pretty cr*p because the balance on his credit card is £1600 and we are supposed to be paying it off. Trouble is, since I've had my lightbulb moment (hey, I'm getting into all this DFW stuff!!!) I've been trying really hard to be really good with my money but of course I hadn't been for the rest of the month so am still living with the after-effects of that. If you see what I mean? Once I get my monthly £200 on Fri I will be able to start afresh as it were and continue my DFW ways, hopefully making it last the month!

Am going to put my husband's debts in my signiture because they are effectively my debts too.

Still not told him about my £200 overdraft. Feel like I'm cheating on him or something - feel really shifty and guilty! Keep going to say something but then back out because I don't want to ruin our weekend.

Hugs to all

    Lavender Lily - Don't worry you are doing the best you can - and I am sure you are learning lots of DFW ways!

    Good luck!

    Just tell him! Am sure he'll be much better about it than you think and at least then you won't be worrying about it.

    You'll be fine, honest.
