DHs!!:eek:
Last night my DH's mobile rang and he muttered why are 3 ringing me now. I replied, flippantly, well you won't know if you don't answer.

A few minutes later he is getting his wallet out and asking me what his bank sort code is on his debit card.:eek: Don't give people on the phone your bank details says I. I'm not he says, I just want my sort code.

A minute later I hear him starting to give his account number, so I shrieked like a banshee to tell him to stop, a bit of an 'excghange of words' took place but he did end the call without having given the full number.

But I wasn't giving them my (long) card number he says - no, but you were giving them your bank sort code and account number:mad:

Oh, he says, I didn't realise. He's had that account for about 15 years, checks statements, uses internet banking, how could he not realise that was his account number and sort code on the card:think: I know I do almost all of the finance type stuff, but....

I was waiting to be blamed for telling him to answer the phone, but he must of realised how daft he had been as this didn't come up.

It turns out that he had been doing a 'survey' for amazon (he had asked me earlier who was our energy supplier). Thank goodness most of the accounts are through my various bank accounts.

I am currently putting together a book re accounts, savings etc 'just in case, but I think he needs to sit down with me and go through everything, including internet security!

As far as I'm aware if the offence committed occurred before the 1st of March this year, it's 2 years. Anything after that stays on your licence for a minimum of 4 years now and is added as a code on the back on the back of the card licence. Also licences are dated from provisionals. So if he applied for his provisional in 2008, it would expire in 2018 even if it's been upgraded to a full licence in the duration. Hope that makes sense!

Morning :wave:

ta for this, I've logged onto the DVLA page and its 3 years before the points expire but 4 years before they are removed - not sure why this is.
The offense was committed in January

As for the peculiar date October 2008 that would make more sense as a provisional licence date - perhaps he applied for one and I've forgotten or he didn't say. I know he did his driving all in one fell swoop in 2011 when he was in army training... the mystery deepens.

Just messaged him and he says that's right but he seems to think it was when he was 17 but he would have been at college then. He only did Saturdays at the butchers and he earned £29 so he could not have afforded to learn to drive.
We always used to joke that he via the ATC did his first solo flight in a light aircraft and learn to fly gliders before he got his driving license via the army intensive training course so it still does not make much sense ...

I frequently shout at my OH when I hear him giving his DOB over the phone, I never 'confirm' any details over the phone when they have called me, cannot prove who they are.

what did you think locarr would like to know?

He wasn't asking if you had been in a Norwegian bar but suggesting that would be a good place to spend it

Lol he was jokingly insinuating I got it from a Norwegian bar well at least that's how I read it.

Anyway looked in Tesco for these cineworld DVD s and the cheapest ones were £5 so not as good as £3

This is a nice thing to do if it hasn't already been mentioned:

Doesn't take long but the view on a clear day is lovely.

Its very scary - my OH is the same, not very financially astute - partly its laziness because I've always been the financial adviser and its all too much effort for him. He really has no interest in it and I think he likes to play the down trodden OH - whilst still enjoying the benefits that come with being married to someone that manages everything.

He has difficulty telling the difference between a credit card and a debit card - even though it quite clearly says which is which on them. It was only really in the last few years that he has had a credit card and only after I was fully satisfied that he understood the difference. If he has to go anywhere and pay for things I have to say use the credit card

The credit card is paid in full at the end of the month. The debit card is for withdrawing cash but he has to tell me so I can make sure its been topped up - it earns interest up to a certain balance.

One day a few years ago he got cash out of the cash machine and said he had difficulties with his pin - turned out it was the credit card he had used instead of the debit card. So I had to ring the CC people up and ask, well begged them really, for them to reverse the charges and I then put the money back onto the card - otherwise a £30 charge :mad:
They reversed the charges fortunately but I had to ring again because it also incurred further charges the following month

He now has a TSB contactless card which we spend up to £100 a month on day to day stuff to earn the £5 reward - this is another advanced stage we are up to ..
