We will get this debt down & the savings up

I can only sympathise. Mr LH used to do similar. Actually he still does occasionally but only for small amounts ( under £10). My sil however went and bought a new car without discussing it with my dd which meant a creit agreement. To say she was upset and angry is an understatement. Just in case you wonder they are ok now and I dont think he will ever do anything like that again.

Thanks for your comments. Yes, he has been paying it from his personal spends. I only found out as I logged into Credit Karma today to check how things look these days. He has never been bothered about that & happy for me to have his log in....obviously never thought I'd actually go in and check. Turns out he bought it in January. 
He has said he regrets it & will pay it off immediately.  Turns out he has over £200 in his personal spends at the moment, so he has plenty and could have saved up for it quickly. We had a LONG discussion about it and he says he hopes I wont keep going on about it now....mmm...well that all depends if he keeps his promise not to do it again.  Think he could see how upset I was.

And @Sun_Addict....he didn't need it, just wanted it!!

Get those hearing aids.  That is a totally different thing.  You wouldn't refuse to pay for a prescription if it was for medication you needed.   I look forward to reading all about them.  March into spring!!!  & hear those birds sing!!!

I agree that the cost should come from personal spends and wholeheartedly agree that hearing aids are not comparable to a camera lens.
sorry you are upset.

Setting aside the recent spending please, please spend money on those hearing aids - they will revolutions your life.

Back again after  few more AWOL days.  Last week was a week I was glad to see the back of.  
The DH incident has been discussed, until he said he wished I'd stop going on about it. I said well what did he expect me to do!!  He has cleared the balance & the Camera lens is in his cupboard....goodness knows when he will use it, he only takes photos when we go out anywhere or on holiday & then they are just uploaded to his computer & left there. Always seems  waste of time to me, and he takes about 10 shots of the same thing!  I have told him, in no uncertain terms, that if I ever find out he has done anything like that behind my back again, that will be an end to us as  couple....he thinks I am joking, but I'm really not.  We have now discussed financial things again, & we do appear to be on the same page again I think.

Also last week the dog barking from next door, which you may remember from last year, has got worse again, & the council are going to install recording equipment to monitor it. . They suggested I call RSPCA if I think the dog is in distress. I told them I had already done that, & they are not interested, even though it sometimes barks for 8 or 9 hours at  time. Even started about 5.45am now, which makes DH very grumpy....although I sometimes don't hear it from the bedroom. 

On the MSE front, I got quite  few yellow/orange stickered items when I went shopping last week, so that helped with last week of budget period. I need to do next weeks meal plan & get shopping list written for next week.   Deciding between a Mr S delivery & pop in L!d!, or pop into both. I hate shopping, but not sure if the amount I need from Mr S will be over the £40 minimum order. 
 Water butt was delivered & installed, & DH is thinking of getting another one to put by the shed, if he can work out where to put it.  STW are coming next Monday to install meter. 

Decluttering is continuing & we went to the tip yesterday with more old bits from shed & garage, and there is still more to go through. 

Hearing aids still not purchased, as I am still in 2 minds as to whether I really need them yet, also not sure I will be able to put them in my ears ok.....and have this phobia about the end coming off & sticking in ear!!!.....silly I know.    Also I just can't bring myself to part with that much money.  Spoke to the audiologist though, & she has agreed to honour the discount for  few weeks, even though it officially ends tomorrow. 

DD popped round yesterday & dropped of  card & flowers, they didn't come in, as DGS's 3 & 4 had  bad colds & DGS1 was home in bed with one.....lol.  There still seems to be  lot of viruses going around. 

This morning we got out and cut  tree back, & I intend to do more gardening stuff this week. Had  bad shoulder/neck for a few days, so didn't want to do too much in one go

Well that's it for now. Enjoy the sunshine

glad to hear you and OH are more or less back on the same financial page.
good work on continued de-cluttering.
