Jeeez this thread is hard to keep up with!

Tat! Glad your DP is doing *something* at least. Better than nothing.

~Heavenly~, DF is the same. I dont' think I have ever received a birthday present on my birthday. It's always a couple of days before. He can't keep a surprise to save himself :P
If DF complains about me taking all his money he's got a problem! My pay goes on the house repayments and reno saving, and his money is general "living" money. When he ever has a dig at me spending "his" money I just tell him to move out of my house There comes a time when you have to realise that being a team is going to get your further that splitting everything, I think.

Gothmum, sorry to hear about your mothers day, mine wasn't to flash either if it makes you feel any better. I slept most of it away and had a mini tantrum when DF woke me up to go to his parents for dinner for mothers day.... speaking of family's getting along and different up bringings, I could probably write a novel!
Sounds like your DH is being a bit of a b*tch too! Must be his man rags haha, i swear they get them more often than we do!
