..too much stash???

stuff, then there has to be a budget for it. Same as if I do a charity run,
I get sponsors to pay for the hire of a hall and printing etc, so when you
gave postage or whatever that was the same as a sponsor, but if the sponsor
stops, then the main money has to be looked at to work out if it is a viable
thing to do, or if there is a way around it all.......luckily for Nora,
there was a way around it....so much per week or month is allowed for...and
when Nora said that Tom gives her an allowance she meant that it comes out
of his share of the spending money....not hers....Tom allowed for this above
anything he may wish to buy for himself. Doesn't mean he would have to ask
Nora for more if he ran out, or visa versa. They both of them leave enough
in the main pot to cover the extra expenses of her charity runs..
Still regardless of who earns what. Your retort to Nora's first message was
that you couldn't understand why she had to ''ask'' for money.....she
doesn't! They do things together, including working out the bills, and now
her extra yarn/postage etc she needs for continuing to do this .. is allowed
for.....like any bill would be, and they never break into the bills....When
she said Tom gave her an allowance, what she meant was he suggested
it...What you personally gave her is immaterial now, if you were still
continuing to do it, maybe her DH wouldn't have suggested they make an
allowance for it. Although everything has got dearer and dearer as time has
gone on, so maybe he still would have. I still think it was good of him to
become involved in what she does and to give the go ahead for so much of
their money to be used on these charities. At least she isn't just taking
it out, spending it on others all the time, and not thinking about what is
left. This is being done together..by the pair of them as a couple. So no
way is this a case of what is mine is mine and I take what I want...the
money belongs to both of them, so they are both involved in how it is spent.

That's the *bad* thing about ng's and lists, and email, Cher... I gotta
tell you, your original post in response *felt* very much like chiding
or berating an unruly child!
Glad we've got it straighted out!
Hugs,
Noreen
