    lol LT, its not sad unfortunately my Mum saw too many of her friends go through divorce so told me if I ever bought a place I make sure it's solely mine. I got OH to sign a prenup which means if we split the only things he leaves with are the things he came with thats it. It might sound harsh but I felt it was right after some of the nutcases I ended up with over the years.

    LT, why are you in the doldrums? Jumping over to yours and/or stripey diary to see what's going on.


    oh P.S. got some tarot done tonight (£5), better than nothing.

    thanks Keiss

    Yay Uni that's fab! all the little bits extra will really make a difference.

    Re lessons taught by your mum, mine taught me to be in control of the family finances, luckily Mr LT doesn't mind, but i certainly rule them. There's still some training issues but we'll get there eventually lol

    I am so tired this morning. OH called me at 3am this morning, long story but I am not happy with him. Had to go get him, he's stressing me out completely (might feel better once I've had a cuppa and some breakfast, had nothing so far) and he just will not listen. Was mega late for work this morning and it got noticed. Went back to bed after bringing him home and when I finally got back to sleep I slept it. I'm so angry, he's full of advice for other people (suck it up and get on with it was the advice he gave me when I was in the same situation) but won't take any himself. Told him if he doesn't sort this out I'm not going back to him sitting about the house and all the rows.

  • I think he needs a boot up the backside Keiss, told him as much. Went to take money out if HIS account to buy his cigarettes and he's overdrawn. I put £120 in there last week, I've used it twice £11 in supermarket and £20 cash machine. I told him he better sort it out, there's money coming out of his account somehow and since I've had the card I know he's not been spending.

    argh uni, hope you get him sorted out, sending you hugs.
    i slept through the first half hour of my alarm this morning as well, but most of that's cos Mr LT was chatting in bed last night til about half twelve, he didn't get the hint with me barely answering. trouble is we seem to do most of our 'deep' chatting in bed after 18mths of living a part and chatting every night once we'd got to bed.
