    Agree maybe put a block on the account or set him up separately with a pre paid card linked to it so it can’t be used to go overdrawn and yes do see if there is something he could do on the internet to stop being bbored.

    But honestly...you as Milann says have the patience of a saint. One step forward and one to the side. Roll on your holiday ....

    Thanks for your comments folks, much appreciated xx

    What annoyed me more than anything was that he hadn't shopped around and seriously £5.69 for P&P for a wallet, since when was that reasonable :eek:

    I've deleted my cc from his Amazon account. I'd only set it up so he could download free games or cheap books. He's given me £20 from his stash and I'm not giving him his £10 this week. The annoying thing is when I try to talk to him about it he just tells me to shut up. He can't see that he's paid over the odds for something he really doesn't need.

    Anyway moving away from that annoying subject, I put my feet up for 2 hours this afternoon with a glass of wine and the Bohemian Rhapsody film. Loved it, knew I would as I love most of Queen's songs.

    Well I think we've had 4 seasons in one day here today, started off with snow, then rain, then sun, then wind. One minute the sky was blue the next it was black. Had a trip up to Aldi this morning, pointed out to Mr SA that the three bags of shopping cost less than his flippin' wallet. Also reminded him that I shop around trying to get a good deal and save money because we don't have an endless supply of it.. Falling on deaf ears I think. He was the same before the brain damage, he'd just go out and buy something random we couldn't afford, used to drive me nuts, I'd just get the finances sorted and he'd decimate them. He'll never change.

    Hope everyone has had a good weekend xx

    Via Virgin Movies Beanie £4.99 for 2 days rental.

    We're watching Benidorm from recordings on the TiVo box tonight. Mr SA still doesn't know we're going to the theatre to see it. Not telling him until the day before.

    I've got everything crossed for positive news about my work friend tomorrow.

  • I'm really glad you've deleted your CC from the Amazon account :T. He's very rude to tell you to shut up :mad:.

    I hope also that you get good news from your work friend tomorrow.

    Forgot to say, I found 2 watches of Mr SA's at the back of a cupboard when decluttering this weekend. He was pleased as he'd forgotten about them. Re the wallet saga, he said I've saved you money as the next thing on my list was a watch :eek:

    Honestly I think he's going to make me crack at some point as I don't know how much longer I can put up with this :(

    My kids have grown up but I now have a 54 year old child :(
