Make Me a Widow PLEASE!

As some of you know, last year my hubs decided to take control of my life and removed the paying of our bills from me. It's been a long road back, but in the past few months, I've managed to regain that responsibility, as heaven knows HE can't do it properly! Twice over the past year, our car has been under threat of repossession. Today makes three. Here's how it goes/went: The hubs opened a bank account in his own name last year that I didn't have access to. Fair dinkum. BUT, he was supposed to make the car payment out of that account every month. Apparently he didn't. Because of the way the account was set up, for the last three months I've been transferring to his account the amount needed for the car company to take their automatic payment from. Everything was getting back on track and I'd stopped worrying about the car.......... Until today. A nice looking man in a pickup, knocks on my door and tells me he's from the car company and wants the car...........where is it? I tell him my hubs has it at work, and ask why he wants it. "The payments are three months overdue" he tells me. WHAT? I nearly scream. They can't be.......but they are. Seems the hubs has been dipping into that account for other reasons and the car payment hasn't been getting made. Now, I can put money in that account, but I can't touch it otherwise. So I know it's not my fault but it's certainly now my problem! I tell the man that the hubs won't be home for weeks due to the nature of his job, but I assure him that I will make up the entire amount on the 15th of the month "Not good enough" he says. He then proceeds to go to his truck and open the back and drag out a huge chain with a lockhook on it..... I asked him what he thought he was doing and he tells me "I'm taking your truck until you return the car" I tell him he can't do that. He tells me "This is xxxxx, I can do whatever I want". That's when I lost it............I went running down my walkway to the street in my stocking feet through the snow and got right up in his face. Out came the trusty bic lighter and, flick, flick of the flame under his nose! I told him to back off and get the hell out of my town, that I'd call the car company right away and make my own arrangements. He told me "Lady, YOU back off or I'll make your husband a widower with a simple snap of your neck!" I smiled at him, pulled down the collar of my shirt and said "Oh, please, do me a favor and put me out of my misery!" Then I moved a step closer to him, looked up and batted my eyelashes at him. He nearly fell over getting away from me yelling "You're crazy!" Yep. I'm crazy. Totally certifiable........ Needless to say, he got back in his truck and spun out of town as fast as he could. I have now spoken to the car company and they are willing to wait for payment in full on the 15th. Tonight I will 'speak' to my husband.......... So how's your day going? LOL
