Oh mhoc, I think our other half's must be related!
Mine does manage a bank account of his own as is very careful with it, but always has to ask which card to use.
Mine is really not ready for contactless, although that might be his next step as he does have a TSB card, which he never uses. We have had a joint Nationwide card for years as I felt he might need access to monies if something happened to me, but as he never used it, despite me prompting him to, they now no longer renew it unless asked.
I am compiling an easy read list of what accounts we have, very little detail, so if death or dementia comes my way at least he will know where the money is - going to send a copy to DS as well.

I have this too, but its my only my friend who could access it DH does not want to know

Just popping on quickly whilst on lunch to thank mhoc for the Liverpool advise.
It's Sun/mon trip and we are staying in the mercur atlantic xx

that's good - it tends to get a bit rowdy at the wekeends with the football crowds, hens and stag does etc but a lopsided weekend is better.

Woke up at 3am to the sound of Fourp being very very sick :eek:
He has caught the dreaded sickness bug that is doing the rounds here
I'm avoiding him
Admittedly he is in a ghastly state, cold & shivery, yet hot

Wouldn't wish it on an enemy poor soul

Get well soon Fourp

mhoc

My day is going down the pan, its like gripping a slippery run away eel.

The cats are missing their dad so I am trying to pander to their needs with immense patience - he was only away one night for goodness sake but they are acting like he has been away for weeks ....:D

Managed to get the ebay parcels ready

Then I had a one word message from eldest son - just Hi

He is away and staying with his GFs family, everyone has gone to work and he has run out of things to amuse himself with so we have a 40 min conversation about not very much ....not complaining in the slightest- far far rather than a 40 min conversation about not very much rather than a son who ignores me
Then I go and have a think and a figure about his driving license and message him about it and put various reminders on the calendar.

and then I come and have a catch up on here before the next bit

and then I get another message, just a Hi - this is from youngest Errant son ...

mhoc

So Errant son says Hi, he has something to tell me ...

It turns out that his employers have terminated his contract - he had 6 months on probation but there was some sort of problem in December so it was extended.
I only know this because they sent him a letter but it came to this address as he never bothered updating HR

It just gets worse and worse

so now he is homeless and job less ...

so basically 3 years of college and 2 years of uni to get into his dream career all for nothing, this is the 2nd time he has done this so he wont get employment in this industry ever again ...

He was ringing his big sister on Saturday and they (eldest child and her BF) are helping him with an appeal - BF spent all Sunday afternoon composing an appeal letter for him ...
2 weeks away from wedding day, they really don't need this hassle

That's strange, it could be over then but mine was fine from C&C this morning.

10x Gillette Venus Embrace 5 Blade Razor & Shower Holder (each) £50.00 £10.00

So you got an APG of £16.01, but the razors don't look like they compared?

Edit: It looks like you may have copied in the Tosco comparison.
