To think OH has tried to pull a fast one...??

[Rhinosaurus]

On Saturday I gave my OH £10 to buy two bottles of wine to take to my friend's house on Saturday night, as he was doing the weekly shop whilst I was a taxi driver was taking the kids to various locations.

When he got home he said he has bought us a dine in meal for £10 to have on Monday (as we both have a really busy day at work, and have no kids at home for tea that night!).

Tonight, I went to get the dine in meal out, and asked him where the wine was (which was included in the meal deal) and he said I had taken it to my friends as he had bought the dine in meal (with wine) and then just bought an extra bottle.

Meaning that he had only bought one bottle of £4.99 cheap plonk wine with my tenner, bought a dine in for two inc wine out of our joint account and gave me the wine from it as part of my two bottles!!!

Of course, when I asked him where it was and he said I had taken it on Saturday, he did the usual getting in a huff thing and asking me if I am accusing him of fiddling me out of a fiver. Basically, YES I am!!!! and was looking forward to a glass of wine tonight

I have left it for the moment, but am not very happy you don't mess with the wine order Should I leave the bastard tightwad?

this is why seperate accounts would drive me nuts

I know it's a lighthearted rant, but I couldn't live like that - his money/my money, faffing over a bottle of wine.... just couldn't.

I've never had, or wanted seperate bank accounts. This proves why!!
Maybe he will surprise you with two next time, one he has bought with his own money

This makes me feel tired and a bit sad

Where did the extra fiver go?

If he pocketed it, he pulled a fast one.

If he used the meal deal to save joint account money, then he is not a swindler.

If he pocketed it, then he is a tea leaf.

Even with a joint account this is a bit weird. Where did the other fiver go?

Honestly? It's a fiver, take a chill pill and get a joint bank account

Go get a bottle of 5 quid plonk,jesus life is too short to get rattled over little stuff like this.It really is.

Even better,send him to get a 10 quid bottle,share it and enjoy your child free evening.

We don't have a joint account but I couldn't be arsing about over a fiver. Kill him,it's the only solution.

It's not about the money or having separate money though, is it? He GAVE AWAY WINE THAT WAS RIGHTFULLY YOURS. Bastard

I can't however stand any form of tightness,does he squeak when he walks?!

Maybe he thought he was using his initiative....

Maybe he didn't think you were that desperate for some wine.

So the first bottle was bought from your tenner the second from the joint acc so you should have a fiver change. That would annoy me not the amount but the principle he should have bought 2 bottles from your money and left the 3rd for you to share with your meal deal or gave you the fiver back.

And just had a look, the desserts he has chosen are rubbish

pah

Does he think you have a problem with the ole vino ?

Wine on a Monday night ? OooOOOhhhh ...

We have a joint account, which we pay several hundred a month each into which covers mortgage, all bills and £100/week shop.

What's left in our own accounts is for our own frivolous purchases, saving, going out etc.

I had never really considered it a strange way of doing things and I had been looking forward to my wine all day after some difficult meetings

Out in the sticks so to go and buy one involves 30 minute drive so am sticking to my lovely glass of orange squash now.

Aw man, he's chosen crappy dessert options too?

LTB.

God what a fuss!

YABU!
