Another husband post!

We've got a cheque due out any day now for nursery for £440, grocery shopping to do and I was going to pay my dad for the train tickets for our summer holiday. I've got £577 in my account but that is only there because we were…

Husband gone, what now?
I am a regular poster who has created this new ID as some of my family members come on here and don’t know what is happening. As the post title states, my husband has moved out and I don’t know what to do. We haven’t fallen out, argued or been nasty to one another, and I am hoping there is some way back from the mess we…

Childcare vouchers admin fee
Our son goes to nursery and we pay with childcare vouchers. My wife's employer recently changed childcare voucher companies and the nursery now want to charge us a £20 administration fee for this.

Deed of Separation
My husband has just declared what he wants from our divorce in terms of a financial settlement. I have spoken to an emergency solicitor today, (basically because my soon to be ex has demanded money up front today with a balance when I complete on my flat purchase).

Borrowed designer clothes without realising now they are ruined.
I have a question - I hope this is the right place to put it. I visited a friend on the other side of the country for a weekend a year ago. We are both on low incomes. We went for a walk one afternoon just before I was due to go back and I ended up very muddy. I put my clothes in a plastic bag to wash when I got home and…

Separation Agreement in Scotland - watertight?
Hi All, I signed a Separation Agreement last year (signed 30th July 2010) and there is a clause in there which I would like to get varied or removed. Basically, it was in relation to the sale price of the house. When the agreement was originally drawn up, the property market was still relatively ok in our area but that has…

Boy's birthday party - age 7. As cheap as possible!
Hello, I need some ideas for my eldest child's birthday at the end of the month. He wanted to go 10 pin bowling but there isn't one near enough (I wouldn't like to drive my children 15 miles to attend a party so don't want to ask that of other parents).

Help for a teenager who has started cutting?
My teenager has told me in confidence about his friend's cutting his arm. I promised him that I wouldn't talk to anyone at all about this secret that he was going to tell me (well, I asked him after I twigged when I overheard a comment) and it's really important to my son that I don't break his confidence. It's selfish of…
