That is 5 more sit ups each time than i have done lol.

I find with bars of chocolate, I just can't have them in the house:o! So I just don't buy them most of the time. Other forms of chocolate aren't so bad. But if there is a bar of it in the house then it is MINE and it goes lol!

Chev, I used to adore chocolate but after my op I found even the thought of it was making me feel sick. But I've moved buildings at work and the chocolate here is kept in the chill so I have indulged. Did 8 sit ups last night and 5 this morning.

No extra work last night was too tired, need to get stuck in tonight. Did clicks last night, some Vivatic (another £6 to my next and 7th payout from them) and some Toluna (anyone else found it takes an age to get anywhere with them?). OH has said he will pay me back the money he hasn't been able to put into the bills but will only do that once his cc is clear (which should be start of October), which by then he'll owe me around £1500..... and I don't think he realises . OH's son has started a new job and is moaning about it already until we basically said look any job is better than no job, he's also not happy that as of his pay day he needs to start paying dig money again. I don't ask him for a lot (£20) but he thinks he's hard done by (he gets meals, sandwiches made and all washing and most ironing done). OH said he'd be hard pushed finding somewhere for £80 a week with all that thrown in let alone his £80 a month with us.

Have made sandwiches today so I don't have to buy stuff from the canteen. Forgot to do it last night so it was a rush job this morning (sandwich paste).

there was a poster on here i think her name was xxxJacksxxx see if it comes up on the search engine. Anyway on her thread she put a list of jobs and charges. as a way of 'explaining' to her son just how hard he WASN'T being done by.

Sorry £20 is taking the p. He should at least pay his proportion of the bills and food. Work it out and tell him that. Or he can move out.....

Thanks Chev, I'll have a look. Have a hard enough time getting him to pay for box office. His answer is "well you do get a discount". I'm just keeping a tally of his bill, he's getting reminded on a daily basis at the moment.

kids and housekeeping - my mum always made us pay ours but a lot these days think they shouldn't have to.
can i move in with you for £20 per week all in?? please??
we've currently got a storm playing with us at the moment, i've been looking forward to it because we need rain and in the hope that it will cool things down but it's here for a minute or two then goes off somewhere else grr

So he's going to "pay off" his debt by getting into more debt (to you). Net result? Zero...

You can't pay off debt with debt. You can only pay it off with money you have earned that you have not spent. That's the nasty, miserable money that brings no instant gratification to those who want it.

Do we get a sweepstake on how long it takes him to pay off that £1,500? My first guess is: 438 years.

You're more than welcome anytime LT!

OH's son was moaning about 'lumpy' mash on monday (trying to show off as his cousin was over trying to mend our shower), his cousin (after seeing him ditch half his dinner in the bin and scoff half the biscuit tin whilst waiting on the kettle boiling) told him he was an ungrateful **** and that there was nothing wrong with my cooking and he'd be happy to eat my cooking every night (he usually asks if he's over if he can have a little for his packed lunch the next day). So OH's son has been in a complete mood since then, I've just ignored him. OH's daughter been on the phone and came out with a load of expletives as she didn't get her own way. Told OH I'm done with her and he needs to let go otherwise he's facing a stroke or heart attack.


Did the body health tests on the Channel 4 website. I agree with my BMI and body fat (overweight) but apparently (given my situation) I'm not at risk from depression! :rotfl: Sorry I found this so funny, anyone who has been through what OH and I have been through the last few years and not be affected must have the patience of a saint.

Not sure how to do multiple quotes but Dragon and ZTD you made me laugh


yes it'll take him an age to pay off the debt. At least I know should the worst happen I can pay all the bills myself (I did before). As I said i'm not entertaining OH's daughter or any of her silly mistakes.... I like my sanity intact.
