Landing clear of detritus... Just a few boxes which will be rammed on DD1's bed first thing and a cupboard to go in the girls room the the rugs can come up.

the hallway just has the bookcase to move which is a night on impossible task.. so neither OH nor I want to do it.. I'll finish my cuppa and we have to get it done.

Question regarding XH... I get all the money for the children.. XH earns the same amount each month as I get for all 9 of us. Obviously he has bills etc as do I, but he doesn't contribute towards the childrens clothing or anything (not that I have asked!) Anyway, DD2 brought home a letter about a week at camp next May.. it is £175 (I paid the full £450 + passport + spending money for DD1 this year) for the 5 days.. should I ask him to contribute? Or should I not be a twit and realise that he will say no and I get the money and I didn't want him to come back usual blah-di-blah?

I am sending in a £20 deposit tomorrow with the letter so she can go.. but the other £155 might prove elusive now I have no more insurance cheques coming in.

I always (although I hyperventilate beforehand but it IS getting easier) ask exOH to contribute for 'extras' for DS and DD.
In fact HE bought DD a guitar last xmas - she is signing up for lessons at school so I shall be asking him to contribute to the cost of those...
For the two of them I get £56.00 a week. Their dinners are £2.50 a day so thats £25.00 a week.
Last week DD had new school shoes (should have been £45.00) and DS had some at a similar cost fairly recently.
And that'sbefore all other costs - I allocate them £40 pcm pocket/phone/extras they 'need' money.
So I would say do ask. If he says no well you know where you are and then YOU make sure the kids KNOW who is paying for the extras

evening everyone
just a quick post as I am off to bed - have been doing other things tonight

sexy will be thinking of you tomorrow and there holding your hand - your being brave going in - but like you said get it over and done with - I too think you should take the time off and get yourself back on your feet - massive (((hugs))) xxxx
soappie just tell them you are the right person for the job and to stop messing about - *get the job* vibes by the lorryload for you

pigpen IMHO he has no responsibilities except for the odd weekends that he has the children so his money is his - so he should def be helping pay for extras like the trip. when you get sorted out with a solicitor and divorce etc - he will probably find he will have to pay more towards their care - a friend who is away from his wife pays maintenance and for all their holidays (which she chooses) and pays for a lot of extra school activities and various lessons (horse riding, music etc) - it was all laid down by the court!

havent had time to do proper catch ups and will not beat myself up over it like I usually do.

I had my first swine flu jag and feel ok so far

Love and hugs to everyone
catch you tomorrow
