    Laydeez -register your opinion here

    and no man - hating please. That's MF's job


    nearly 20 years ago I moved in with mrs EO and we split all the common bills in half. just running costs.
    house insurance
    food
    gas and lekky
    ground rent
    council tax
    water
    TV licence
    sky rental
    phone

    and it came to £5200 or £100 per week. So I coughed up 60 pw. The idea being that she was struggling, eventually inflation would catch up, then she would be carrying me for a few years, then we would review the numbers to make it fair once again.

    that time has now arrived.
    so what do you reckon ? will I get my @rse burned ?

        And FFS £5200 is like spare change dude. You need a meeting for deciding your share?

          Are you thick or what ? Don't you know that I have been studying law for the past two years ?
          I am more aware of rights, obligations and legal matters than you will ever be.
          And Judge judy says that all this stuff should be sorted out on day 1

              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                I see, I thought you were one of us lot

                I think you should pay 20% and let the missus deal with the rest
