    Now I'm an effing b!tch for 'blackmailing' him into helping me tidy the flat. All I'm saying is he has to wait until the flat's tidy because that's my first priority, he doesn't even have a deadline for the essay!

    Since it doesn't actually fit into any of our current challenges, I just thought I'd post here and say we've just paid £350 extra to the mortgage :D Not sure how much that cuts off it but it feels good.

    How are you blackmailing him Ames? Swear your ex is a bit of an idiot sometimes.......
    and that might be an understatement.

    I've done all the work I need to do, done the washing, now I'm going to decide what to wear tonight....do I do the sexy secretary or be normal?

    If you get your password wrong three times then it locks you out for two hours, have a cuppa and try again later.

    He says I'm blackmailing him into helping with housework by saying I wont do his essay unless he helps. That's not what I'm saying, I'm saying I can't help him till it's done and so if he wants it done quicker he can help me. I even put writing my essay on hold for 3 days while I helped him with his! But that's cancelled out by him letting me have all day yesterday to do it, how gracious of him!

    He keeps phoning now but I'm just ignoring him.

    Well, your housework is more important than his essay, why can't someone else help him. Have you got the setting so when he rings it's silent so it doesn't disturb you?
