To Want More Money?

SWMBO · 05/12/2009 22:11

Hello

my DH is a lawyer and earns quite a bit. we have separate bank accounts and he pays for all the bills, food etc. and everything DS and DD need.
he gives me £750 per month for me to pamper myself and to buy my own things as i don't work.
but i'm finding that this isn't enough, a few spa visits and shopping trips and it all goes.

AIBU to want more? DH says I'm spoilt but I honestly think I need maybe an extra £500 a month. its no like DH can't afford it...

just laughing to myself as DS1 and I read "Billy Goat Gruff" tonight at bedtime and were talking about the ugly troll who everyone hated and how it drowned in the river.

Ooooo fledtoscotland, chop her up!!!!

MeltedTreeChocolates · 05/12/2009 22:49

LetThereBeRock · 05/12/2009 22:50

I wonder if we have a visitor from the Housepricecrash forum.

fledtoscotland · 05/12/2009 22:51

she's not worth it.

At least I am happy with my life. pity some people have too much to appreciate what they have.

MavisEnderby · 05/12/2009 22:51

SWMBO if you get certain horrid conditions your only option MAY BE an NHS hospital,so tread softly softly,lol.

MeltedTreeChocolates · 05/12/2009 22:52

SWMBA - if your life isn't fulfilling you enough I think you need to take something new up. Clearly this isn't the best place to do that. It wont give you any long term satisfaction.

MikeStand · 05/12/2009 22:52

SWMBO - boring and inadequate. Do you feel puffed up in self importance? Those that feel comfortable don't need to post income. Joy to all happy with what they have got.

swmbo i feel she needs our empathy.she puts out for only £750month. when he spends more on starbucks

clearly Starbucks head lasts linger

fledtoscotland · 05/12/2009 22:58

SWMBO your private health insurance doesn't cover 999 ambulances, A&E care or ICU. Lets hope you aren't seriously ill as a knee replacement wont stand you in good stead.

Wanting to better yourself is admirable. being greedy isnt

PixieOnaChristmasTree · 05/12/2009 22:59

Seriously. Why do we even bother?

SWMBO - you're either:

A very nasty person who doesn't really that you're upsetting a lot of people who are actually trying to make a nice Christmas for their family on what little they have

or

A troll who has nothing better to do on a Saturday night than try to annoy people.

Either way, you must be very sad and lonely to be posting on here.

scottishmummy · 05/12/2009 23:00

LOL what a mental pun,knee replacement wont stand in good stead

was it intentional

MavisEnderby · 05/12/2009 23:00

SWMBO,I think this has slightly misfired.Obv taking the piss but nonetheless it is slightly poor taste given that a lot of people may be struggling on benefits or like own family be "Working poor" or recently have been made redundant.A more lighthearted troll is in order,really.

LetThereBeRock · 05/12/2009 23:01

I'm becoming more convinced by the minute that this is a Housepricescrash forum member. This is precisely the sort of thing they said they were going to troll about. It's a very poor attempt.

i'm sorry but poor people can't moan at me.

if they tried harder they would actually be able to give their DCs better christmases.

i've never heard of house crash or whatever it was you said

LetThereBeRock · 05/12/2009 23:02

So fucking a lawyer counts as trying hard?
