    What would be a fair amount for her to give you as your pin money?

          Send her out to work and hire a Polish cleaner. She can pay for the cleaner out of her wages.

          Sorted.

            Working on the site,
            From Morning 'till night,
            That's livin' alright,
            That's livin' alright,


            Working all day,
            For a packet of pay,
            And send a little back to the wife,

            Still you keep a little here,
            Just to keep you in beer,
            That's livin alright.

            Yeah you play the game,
            Then it's Auf Wiedersehen,
            That's livin alright.

              Great minds etc.... It would be best if it was paid straight into a bank account he had no access to.

                You should both give an equal amount, or if you want to make it even fairer, each give a percentage of your earnings so that each contributes in accordance with their ability.
                It's Deja-vu all over again!

                    And if you don't get it right now, you'll only be hiding it from the CSA like the rest of this sorry lot here.
