Haven't posted on NL in ages...but couldn't resist this topic...

Been married for three years...but lived in separate countries for more than two years. Now that we live together, it's almost like the real marriage itself just started...

We have individual accounts, as well as a joint one for projects where we both make monthly contributions. We also have a separate account for the kids where we make monthly contributions as well. This account is for their university education (started making these contributions before they were born). She also has another personal account for her savings.

Even though we have separate individual accounts, we consider it the same pool of money. Every month I send enough to just cover household expenses like feeding, baby food, diapers, diesel, fuel etc to her account. She usually covers any additional expenses from her own account.

And oh, I'm the excel nut who tries to ensure every debit from my individual account is covered in spreadsheets . I'm not stingy, but I just try to track expenses. My last payslip of the year usually has a total sum of remunerations received for that year, and in the past I've always wondered where all the money disappeared to . She doesn't bother with tracking her expenses the way I do, but we occasionally review the spreadsheets together so she has a picture of the status of the accounts. And I don't track the expenses from her own account as I know she's not a spendthrift...

Before I got married, a few colleagues had always told me of the blessings that come with getting a good wife. I was never a forward-thinking dude until I got married. And now I can say I've been so blessed these past three years than in any other time in my life.

Open to learning from other married folks about how they handle their finances (I've learnt one or two things already!)

Nice! Well-written too

Rooney makes it three  

Lovely team goal  

Goal at last! Welbeck  

Just started mine last month at the Warwick Business School via distance learning, very eye-opening so far. The major challenge right now is having to learn and study alone, no one to discuss with . There's an online discussion group, but so far haven't tried it yet.

TCD:
This is soo funny. Someone sits in his bedroom And concocts tales by moonlight without any evidence, comes to NL And posts it And educated grown men just sit back And lap it all up. Asking for "more insight" just because of their ethnic hatred.

I don't know which is funnier, that this poster is omnipresent And is somewhat privy to all D̶̲̥̅̊ backroom dealings of D̶̲̥̅̊ "Nothern aristocrats" And we should take his word for it OR his claim that Sanusi's Vice is "Homosexuality". Chai, i Can't stop laughing ooo .lmao

Did you even bother reading the entire thread?

Better put ur reading glasses on

[quote author= jamalah]sule lamido is a full blooded fulani man who still speaks the language fluently. contrast him with buhari who once went to a world fulani conference i think in senegal some few years back and had to make his address in english. he is a fulani man that has lost his heritage. but you will still be surprised that the fulani still retain their tribalistic ways that demean the hausa. several of my friends have told me that buhari's trust starts with you being a fulani man. for instance if you make a call to his home phone if you cant speak fulani you get a very rough reception. buba is a fulani name so his very close confidant engr buba galadima is also one.
sule lamidos vice is homosexuality. this is is a common knowledge in kano you can ask any body.[/quote]

How can you score 2 goals in 24 minutes and keep it till 90 against Man U? Let's see how West Ham will pull this off.

Good prophecy

Goal Rooney

Don't think I've seen Rooney, Berbatov, and Hernandez all in one game before.

I've got four of his HBO shows, and even tho I've watched them repeatedly, I never get tired of them

@Ranosky,

Fact is, heartbreaks are a part of life (I ve got a few stories too), but that doesn't mean we should conclude that love doesn't exist, that you shouldn't love and trust anymore. .

When you get heartbroken, you mourn about it; then you get back up and dust yourself up.

Keep an open mind, learn from your mistakes, expect the worst, but hope for the best.

Don't project the wrath and frustrations of your previous relationship onto the next one.

A good woman makes it all worthwhile.

I bet you in a few years you'll come back to NL all mushy about how unbelievably wonderful love is and how u must have been an a$$ back then to allow a few bad experiences to cloud your senses. .
