    Tell me about it. Had another long talk today-well an argument about it if the truth be told:cool:

    Not sure where to go with it all TBH, he has said he will stick to a budget and has said he will do as i suggest, but i have heard before ad nauseam :o

    Finally after all of that(approx 24 hours after the statement arrived) he just sat and said i just realized how much i overspent by:wall::wall::wall::wall::wall::wall: I only wrote it in large letters, and the bank statement clearly says..money in and money out. So there you have it, the first recorded record of statement blindness, a condition brought about by having head up arriss.:eek:

    He probably will El, we have had conversations about it before and it is the usual pattern. Dragged me down a bit if i am truthful about it and i blame myself for not keeping an eye on the ball..although how much more i can help someone who doesn't want to be helped is beyond me.

    He says he will sort it- then doesn't and is happy if i leave him be and let him muddle along in his own little way. I am not calling him, just explaining how he is.
