She has some say in what items she has to dust. You see we have what is known as "a relationship". This involves sharing and living together. Also, my self worth isn't bound up in having control over my income, and I won't die a sad lonely man.
As for your status at the time of death...jury is still out on that one, bud.
Forget the wife for an evening and try a strip club. Should inject some much needed testosterone, methinks.

3) The concept of a relationship is that each party contributes in the way that suits the relationship best. Saying that the money is mine and I'll spend it on whatever I want is a fairly sure fire way to ensure you lose half of it in the divorce courts...
But each to their own.

As Mr N is a permie I don't think I'll be getting a similarly expensive prezzie for my 40th this year.
