Hi all. My problem is bingo. I have a loving husband and 2 children. But I don't have any friends so get lonely especially in the evenings. My problem is that I spend far to much when there. Every time I go and don't win I tell myself that I'm not going again for a month or if I go i will not spend as much but i haven't been able to stop. I always think I'm sure I'll win next time. I end up really struggling for money by the end of the month. I'm 42 and have no savings at all .
Hi claire
sarah from chat ?. You have no debt which is great. Could you open a joint savings account end of next month and you and your hubby both have to sign to get the money out.
Up to you if you tell hubby but I would definitely ban yourself from hall. Take away temptation. Is your hubby your best mate? Are you lonely as hubby is at work in evening or do you have different interests? Sarah ?
Hi Sarah.
We have a joint account and each have our own accounts too. I never touch his money.
My husband and I have been together for 23 years and are both very happy still. We just both have different interests. We both work during the day. When we have a day off together we spend it together. It's just in the evenings that we tend to do our separate things. Especially after a hard day at work x
Hi claire
that makes sense. My man has his interests too. I think while you are a bit skint and weather permitting a dog walk is a great idea. Do you get on with your husbands friends partners or wives? Would they be up for a meal out or a good afternoon tea can’t be beat on a day off x
I get on really well with my husbands friends ,sounds corney but we are more like family than just friends.
We all go out together. But then husband goes out alone with them. I don't ever go out without hubby as no one to go with x
That sounds so sad. I'm not a horrible person its just I haven't been lucky enough to find my own close friends
It’s not sad and good friends are hard to find. I have a couple of good friends but they don’t know I am a gf. I don’t see a lot of them as time in this Modern world is limited. Do any of the friends wife do an activity you fancy?
aquafit or Zumba or maybe something more chilled like a quiz or a craft hobby. Think about an evening class as you will meet like minded people.
you Will find something I am sure.
