    Or just transfer money into a separate account without a debit card and hope that the effort of transferring it back to our main account will counteract the temptation of spending it. Much better to learn self-control though. ( he said hypocritically!)

    My ex was financially incontinent, so used to give me his bank and credit cards to hide. Only give then to someone you really trust though, and don't provide the PIN.

    Are you taking the p*ss here with that post?

    We'd know emergency had struck when the tank of beef stew was defrosting on the draining board. (Still tasted great - she'd wrap the card thoroughly before drowning & freezing it.)
