    Any woman who hands over all her pension/income to 'pay bills' for pocket money from her toyboy needs a good old smack upside her head.

    Either you pool ALL income into a joint acct and no one has to wait for handouts, or you pay half of everything each.

    Ah here come all the womens libs comments.Just like the veggies.Some people cant understand that a happy sucessful relationship is on trust and not money orientated ,and that my wife is completely at ease in the way we do things.Also the various accounts we use are to make the most of various bank incentives.So she doent need 'a good smack upside her head',unlike the person who makes this sort of rash statement without knowing the facts.

    As said before think they work on NI numbers..
    You hear a lot of pensioners saying they buy xmas presents with their heating allowance..Maybe one solution would be to pay it direct to energy company's but I would imagine that would be time consuming as people are with different company's and are swapping and changing all the time.
