Sorry to hear about your OH.I think it's a good idea to leave him sulking, maybe he'll think it over and realise his behaviour isn't appropriate.
It sounds like the private healthcare was a good investment, and the £100 excess is worth your peace of mind. I really should look into it, although I did look a few years' ago and for me and my husband it was £90 per month (he's 16 years older than me). I can't afford that right now but will look into it once my salary increases (hopefully around June time!).0 -
Harsh but I'm very much inclined to agree. It's a shame that you have to go privately and pay but I can totally understand that it's worth it to you. I hope you get an appointment very soon and that it's nothing to worry about.Let him sulk, any chance you can quietly fit a lock and seal him in there until he begins to act like an adultHave adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.0 -

I had to have a wee chat with my DS about pulling his weight & helping out & not leaving everything to his GF.
It was not how he was brought up.

Sorry not been about. I cannot wait to see Hospital about my neck. Work is really busy and came home to a burst pipe. Temporarily fixed until Friday, electricity bill came in and my Mum paid it before I got to see it (one less thing to worry about she said). OH texted me yesterday while I was at work asking to borrow yet more money. Said he had direct debits to come out, told him that was his problem I had all the house bills to pay. Ended up giving him £50 and told him no more. His lastest hair brained scheme (nothing to do with the hair restorer!) he is spending money he doesn't have on a load of stuff he thinks will make him money! He seems to forget that I remember previous hobbies where he studies things to the finest detail and buys all the stuff but then barely does anything with it (French polishing, electronics repair etc etc).
I need to update my totals but I will do that later need to get ready for work.

So your mum helps you out paying a bill & then you have to bail him out.

I know beanielou, it's awful. I would have more money if he would hurry up and finish the house so I can get it on the market. At the moment I am trying to pay 2 lots of bills, nursery fees and my debt. He pays one small bill (sub £20 which I have paid this month) that is part of the household, the rest is his day to spending and debt.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

Blimey, that is so so not fair.
When do you hope to get the house on the market?
