Overdraft

Today I am not 'Loyal Supportive Wife'.

Today I am 'Wife Who Wishes To Chop Bollocks Off Husband'.

Something was Indeed Afoot.


"I need £400" He says.

"What?" I say, closely followed by "Why?"

"For court costs on Friday" he says.

Yes, not only is tomorrow the day I can't pay the rent, it is also the day of The Husband's bankruptcy hearing - which, it appears, is going to cost £400 to declare to the world that we have no money. Nada. Not a bean.

The Husband has known about this for months and yet he waits until two days before the money is required to mention it. I resist the temptation to remark that if he went out and got a full-time job this situation would be easier to manage. Just.

Could someone please remind me what husbands are for exactly?

Glad to see you've come back to the blog world, but sorry that things are so stressful.

I remember trying to find out about bankruptcy...except it seemed like we couldn't afford to go bankrupt at the time..crazy world!

Definitely for provoking incidents -- thanks for making me laugh with your comment on my blog. And here's fervently hoping that 400 pounds materializes somehow.

It is the sex and babies.

Also for retaining frustration levels, it seems!

I filed for bankruptcy a couple years ago, on my birthday of all dang days.

What urks me is that I had to come up with a BUNCH of cash to even file. I kept thinking, if I had that kind of money to begin with then I wouldn't need to freakin' file!!!
