    Just caught up with everything Smamfer-what a nightmare about the x and her CSA allowance etc- she sounds like a right vindictive mare- karma will catch up with her. Is there anyway of keeping a record of that your OH wants visitation and constantly requests visitation?

    Life with me is much the same- considering a second job- is your one visiting the elderly during the day?

    Love Miss Shoes xx

    Aww hugs thank you for popping in guys and taking the time to give me your kind words,

    Im ok about things because i have to be and with everything else going on ie lack of funds i cant be doing with anything else worrying me tbh. No matter what facts i put in front of him he still felt the guilt because it was him that came away from the marital home, they had a joint equity loan which he also pays half for as she expects this my point being yes the loan was in their name but the house is solely hers and he left her with everything so they didnt go without. Ah well i just told him that i wont pupt up with it month after month.

    Had another call from a couple of jobs i went for today, it was from the agency advertising them jobs sound ok just customer advisors and admin stuff which i could just leave there rather than bring it home mentally kind of thing. They want me to go in on monday and register blah de blah. Also got a nice big application form to fill in about another one... why oh why are cv's just not good enough anymore:confused:

    Its gone midnight ive just finished work now about to do the payment a days from the pennies we have and do some more job hunting

    Love to all xx

    Hi missy hope your ok .. the job i have gone for is with the company called Medico if its of any use to you, they often advertising for people. The rate is about £6.30 an hour plus 45p for every visit you do. And yes its visiting people morning lunch evening etc in their own homes. You can state how many hours you want and work a back to back shift with someone else and you work every other weekend. They do have a website xx

    Right positive day positive day positive day!

    Im having a " do day to day" trying to get on top of things and keep everything in order so today i have..

    Rang CSA to ask where my money is lol...:rotfl:( y aknow if i had a pound every time i had asked this i would be debt free )
    Anyway he sighed heavily and said that they had spoken to the ex and he promised to have paid it by 10th April.....( checkes diary hmmm:rolleyes: could have sworn its 17th today lol) anyway he clearly hasn't so ole matey with the oh so lush irish accent is calling him back again threatening legal action....

    Rang a finance company i have a direct debit with for a BT debt.. wasn't so much a debt but sadly i had to move out of a house sooner than expected due to landlord selling it and id entered into an 18 month contract with BT for my bb... as i was moving back in with my folks couldnt take it so ended up still oweing it. Anyway my balance is £231. 60 ..... but guess what............. for one day only they will accept £134.35 to clear it ... lovely how it takes US to call them rather than them showing willing and informing us.. Sadly i dont have this but im hoping when i do they will offer me a lower payment again to clear it.

    Bf had a call from the CSA today saying as they havent set up his dd in time would he be so kind to put the money into her bank account:mad: and he did! No comment on this one lol.

    Also rang the Tax Credit people with my final figures for the year. They are clearly stating that i now have NO OVERPAYMENT and i have it in writing so will frame that after 5 years of them saying i do and that there is a chance they might owe me something.. Sadly in the meantime i will be receiving £20 a week less till they sort it.

    So im working for the next 5 mins, bf is out playing snooker im going to Tesco this afternoon as mil told me they are looking for people and its only 10 mins from where i live so fingers crossed something comes of it!

    No doubt ill be back later but hey ho must go xxx

    Morning all! xx

    Things are ok me and bf had a few fall outs but think he has come to realisation that lifes not the rosy picture he thinks at times and id o a hell of a lot more than he realises.... ie at 8am cleaning windows 20 mins before doing school run even tho i had a 19 hour day yesterday :rolleyes:

    Anyway nothing else has changed still job hunting for england and still hearing hardly anything back, I don't think its a case of not qualified just feel that these days there is SOOOOO many people going for the same jobs possibly living closer, having more exprience etc.. so on i trundle

    had a night mare recently with Vodaphone

    Afternoon Smamfer. So know how you feel on the job front. Plucked up courage to ring the people up about the one I had an interview for and they told me they hadn't made a decision. Hopefully still in the running! Any more thoughts regarding the novel writing?

    The phone came lol.... finally.. just gonna take me 3 weeks to workout how to use the buggar now!

    I have looked into the novel writing L but to be honest i really could do with some extra money coming in regularly if that makes sense rather than " hoping " people like what you do and buy it

    but ill keep trudging on

    Hi all!

    Quick update as just starting work for the evening,

    relationship ok... bf decided he had been a moody so n so and clicked out of it for the time being so we getton on great.

    Money... well thats that chat over with :rotfl: lol

    Csa... lol... i text the ex last night and no reply. so i jogged his memory this evening and he text me back saying " i know im in arrears and im sorry ( not a penny for 10 yrs kind of arrears lol )... but they have added £400 onto the total sum and i want to know why so ive been in touch with them and waiting on an assessment."..( cheeky twit)

    Heard back from Medico yesterday which was the job where you visit elderly people in their own home,, they are only just looking at references so had to confirm an address there.,, sadly tho this is another job where i will need a CRB and as you may or may not have read my previous experience of waiting for these are awful.

    Also got a call from another company i applied to for an office job and i have an interview on Thursday @ 1.30pm!

    Also applied for about 10 more so fingers crossed something comes of them!

    Right back to work for me love to all xx
