With money, we have a kind of hybrid system created when we both earned roughly the same amount. We'd both put the same amount of money into the joint account, which would then pay for mortgage, bills, council tax, food, petrol (as family expense as it ferries DP and DS around), insurance, etc. I carried on paying pet insurance and car expenses, while DP picked up a couple of other things.
We still have the JA, but only DP pays into it, ATM.
Re tax and accounts, mine are mainly a work of fiction, but I'd declare my earnings and take off a proportion of what I paid into the JA for mortgage, utilities, etc as 'expenses'. I have yet to be publicly flogged for my actions, so shall continue in this vein!
I can't remember where we're meeting tomorrow. Or when. Is it the pizza place on Trafalgar Square?
In headache news, it's still here. So not a hangover. Not helped by attending DS's school Easter service. Couldn't see a blasted thing, DS didn't know I was there, and lots of crying children, so my friend and I snuck off and had a cuppa at mine.
Kitten news. They are increasingly mental. This morning, as I came down the stairs Jerry was at the top of the coat rack. He then explored DS's breakfast drink, and knocked it over. They shove all papers on to the floor, knock over cereal boxes, and dig out blueberries from the punnet to play with. When I'm cooking, they sit on the hob and stare into the pan. And when I'm eating they use me as a playground. However, they continue to be cute As F.
Rudy - all OK? Will miss you... And all other crepeys otherwise engaged.
