    All sorted at my brother-in-laws. Basically I have continued paying the life insurance since ex left,and if he was to get a critical illness mypolicy would pay him 70K :eek: :eek: Thats a damn good reason to sort it out!! He's not having a penny from me :mad: :mad: I will start getting quotes tonight and get that sorted. Also I don't have a will which again would mean he may get ds and my money if I die :mad: :mad: Another thing to get sorted asap :rolleyes: :rolleyes: The pension stuff is all okay, I need to send an email to get some calculations, but all is looking fine there so far :D

    I've done tescos too, with the notw voucher it came to 25.12 :beer: and that included 5 boxes of jaffa cakes as I hadn't quite spent 30.00 and they were the nearest thing to my checkout ;) :rotfl:

    Okay time for lunch then will try and match my free bet :D

  • I was thinking about wills the other night - was worrying that if anything happened to me my 2 will end up with him, the thought of that is just awful! My eldest started secondary on Fri...it's now Sun afternoon and he's not rung to see how she got on, but have seen on facebook he was still up partying at 4am! So he's obviously fit+well, just being a complete t**ser. Added to the fact that he's not paying me a penny for 2 kids and I get quite irate at the thought of him!!!
    So I might look into the will bit...I have no life insurance, nothing.
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    I would test them if I were you - you would hate to find that they were "off" when you get to lunchtime tomorrow :confused:

    Hello all, haven't been here for a couple of days, been having problems with the ex :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Ayway, think its all just about sorted now. Its a long storym andprobably one best not explained on here in case he lurks :mad: , but the upshot of it is I am 170.00 short on the backdated payments and my new monthly maintenance figure could be decreasing by about 50.00 a month. But that 50.00 will probably be going into a saving fund for ds ;)

    Its not a problem for me financially as the extra 88 a month I was supposed to be getting was going into the mortgage pot anyway, so it just means I will need to find an extra 50.00 a month and the 170.00 missing from the backdated payments, to keep me on track for the 50K by xmas challenge :o:D I don't intend to fail my challenge because of a bloody ex so its business as usual and I need to start planning and making some more money :beer: :D:D
