    Whatever you decide, you know we're here for you.

    Wonder if it works if you discuss going to win the lottery...? :confused:;)


    Its funny you say that Squizz, I have just been looking at some houses imagining me and Bea there, being able to run around in the 1 acre garden, stream running along the bottom :rotfl: Just been dreaming (positive thinking) of winning the lottery because lets face it im not likely to come into 500k otherwise :D

    I will win, I will win (oh better go and buy a ticket hadn't I)
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

    Thanks Luc :j I knew it was but had to double check, the 25% CT discount is giving me jip now. If someone paying £1200 for a year full household. If they get 25% off for living alone that gives a yearly bill of £900 so £75 monthly however if you add 25% to £900 you get £1125 :o So thats not right is it? Or is it because 25% of £900 is less than 25% of £1200 :o Grrr I hate maths so much :mad: :rotfl:

    To gross back up to the full 100% bill you do 900 x 100/75=1200
    26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%
    28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%

    Right - I'm allowed to post now. Made myself pack up 2 boxes of returns first.

    Maz - I was lucky in the fact that my youngest was 16 when I divorced. However, we had been unhappy for years and only recently have I realised how unhappy that made my girls - to the extent that DD" had a kettle for her bedroom when she was 13 so that she didn't have to come down at night.

    It is a hard decision and,of course. only you can make it. Ask yourself 'is it going to get any better' and,if not, 'do I want to live like this any longer'. I think you have probably already done that but it still takes corage to move on.

    Whatever you decide you will be well supported on here.

    That would be great if you don't mind:D I know he won't take much to start with but I would like him to be getting fresh stuff rather than pre made where possible.

    Oh Maz, I'm sorry you've got such a hard decision to make. Whatever happens you wont be judged by me. I'm sure we'll all support you in any way we can whatever happens. And Erin seemed to me mature and sensible enough to cope with change, although I only met her for a few hours.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
