I ALWAYS sorted out the money as far as the house was concerned. She has a fear of 'ringing them up' as she jokingly said - she hates calling up any major companies - banks, insurance, tax office, anything important.

I would always have to organise the bills, took the meter readings, sorted out direct debit payments, spoke to the mortgage provider when necessary, gave her tax advice, looked at energy bills and switched if needed, added up what we spent each month then told her what she owed.

Anything 'important' or major relating to finance was my job.

This is why I'm thinking pushing this back to her. It's HER choice so she should lead on it.

OK I'll suggest this weekend then. I don't want to meet in the week.
I will email over the cost summary later today.

Sound good?


I really don't think I could afford to take on the house myself. The other thing is that it's *nowhere* near my work or family - 40-45miles - so whilst I keep it, I'll be living on my own like she is.
Not that bothersome for me, but I'll be a way from family/friends.
