    Sorry for the rant:o ...I did say the word bum though;)
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Not unreasonable at all Louise. If the debt is a joint one, he should take his fair share of responsibility and cut back just as much as you have.

    Don't apologise for the rant and v funny you said 'bum'! tee hee!

    Hey Louise, I dont know really.. No. It can get out of control the old online gambling I suppose. And with you having paid off your CC debt and feeling good, it may be easier than one thinks to spiral out of control again. It may be worth sticking your foot out of the bed to stop the room from spinning if you get my drift

    All the CC debt we just cleared was joint and so is the additional borrowing on the mortgage. He thinks that the amount he spends in minimal but I notice if he does have a win he just puts it straight back on.

    He has never and I dont suppose ever will listen to me and just throws the control freak line at me.

    He is as stubborn as a mule.

    Off to work soon with the thought that what I am earning will jsut cover the bingo losses....can you tell im pi55ed off!

    Pania - it's a good way of an extra job to clear debts/have a second income. It depends on how much motivation you have to sit at the PC for x hours at a time when you know you could be out somewhere else or , well, sitting on DFW nattering!!

    PM me if you've got any questions as I don't think we're supposed to be too 'open' ;)

    Thanks Keren, I spend most of my day on DFW when i'm meant to be doing my usual work so AQA would have no chance!!:rotfl: I'll drop you a PM later regarding it. Thanks. :D
    debt @05/11/11 £12210.63!! slowly chipping away!!
