Do you ever feel like you get paid, you get your highlights done (after 6 months!) ...

...you do a big shop, you pay for the service of dh's economic little scooter, your ds' birthday present .....

.... and then that's that?

I'm not really moaning - dh was out of work for a couple of years during which time we were £200 under before we'd even bought food - God alone knows how we survived that. These days there is money left over - wine will be drunk, nobody will starve.

But it doesn't half fly out of the acount.

Agree danebury. One minute it goes in, then it's carved up accordingly and hey presto, limping until the next payday...
