    Sal - I really would go down the CSA route as soon as possible if he's going to be unrelible with the money. At least then you know what you'll get and when you'll get it and if he misses a payment they'll sort it. It's not fair for you or B to have to go without whilst he gets his backside into gear.

    Ok quick calculation of money that ex owes me, need to double check my bank statements of what I lent him but running total by the end of the month £1506 :eek:

    that would clear my last debt and give me a few hundred to put towards a cheap holiday
    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 ....
    Finally Debt Free...

    What Pooky said. Things might be tight for him but he should be giving you something, or more importantly giving B something.

    I don't normally follow horoscopes at all but this made me laugh

    Capricorns hate the idea of being in debt and when they find themselves struggling, financially, they will do their best to hide it. Capricorns feel they are being judged by the homes they live in, the cars they drive, the holidays they take and this puts a lot of pressure on them, financially. They might borrow on one credit card or bank account to pay off another until their debts spiral out of control but once they've worked out a definite financial plan, they will stick to it.

    Sal..quick catch up..

    CSA now!!! A leopard doesn't change its spots....the longer this goes on the more he owes and the more difficult it will be to get it off him. Do NOT put your happiness ahead of him. YOU HEAR ME! you deserve a holiday

    When I saw his facebook picture I only saw a nice man. No one thinks me and OH look like we go together....and he wears the weirdest things when we go out. Our real friends accept him for his weird quirkiness....good job really!
