I can understand where you are coming from with your OH, this is coming from someone who is paying all the bills as OH is still unemployed. I can understand your frustration.
My OH is the same he has a CC and should have gotten one with 0% by now but cos he is unemployed he can't get a loan or a CC so he is paying this massive interest rate.
But you have let them learn their lesson and if he doesn't then you can shout at him.
Maybe when he has paid this loan he can pay ALL the bills for a few months, just keep a note of what he owes you!
But you can do it, your such a strong determined lady x
Hi GRC
Must be even worse for you having to pay all the bills every month at the moment
I'm still living in hope that he might be able to pay something still. We're not sure what his bonus is yet and his mate wants him to see him on Tuesday to discuss 'finances', so not sure if he's going to lend him some money - either that or he's going to ask him to move in to help with his mortgage!!
Will keep you posted!!

Fingers crossed that the bonus letter finally arrives today and it's more than my OH thought!!
Got a little Mickey Mouse dungarees outfit for my nephew yesterday. Only cost me £2 as I used the £10 voucher too. So I've got £50 worth of presents for him for the grand sum of £6.50
.
We went to see The Dark Knight Rises last night. It was good, but not as good as The Dark Knight. It was quite slow in places, but the last 30-45 minutes were amazing!! However, the whole of The Dark Knight was amazing. I knew it would be hard to top such a brilliant movie.

Hello Emzilla,
I've just had a read through your diary and wanted to say how well I think you're doing. Even with the financial issues from your boyfriend, you're still doing such a great job. Well done.
Your diary is a very enjoyable read.0 -

Still don't know about the bonus.
OH moving in with his mate would be good in terms of getting my own space back. However, it would be bad financially.
I'm not sure he's going to ask him that. He knows that he's living with me and he has a wife (not even been married 2 years yet) who was adamant that she didn't want a lodger. I'm not sure that OH would want to move in with him anyway as he's not that keen on his wife.
