Hmm, you could always turn the heating off, remove all of the lightbulbs put a candle in each room and take off the plug from the tv. Then there's always turning of the shower so he has to take a cold bath before his dinner of value beans (cold) and dry bread. he might get the hint then???

Toto - your idea of a life policy is an excellent one. I'm going to suggest it. With him turning 50 in October, there are plenty he can get and make his daughter the sole beneficiary. It won't mean he can buy into my place, but I think it is a good way to provide for her.

Ah, that explains it. He's from the wrong side of the Pennines.

Nothing good going on here at all now..... just had to phone into work to say that I will be late in..... DS had had sickness and the big D all morning, and didn't eat anything at all yesterday, so just waiting for the surgery to open again so I can make an appt with the duty Dr..... don't like my little one being ill at all!
Had tp ick him up from Nursery on Monday as he had a temp, now this, so not only is my baby ill but I will loose a day's pay too

He is now naturally defensive Jinky. When he got divorced about 12 years ago, he was well and truly cleared out financially and now hates sharing anything, although he was a bit better this holiday - in the past he has moaned if he pays for a round where his beer is 2 euros and my sangria is 4!. He has nothing to hide (well, not now I know his motives!) but I have likened his overall attitude to 'stuff' a few times to the seagulls on Finding Nemo

I have his CC details to buy 1 lot of shopping each month and I spend £70. It's not quite half of what I buy, but I only buy stuff that we use for dinner and loo roll and toiletries etc as he is never here for lunch and rarely has breakfast.

His house is cold and I guess we have kind of 'gravitated' to him being here all the time as everything is here that we need.

Ah well, it will all come out in the wash I guess.......

Apologies to the lovely friend who has just called me and i've gone blah, blah, blah, blah BLAH down the phone to for 36 minutes

I know the divorce and stuff must have had an effect on him...but twelve years is a long time...and you are not his ex:cool:
I would seriously sit him down and discuss his contributions to your household.
He should be paying more
How long have you been together?( hope you dont mind me asking)

*hugs* Sarah, hope little one is okay.

You could always do the research for him... through quidco of course;)
