If your pet name for your mistress is hurt, then it is probably okay.

I like to be paid when I get fscked

[NotAllThere]

Do they do joint accounts with mistresses?

no they pay me

[AtW]

Which ones £10K light, does she know about that one yet?

Hers most likely, so yes...

[AtW]

don't you have both?

Individual for each of us and a series of joint accounts for various purposes.

Do they do joint accounts with mistresses?

[Whorty]

Never had a joint account, never felt the need. We transfer money between us as needed and that's it really.

Yup, same here for current accounts. We do have shared savings accounts, but that is to make it simple to transfer cash as and when.

[Bacchus]

We have one joint account for bills that we both put a fixed amount into every month.

It's worked well enough for us these past 30 years...

Did just that* with the ex Mrs Bacchus.

It worked very well until we separated. I moved to Reading and got burgled (this is normal for Reading I believe), I chased the burglar out of the house (well, I backed away skilfully as he chased me which amounts to the same thing). He had left a pile of laptops and cards on a coffee table so I thought I'd got away with it until the ex Mrs B phoned up and asked why I'd taken a grand out of the joint account...


*ETA, actually we had the account for paying bills, I think I was the only one who actually put anything in...

The wife and I have 9 accounts between us. 1 in her name, 8 in mine. She knows about 2 of them.

The 2 being the ones you use to invest in sledges and betting on election results?

Me and the missus have 1 account.

But seeing as we are civilised human beings who don't feel the need to duck other people it works well.

I keep my joints under the sex toys. Mrs BP will never look there.

Well, I guess he can look at it this way:-

Would he prefer to be hurt and suspicious and personally well off?

Or unhurt and personally skint?
