    So plzed things are going right at last, with everything you have been through, and you have come out the other side, you deserve every piece of good luck in the world.

    Re the bed, if you had a small child bed, they grow out of them so quick, in 1 or 2 yrs you'd need another, what I did with dd we got her a metal frame (from Netto) and a matress from Argos, (£50.00), she had that for 18mths, then we I got her a better bed, but sold the metal one for £40.00, so didint loose to much. xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Hi Sea

    Just catching up. At least you seem to be progressing forwards, roll on the day he leaves and you have the house and the kids to yourself - hopefully he is gone or will be today or tomorrow at the latest. Then hip hip hurray you can start afresh without that idiot lousing up your life.

    Hope you have a fantastic Christmas and en even better New Year.

    Take care.

    hi all!!!

    Well, he's moving out today - he's happy that he'll have his money and realises I can't trick him over anything (?!?!) so will go.

    I'm in a strange place - feeling sad and strange really - 8 years ending today. But onwards and upwards. Need to get a grip of finances - running through my fingers like water at the moment and just can't afford that! :)

    Thanks for all the support & help. You are all wonderful.

    Sea xxxx

    Sad though it is that things didn't work out, you have the knowledge that you tried to be reasonable, and tried to make things work.

    Look forward now - enjoy Christmas, and the new life that you and the children can have. OK there will be tough times, but hey, you can cope with that! The positives will far outweigh the negatives.

    Happy Christmas xxx
