    Well good luck telling him.

    I have found that the best way to deal with situations like this is to tell the truth and admit you were completly in the wrong. Men are usually so shocked that us girls can be wrong that they focus on that rather than anything else.

    I am sure he will be really pleased for you and delighted that you wont need to argue over holidays and taking time off again.

    Hi there... told my OH and he was SO happy for me! :D yay!
    He was angry with the agency though and really sad that we went through so many fights becuase of it...
    Thing is, I forgot about the taxman and although the money went into my account today, I have been taxed 500.00!!!
    I can't believe it. All I have left has had to go on my new flat (Deposit & first month's rent).
    I can't even get myself a little treat or like I wanted, to get my hair cut and coloured! :(
    grrrr! I HATE THE TAXMAN!!!!

    Hi Little Pickle
    If you were due 1200 it cant be correct that they taxed you @ 500?
    I would look into this if I was you.
    Maybe you could let your BF treat you to having your hair coloured & cut.
    Anyway, take care.
