No I didn't Mr S4 did!


Moral of the story - joint accounts are a bad idea, especially when your other half is liable to do something like that.


Definitely, no matter how much I trusted my other half; I'd still never get a joint account; mainly due to that fact that my mum and dad had a joint account years ago, however my prick-of-a-dad took a loan out on the account behind my mums back (forging my mum's signature) and then left it for her to pay off by herself when he got ill. She only found out about the loan when bailiffs were on the door!

Oh I am wrong then, I believe you should have joint accounts. A marriage is based on trust, financially as well as sexually. However, having said that we do have two joint accounts, one I use, which is the "main" account, and then a Wife account which has her wages paid into it and out of which comes her petrol and other running costs ( fags & beer) We find this way we can both budget the finances better. If your partner was the sort who would wind up debts without you knowing I think really you should leave them and find yourself a sexy accountant, like me !

Well I was thinking they are a bad idea purely because they make it harder to keep control of your finances - and to be honest, someone who would do that would find a way to shaft you whatever type of account you had. That's not a banker problem,it's a wanker problem.

Apparently my dad has split up with his other half rather acrimoniously. This has resulted in her changing the locks and me having to find a place to live pretty quick.

Annoying me today is the fact I had to clear up my sons decapitated rabbit from the lawn............ Mr Fox had huffed and puffed and torn his house down in the night, then proceeded to rip his head off. The other rabbit (called chicken confusingly!) was found hiding behind the cage, shitting herself. Have had to break the news to my son, but have told him that it 'ran away' to spare the more graphic details. Looks like the stinking rabbit that's left, will end up in the conservatory now!

Awww bless him. I hope your son's ok honey. I also hope you got all the bits, if it ran away it is hardly likely to leave an ear behind!

It was hastily buried, and the blood hosed away! Just hoping my son doesn't ask too many questions regarding how the 'rabbit' managed to have super rabbit strength and bend all the bars!

How far would you take the truth though Foots? If I told my kids the fox got it I would then have had to lie and say "and took it away" or they would want to see it, so why not just leave them in their innocence a little longer? I'm assuming Ladbroke's son isn't that old. I would tell my kids the truth now they're old enough to accept it.

The story has been sorted now. The fox broke the cage open, and JJ ran away. Decapitation might be a bit much for a 6 year old to deal with. Could of been Sunday lunch though..............
