    My dh used to be good looking after the money side of things, but then started to forget to take things he had spent money on from the balance on the account so would work on grounds we had £50 more than we actually did!

    My DH used to smoke, and when he did, he got so bad that he once spent my kids' dinner money on ciggies :mad:

    Aren't smokers incredibly selfish sometimes :rolleyes:

    We have the same problem with dad, thing is if the account is low he'll do it anyway and go O/D :mad: £30 later he'll do it again a month!

    from a bloke point of view, sounds like denial. calmly ask him whether the mates from the pub will be there to pay the mortgage if the stuff hits the fan.....money goes so much further when you're not subsidising the government
    For what I've done...I start again...And whatever pain may come ...Today this ends... I'm forgiving what I've done -AF since June 2007

    You're right Bismark! He constantly carps on about the government taxing this that and everything, fails to see he is lining their pockets!! Although have often pointed this out and ends up in a row! He reckons it's not easy giving up....that right sherlock!!! I've done it and know it's not easy but it's not as if he hasn't got any support!!!
