Yeah, and its usually the men who pay all the bills anyway!

I have proved to her I can manage my money... whenever I don't have much money on me, I use my Solo card to pay for things if I can, which therefore saves me from taking £10 out of the bank every time... so I have plenty left in the bank. I even buy presents myself for all my family for birthdays and Christmas.. and other times too, sometimes. I don't mind paying for Sky, as originally before I went on to JSA, I said that when we move to Devon if I got a job my pocket money (which was £40 a month) could be stopped and put towards Sky... but as I said I'm getting a bit impatient of waiting to move, and getting more sick of NTL by the minute!

Although you say 5 months will go quickly... it's still a long time and it can drag its heels sometimes!

However a word of advice, don't nag.Us mothers just dig our heels in if our teenage sons nag and we get very stubborn.
Tell me about it! :pp
