It's the weekend and as usual, I'm in the dog house.
This time how-ever I think it might be quite a bit more serious than usual.
The last two months I have been buying small toys for myself to perk me up. In total (including today's purchase of a NEC TFT) I've spent £1000 in the last two months.....behind my other halves back.
We are currently living at my mothers place saving for a mortgage and have almost got enough for a deposit. However, after my rant last night and the discovery of my spending, that deposit has been split in two equal halfs and my other half hasn't spoken to me. It's almost as if I've cheated on them or something!
I know I've been bad....but it's only MONEY, not worth this kind of argument surely??
I can't see anyway to make ammends. We both have fairly high income jobs. I get 23k a year and my other half earns 31k, so money really shouldn't be an issue. We live at my mother's for next to nowt and only have to worry about food and travel costs. We've been here for 2 years, cleared all our debts and saved almost 6k. Surely a little bit of pampering can't hurt?
I'm now sitting here while they are in work wondering what is going to happen next. Are they on the verge of walking out? If so how do I feel? Are they over reacting or do I not see the bigger picture?
I can't enjoy my nice new TFT now
