I have just been paid today, and my balance is already -£7 
as a good few bills have been paid today also
this will be the longest month ever. it's my mum's 60th also Fuck. this is grim.
I still have to pay council tax, gas and electric and car. Plus petrol and food of course.
not sure why I'm even posting this. anyone else in the same boat?
I work part time, approx 30hrs per week, in a half decent job with a fair bit of responsibility, which I fairly enjoy but the pay is dismal. just in from a 12 hour shift, missing ds like mad, and wondering why I even bother when I can barely pay my bills anyway. (I would not and could not ever stop working in a million years,just seems so bloody pointless sometimes). dp, who is step dad to my ds earns a bit more than me (£25k) but when we split the bills, I only pay £60 less 
we take turns buying food but he will also usually tend to do a lot more of the food shopping when he knows I have less spare money than he does. sigh
we are both pretty laid back and have yet to sit down and open a joint bank account etc (we only moved in together in the summer) and decide a fair amount to pay each for every bill, but as I now have absolutely no disposable income whatsoever that is going to have to change.
what do most couples do in this situation when one earns a fair bit more/less than the other partner. make sure each partner has a similar amount of disposable income after all bills? I cannot live like this!
