This is getting interesting.
September = that 40 quid was when the day of Sarah geronimo's concert, I invited my friend from Wales to come to London so I can go with her, so we have the whole saturday to walk about, apart from that he paid for our tickets which was 60 quid each. (he paid for my friend as well) so that's £120
Some says they hold the money, Hmmm my husband says we have to have a joint account, I dont like to, hahaha. i can join his account though.
Aside from the shopping money I just ask him if I need something then we get everything on line. But I dont shop a lot, been here in London in and out for 3 years but I still convert and still end up on saying, " I can buy that in the Phil's next Holiday".( Hubby, lets me go home every 6 months.)
he puts money on my debit card every monday for food, and he sends £300 to my daughter everymonth, he pay for my oyster top up whenever we use the tube. we eat out every weekend, he pays for everything and cant ask for more.
I only pay monthly bus pass to go to work.
i know he spends a lot for us, so every time I go for holiday in the Phils, I dont ask money, I use my savings from my work, to keep my ego, but he pays for tickets and top up my account towards the end of my holiday.
I use my own money But my husband always gives me what i want even if i have my own LOL
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
unfortunately, nobody giving me money for my shopping, holidays, paying the bills etc its all coming from my hardwork...but i can do what i want and nobody tells me where i am going to spend my money.
i am really hoping that when i have my own family someday i can get over it by relying to my future husband's money that's why i am saving as much as i can now while i am single so i have my own money for myself and for my family incase of emergencies. Bec I want to be a fulltime housewife for a bit
It's a difficult thing for me, wanting to give my girlfriend money and needing to save up to visit/marry her. She has never asked for money and always refused when I offer. Recently I have been more pushy and said at least let me pay for your internet chat time (£6 p/mth)
It's a little silly, her brother has just sold one of his pigs for 2500 pesos to buy some medicine, that's only £30! Still, if she continually refuses, there's nothing I can do.
In the uk, I would guess £100 p/wk.
whatdoes this mean that I am entitled to "pocket money"and not give it all to my wife she never told me this
:Yesterday was history.Tomorrow is a mystery.Today is a gift.This is why it is called"The present!"
all things are possible!
Wow! That is too much! You don't need to moan.
That was the amount(300£)/month I moaned joking with my hubby b4 but no luck.
If my husband really gives me what I want, I can surely travel to Pinas 4 times a year!!!
I pay my holidays, hubby gave me 200£ from my last holiday and I treasuresd it. My Nanay gave me her bankbook for my budget in case I'll be out of budget. I have seen from her account almost all of the money I have sent to her. but I spent only 10% of it. I was so shy.
Vbkelly= he is not the real dad, he is the step dad. Yes I am lucky.
I dont really moan, I was just curious. and its so hard to live here in central london, we are only 10 mins walk away from oxford street, and everyday i pass by Regents street and see shops full of people. Or maybe this is just all stress from work.
aahhh.. so Primark is like Divisoria then... oooooo... i love it!!! anyway, at the end of the day, it wouldn't matter if you wear branded stuff.. it all boils down to how you carry the clothes.. and if you look, talk and walk with class and knows how to be fashionable with just anything, then you will do well... a woman with class can always carry any clothes whether if it's a Gucci suit or a copycat. There are loads of people I know who buy expensive stuff but has never covered their rough manners.. funny eh..
I know the Wife ships back the primark Clothes and Hand bags and what not to Phill and its lapped up. Why because it looks trendy etc. The materials are also usually quite thin so not to bad in Phill as well
It may of been a 3 quid handbag (or whatever they cost) but it looks good on their arm so they are happy
Luckily the Wife has learned like I did before her dress well and mix and match and you can look smart with out spending a lot of money.
On the dosh side well we are equal human beings so the money we both earn is both of ours. If one of us spends it on stuff which is a waste the other would feel let down.
Why would you want someone to give you money and feel good about it? Most in my family and friends around me although fully support the benefits system would never want to use that unless its an emgency.
I know many in Phil who we could help out with small sums by UK standards but they would never take a direct hand out and would want to pay us back in some shape or form.
For me its far better to spend your own hard earned money in primark than someone elses in Harrods but maybe its me
Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
