    I know what you mean about feeling a bit sad about the mortgage just being your responsibility now, but think how much worse you'd have felt if you couldn't have taken the mortgage on by yourself ... need to see the positive in the situation hun ;) Its not what you would have wanted but your hard work and effort over the alst few years has meant you're in a good enough position to manage it by yourself, which is a huge achievement :T So well done you for getting this far with it and no doubt you are formulating mighty plans to push ahead with the rest of ehats left of the mortgage, and we're all behind you all the way hun :)

    Oh I know, benben - that's why it is mixed emotions, because along with the sadness and hurt that goes with a break up, there is the satisfaction that the last few years have been worth it financially, and I can afford to do this by myself, whereas 2 or 3 years ago, it would have been an impossible task.

    I know that as time goes by, I will feel more of that positive feeling than the negative, but as I'm still only 6 weeks or so into this separation lark, it is 50/50 still :o

    On a brighter note, cleared £7.14 from a matched bet....am happy with that :)

    Hi Hypno

    You may well laugh at this but I am actually nervous about starting to share my mortgage with OH when he moves in after we get married. It's weird but I have managed to buy this place on my own with some help from my parents to get on the ladder, and I have managed to deal with my debt on my own. Not sure how I am going to manage sharing financial goals!

    Well done on the weight loss and don't beat yourself up too much about the books. Enjoy them and then see if you can some of the money back by sellling them on Amaz0n.

    Surfbabe - I'll be thinking of you on Sunday - it's my first time too. I'm dreading it.

    Six weeks in .... its nothing at all, is it :( of course the negatives still loom large. Shock being one of them still.

    Libraries tho ... its odd, isn't it - I can still get fines, sometimes, even tho I'm online with my library. I used to buy loads of books because the sort of books I bought weren't bought by libraries - imprints of a couple of hundred about karmic astrology or some such thing, printed in Glastonbury :) But there is still something about Pickle's thread - I also used to buy books as leisure shopping, sort of - I'd see a book title I loved, and buy it, and expect the book to ooze through the bindings into my brain, just like osmosis :rotfl:

    I'm glad you managed to get the matched bet in.

    Take care, Hypno, I can see that you're doing the best you can in looking after yourself - the skiing Wednesday, seeing friends; there are pieces of your life that can keep going and you can build out from there.

    I've got a fair few of those. Usually the "classics". But I buy them in the gilt hardback - so at least they look pretty...

    Don't be silly Z, our H is hardcore ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
