LonelyRat's (not so lonely) Road to Riches

onedaysomeday

Hope you get some sunshine today! I put my sunglasses on to leave the house this morning and realised I was being slightly optimistic as its grey and windy and horrible today :rotfl:

Glad you are feeling fitter!

lonelyrat

It looks pretty sunny! I've made that mistake with sunglasses many times haha!

Just put my suncream on then going to go on my walk. Sorted the ASOS and New Look parcels so have put them in OH's rucksack which I will borrow.
OH came to bed at half 7 this morning... :eek: I'd already been up and had my breakfast by the time he came in. Don't really know what to do to try to help. I'm finding it a bit frustrating that even though I've stopped drinking I'm still having to spend money on booze for him almost every night. I've decided when I get paid (maybe tomorrow?!) to just withdraw some cash and give it to him. Then it's up to him what he spends it on and if he runs out, he runs out.

Rant over :rotfl:

You're kinder than me I'd be having stern words if I was going to bed and waking up by myself and paying for his booze :rotfl:

I would definitely be having very stern words with him if I were you... I know he's letting off steam from uni but there is a limit and I would make it known that you won't be subsidising him anymore. You need to nip it in the bud!

Haha Onedaysomeday/ Silver Queen words have been had but they weren't necessarily "stern" :rotfl: I don't do stern very well it seems! He's not drinking for a week which makes me happy. I think it would improve his mood a lot and hopefully he'll feel motivated to start looking for jobs.

Had a lovely day. Did my 10,000 steps when taking the parcels to the post office then came home and went and sat outside with OH's parents (while he slept ). Was nice hanging out with them and then OH's sister came over with his niece and their dog. When OH finally woke up we went another walk with the doggo so managed another 4,500 steps. Felt it was needed as I ate more chocolate than I had planned today May have gone slightly over my 1260 calorie goal... Will have a better day tomorrow.

Potentially getting paid tomorrow so will join up to the gym and make a payment to the Santander card. Excited for both those things :cool: Not so excited about work though :rotfl:

Sorry lonelyrat I agree with the other 2. There is no way I'd be putting up with it. Especially as your having to buy him booze and you're trying to pay off debt at the same time. That's good he's not going to drink for a week, hopefully he'll stop after that. You are doing so well and not long left before debt free yay!

You are a SAINT! Pretty sure I wouldn't be subsidising OHs drinking and weird sleep schedule if he's not even looking for a job yet! I get that he was winding down from the stress of finals etc, but that was a month or so ago wasn't it? I would've had more than 'stern' words by now! But then I can be a bit hard-nosed apparently (aka total biatch) :rotfl:


Great stuff on the walking and weight loss. I am still ploughing through Insanity - 3 weeks to go - and considering whether I am ready for the Max 30 workout once I'm done!

Silver_Queen

I am a total b!tch as well to be honest :rotfl: my OH was briefly unemployed when we first got together and within two weeks I'd whipped him into shape and made him get a job. I think it can be hard to be firm with them especially when you're not married i.e. are 'just' BF and GF but think about how much better it will be for him and his own career prospects etc once he gets a job, let alone how much easier it will be for both of you money wise!

onedaysomeday

I'm in the b!tch club too :rotfl:
