Would you really want to put a price on your wife?

Yes, about £20k at the current market rate for a hit, so I understand

Cheaper to have her bumped off than to pay her the wedge

£30K !!!!

I'm sure the government will see it as an untaxed benefit, and charge as a BIK.

Yes, that's why Darling is set to pull back on that front. His missus want more pin money to pay the milkman and window cleaner. They don't come cheap.

The cost is split over two payments.

First to cover the cost of her flight.

Second to cover the cost of her brothers not chopping you up with a bic razor, payable in weekly installments for the foreseeable future.

More likely that what she says when faced with the prospect of going to work all day, then having to do the household stuff afterwards because hubby is working away from home.

Would you really want to put a price on your wife? I'd rather pitch in and do my fair share.

sounds perfectly fair and reasonable to me.

Of course everything goes in the common pot anyway, after all she'd get very upset if I kept all of my income to myself
