Im ok Maz
You n Erin can come down anytime if u need to get away for a bit.
Hows you today?
Relieved its out in the open?
List of things you will neeed so can get on the case.

yep, it's alright... like the calm before the storm i guess....

have meeting with council housing officer tomorrow to see if i can fast track in some way for council house.

i don't want to shell out 75% of my income on rent for private let if i don't have to. and i have a lot of stuff to take furtinure wise although will be a right load of appliances i need to find.... Freecycle here we come!!

I will have to forego my new carpet, no matter how proud of it i am.... i am not fighting him re the existing house cause i honestly don't want to get all argy bargy about it to be honest.......

and to compound matters, mum has been offered some driving work, kids to and from school which she used to do before.... so another blow to my childcare dillemma! but the work will be great for her, she needs the money and the focus of getting up each day.



mum's heating is great.. well looks great, we dunno how to work it though!

i just think what's the point being so close to debt free, and then ending up back to square one moneywise cause i'm living somewhere i can't afford.

might as well sit it out for a month or so (hopefully sooner) and see if i can get a council place.

I agree with you about the money/house thing Maz..you are lucky that they must have quite a short list, here you can be on the list for 1-2 years before getting anywhere.

Is he likely to offer to move out? I mean could he not go and stay with friends/mother? Or rent privately himself?

I agree too Maz, if you can stick it out then do so......

Peeing down here now

Sad to say I think Big B will not do anything in the least to help or to put Erin first which at the end of the day he should.

Just been out to listen to the free band and it was sooo hot I had to come back in...

Maz - I pay half my income on rent and bills and its a real killer...

As you say job will be great for your mum but pants for you
Are u having the cats?

the only draw back with sticking it out is that basically it feels like business as usual really... as apathy, non communication and no sex were the norm anyway! so it feels like nothing has changed....

But the wheels will be in motion on the outside so that's good....

Sal - Weybiza is still on for now.... as flights are all paid for. However i won't send B&B any more money until then so would only lose £50 deposit if i cancel it... would feel bad for them but hey ho.

Am going to get Erin's passport off today...... so that is money i can't afford....but i'll maybe withdraw it from her savings if i need to cover it later in the month.

am due to pay rent at current place today, but not doing it til i get a timescale from housing....

i don't know what waiting lists are like here TBH, i know last time i had keys to somewhere, it was about a month.... but i am going in all wailing and gnashing of teeth this time, will even see my GP if i have to... don't want to make light of anyones illness but i can do stressed or depressed if it'll help my case.
