That's exactly what I'm like, swear I'm getting too old for it, used to be able to have a good night out and get up for work early next day, now It takes me 3 days to feel half human.0

well DH has disappeared out to the pub with a friend for a few :beer:. He told me half hour before he was going. Lucky for me I have friends who love to tell me all they know and there was talk of them all disappearing out on Tuesday so i've known about DH's 'last minute plans' to go to the pub for most of the week *where is the eye rolling, sarcastic smiley*
I'm a bit fed up with him tbh. It's payday and I knew it was going to happen but I clearly didn't prepare myself very well for it and I fell for it. DH engineered an argument yesterday which resulted in me throwing his bank card back at him. So i'm back to square one and you know what yet again, whatever. Have decided i'm pushing forward with my goals with one slight change. The first three debts I will knock off will all be addressed to, and will have been run up by MRS DFW. NOT MR DFW. I will get rid of mine first. Hopefully all his will be left and I will pass the budgeting on to him to juggle debts. That will be fun for him. Anyway on a brighter note I have the t.v, some green & blacks & wine. Still feeling a bit fed up but really trying hard not to let him beat me to where he wants me (in a mood so he can get away with spending hundreds of pounds on himself this month as he did last month)Emergency Fund goal - £717.77/1500
