Someone tell me to stop being a b*tch.

Just doing the banking, and noted OH had taken £250 out of his bank account each day for the last 3 days. I ring him and ask him about it... he says he has done this so he has cash to get DS2 a new car this weekend.

We are supposed to be flipping stopping being an open bank account for the kids..... I told him I was going to stop putting money in his account and he can live off his pension (I really must be hormonal).

I had to google the Verve Clicquot... now I need to know what type of Verve Clicquot it is.... and why the heck is it so expensive (I am rubbish at plonk... a few years ago we was given a £200 bottle of champagne as a xmas gift. We drank it when DS2 turned 21, in his student digs out of plastic cups!

:p:p:p:p

nothing wrong with a plastic cup...some of the best memories are always made when you don't have the correct glass.....it tastes just as good out of "Mr Men mugs" too.....

A friend of mine looks after her grandchild one full day each week whilst her son and dil go to work. I asked her if she was claiming national insurance credits, as these can count towards her state pension....she did not know about this...but is now going to claim. So it occurred to me....are the elite who care for their grandchildren aware of this?
