    I don't know what suddenly made me feel so angry - I know he isn't deliberately taking me for a ride,

    He is.

    You're not the only person he'd jump through all the hoops, and bareface lie-to in order to keep his pennies to himself - are you?

    As I said before - you are Hotel Keren, and nothing is going to change until he learns to love people more than he loves his wallet.

    Or until you decide that enough is enough, and find someone who deserves you. I'm sure the South Coast is just bustling with guys who'd treat you right and love you for all you are.

    Sorry.

    Well I've had a great day - smile on my face and all that! Pay rise and a bonus too! Woo hoo!!

    Now, just what credit card can I use the bonus for? (That doesn't sound so good as "What can I blow it on?")
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    You're right. I'd love to go and work in NZ but not sure if it'll be possible, my earnings are completely rubbish.

    http://www.visabureau.com/newzealand/working-holiday-visa.aspx

    for young people's (18-30) holiday visas to Australia and New Zealand you don't need qualifications or high earning points etc, it's a reciprocal scheme with the UK - ever wondered why so many Ozzies working in London bars... Go do a min. wage job in NZ before tying yourself to new build flat with a 25 year mortgage (and the job you will then not be able to jack in because the mortgage is screaming feed me)- there's loads of time to buy beige cushions in the future but you will never get the chance (or be eligible) again to bum around somewhere carefree.....

    Sorry Keren,
    You asked ages ago didn't you...
    It's called 'Krusteaz' (which perhaps explains why it's not sold in the UK normally!lol) We got it at Costco and can pick you some up if you'd like the next time we go?

    Well now you come to mention it :D

    No, but I am guilty of using the tumble dryer as an iron and even worse exploiting a lovely lady next door when something really needs doing :o
