    So anyways, while I'm getting DS dressed after his shower (he goes in with Daddy), OH comes along to the pc to sign himself up!!!:eek: Unfortunately, as I'd been using the AOL email, it wouldn't let him, so I said I'd fix it so he could get on and he said......'if u can fix it, I'll sign up tomorrow'

    I was like 'ok' all casual, but I nearly fell on the floor again..... I don't know if I'm in a dream or what, but someone seems to have abducted my OH replaced him with an alien!!!!! A very welcome alien tho..........

    Things could be a-changing :cool:

    It's only because he wants to go on a meet and come back with a smile as big as yours.

  • Quick little update..... Oh still hasn't signed up - why am I not surprised!?!
    He also recieved a £26.50 bank credit today from T-Mobile...... he left them months ago, but I found an old bill that said he was in credit by that much, so I wrote to them and they sent it back today :T

    So his debt is reduced by £26.50...... only another £1771.87 to go :mad:

    At least it's reducing Sarah, it's moving in the right direction.

    has he stopped smoking yet?

    Not yet, but he promises to give up by the time he's 29, which is the beginning of March. Not gonna push it, I'll let him do it in his own time....

    Well I think he's getting there slowly..... last night he was flicking thru the Sky + and saw IPTW on there, and actually sat and watched the whole thing!!!:eek: Perhaps there's hope for him after all!

    Hi Sarah,

    I've just read thro' most of your thread, I'm glad things seem to be improving. I do hope your OH has seen the light! Couples with different ways of thinking about money (or should I say spending/saving it!) have most rows I think. Luckily it's the one thing OH and I don't row about......everything else though, frequently! Have you always been the sensible one or have you become more that way since having DS? I think it was having my daughter which made me super responsible as before that I do remeber always being in my overdraft by the end of the month.
