Ouch indeed! Hope you get sorted.

who doesn't like a steamer?

She should call ACAS to discuss, extremely unlikely and almost certainly illegal for company to withdraw their payments already made.

One that might be even more 'grateful' Let's be honest they're all grateful when you're paying. Male or female.

Um, he will be buying it. Like I said, I currently earn nothing so Christmas would be a bit on the frugal side if I had to forage in the hedgerows for gifts you might have some money tucked away there?

Ask Mr 2 bears to buy it?

MMMmm so you haven't worked for a couple of yrs and 2b has provided for you......

Edited that for you Thank you!! Always proof read your posts!!

Welcome along bud, live like your dad would have wanted and make him proud! Not just in terms of cars of course. Lots of good people on here. !!

Err NO springs to mind - NO CHANCE IN HELL Well when we got together some 22 + years ago I was always overdrawn had no decent money management whatsoever if I wanted it I bought it if I couldn't afford it I financed it loans, loans and more loans, then bigger loans to pay of the smaller loans and buy something else - Then along she comes of course for the first year or so it was just the start of the relation ship and we did what most new couples do, when we moved in together we got a joint account and both our wages went in to it. She did (still does) all the money management, got me back in the black - yes I had to cut back on some of the toys or at least wait a while for them after a couple of years I would tell her what I wanted she would tell me if I could afford afford it - Worked and still works brilliantly - Can I take my bike test and have a CBR600 ??? - Yes Can I get a CBR900RR Fireblade - YES GSXRK1000 ??? Yes OK A Porsche 911 ? - Yes you get the idea I have a great wife, 2 great Kids a nice house and still have some great AWESOME toys - got the borrowing down to the essentials - House that sort of thing - only buy toys when I can afford them - no financing of toys anymore (or there would be a Lambo on the drive ) Holidays - whats one of them then??? If she want's something she gets it, if I want something I get it - we ask each other but I think that's more out of respect We can afford it or we can't Can I buy seven cars on the trot? yes!

spare set of alloys with winters on FTW!

Smart move! Woman are like mushrooms, keep 'em in the dark and feed them....., oh wait.

Not always a matter of trust though, I mean I trust my Mrs with my life (more than I do myself with it ) But my Mrs is just shocking with money zero, planning or saving ability. Just spend until the months pay is gone end of story. perhaps I'm being harsh, perhaps it's cause she's had f'all so far due to study etc and now she's enjoying it cause she earning decent money. I however need to save some money so need to be a bit more sensible. I guess that's what happens when you're 30 yrs older than your partner

Hello, I thought it was strange this thread popped up. A long, long time ago when the world was rosey and I was naive I believed 100% in joint bank accounts! Fast forward and billions spent on women and I no longer see that as realistic. DO NOT get me wrong I still pay the lions share of most things but I get zip all thanks really, I just think your other half should live in the real world and not have every single thing handed to them on a plate. I have helped my other half (especially when she was at uni) I spent £1ks supporting her (even though I went into debt for the cause). I just think if you give and give you dont really allow them to fully understand the concept of living in the real world finance wise and to create a rod for your own back. Yeah I could have phrased that all a lot better but I'm tired so please dont read too much into it..

I think I'll wait till she upsets me and say she can have it for £6.5k

So I've bought the wrong one, sigh. BALLOCKS!!

Well it's paid for but it's me giving her £5k essentially and she's crap with money and I've worked hard for that. I'd probably discount it massively say £3.5k but it's still me giving her £1.5k!!!!!!!!!!!

So I'm getting mega guilt trip on this (i.e. Mrs really wants to keep the Zed), I would like to give the Mrs the car but I cant justify just giving her £5k worth of motor, so should I get her to take a loan out and give me a % of it, if I dont get anything from her I feel that it delays my dream purchase and doesnt make her appreciate how much I'd be giving her. Does that babble make any sense?

So I bought the elder scrolls and I have to be honest it's not really floating my boat, is there something wrong with me?

Never hold it in, it's bad for you!!!!!!!

Dan vs FOOD!!!

Wicked, I wanted a swift, Mrs no like so not an option, sigh. Sound ballistic!!

Hope the pay compensates!! Welcomes

She's ok I suppose.

Where is he?
