Nope...arghhh.....need to do some too. If my op happend in the 13 weeks or so quoted then that takes me til start of May - and everything needs to be done by June, so assuming after the op I might not work for a couple of weeks, then i really need to have some done NOW;)

I don't feel too bad at all thanks Debi - have got the college work out to look through and made a list of books I want to get from the library. Need to collect DD2 from a club and library is on the way so will nip in later.
I had my B12 jab on Friday so wondering if that's one reason why I feel less tired now...hope so:p

Not much else to report...no ebay sales for a while. Tesco shopping was £73...that included a £10 off (for new customers) code - but I was dopey and didn't go thro Quidco for another £10...booooo. Meals are all planned up til next weekend, so will only be a few bits of shopping from now until then....bread, fruit, veg etc.

Must get back to attempting some work:o

They have yes - no set dates for now, I just need to get it done when I can. One assignment is a work based one...which is hard to do obviously when not in work!!

£34.60 arrived from Quidco this morning - have put it in the 'girls club/trip money' account as I have £180 on one trip and £280 on the other to pay by about May. Ex does owe half...his share is £323 altogether but I don't hold out much hope of getting that:mad: This month's maintenance now due....as well as £85 still owing from last month and £90 for girls clubs (his half) - funny how he can afford to pay for a divorce online but not maintenance...argghhhhh he makes me mad:mad::mad:

Going to go into Uni for a little while today, prob later tho as I didn't sleep very well, just couldn't settle;)

He does me too milly, and I don't even know him!! I'm sure you want to try to keep everything as friendly as possible for your girls but isn't there anything you can threaten him with to make him pay up? It make me so angry (on your behalf) that you are being so thrifty and careful and he is being irresponsible and gets away with it!

Hope you coped OK at University today.

Milly could always threaten :wall:to break his leg's maman, this normally works, try not to let him stress you out.

You could present him with a bill for everything that is outstanding.
