The only time he will stay awake is if we go somewhere in the evening to the pub quiz- in which case he has an especially late night and is playing pool. He says if he is kept occupied or is doing something then he will stay awake. He does work long hours and lately it has been 6 days a week 7-7pm. That isn't always the case i have to say..but it has been the past two months. So as you can see very little time to get anything resolved and i need to pick my times carefully. He is also keen to avoid any conflicting conversations and it is not one to confront or argue.
Well that probably rules out sleep apnea, though the snoring is a good sign of that. I assume with him coming from up here he isn't a vegan, so that probably rules out anaemia...
Thyroid tests?
As for tackling him on the debt. I don't know about that. It's a good sign that he was feeling motivated with them disappearing, but that itself has probably been diminished with pressures from work and family and general tiredness.
Keep on with the "you want to use the car you pay" thing. He's probably spent virtually all his life believing that things happen by magic. The bills get paid by magic, your car fills with petrol by magic.

Shut up about shutting up. This is your thread, it is for you to sound off about things...savingwannabe wrote: »Big hug ok. I wish you lived closer. Steve and Andy would make you cake. I would make you a curry and it would all be ok.
