    Country file has just done a piece on north eastern dialect words.

    I like
    Scum fished which they implied meant knackered but the online dictionary said it meant hot and bothered - which is correct?

    Oh says he heard lala this afternoon which is Australian slang for the loo - eg lala paper :D

    I saw that. I like clarty..which means mucky/dirty and I hadn't heard it since I was a child :)

    Yeah, I also found out exactly what hubby had on his Credit card! If we pay both mine and his off in full, we might just be able to afford a fish and chip dinner to celebrate :-)

    Still, I'm completely over the moon, a massive thanks again to all who mentioned the deal xx

    Let him pay his own off. Us ladies are too quick to help our men and they are not always grateful.

    A bigger worry would be those that keep on playing it and losing more money.

    But we are all adults on here so decide for yourself but as people have mentioned best not take the chance with any of these gambling sites if you think you may get carried away or can not afford it if cashback does not work, because unlike asda you can not return it if it does not work in your favour.

    Same with those on diets do not do any crisp glitches :eek:
    Yep - already made that mistake :o

    We had a bit of a row yesterday and weren't really talking when we went to bed, so he thought he was in trouble again this morning when I woke him up saying "I need to talk to you". Maybe I should've kept my mouth shut :-)

    I think my OH is scared of money. He hates dealing with it and TBH I think the only time he spends any is at my birthday and Christmas and whatever rubbish he buys on fleabay........he doesn't even know he's got online banking:rotfl::rotfl:

    Men can be pretty hopeless. When we were in dire straits financially back in 2001 I was offered a job abroad for 3 x 2 weeks periods catering with my sis. I left me OH in charge and cam back to find my 15 year old daughter had gone to stay with relatives cause of his drinking, a broken glass in the corner of the kitchen and new towels in the bathroom. Despite the fact that I have a small mountain of towels in the airing cupboard.
    When i had 4 eye ops in 2004 he was useless and my 17 year old daughter had to look after me and at one point I had to go to live at my sisters for a week. Even my parents in their seventies were more use.
    When I do him favours now I remind him of that time.
