    WAHAY!!!! :D Hope the talk goes well - you could perhaps offer to nip to the bank/PO in the morning to pay those bills for him? ;)

    Brilliant news :)

    That is fab news - presumably this is 2 months income? If so, I would guess that it is after tax etc.

    I hope you get those bills gone soon, it will be a weight off your mind, and I am sure you can do with that!!

    Hiya. Yes lots of unknowns: is it one month's pay or two? is tax deducted? etc etc

    Still, its a good feeling that OH is earning again. And even apart from the pay, the work is doing him a lot of good by making him feel stimulated and valued.

    Just calling him in to talk bills now.

    Good luck. And good for OH too - feeling valued is most important. Everything else will follow x

    Success - I showed him the list of bills totalling £982.50. As he does not have a cheque book he agreed to transfer £1000 into my account.

    I just wish I'd included the mortgage and big loan payment on the list.

    Oh well, this is the beginning of a new dynamic so I mustn't push my luck or try to punish him for what's in the past.

    Fantastic progress :)
    So pleased you've got somewhere - and yes, shame you didn't include the big payments, but that might have scared him off!

    Well done to OH for paying up. And well done for him saving to pay off the loan. Reading between the lines I think this is quite a change in attitude on his part?
