    DH spends about £200 a month on fuel :( Luckily I now only spend about £35, if we hadn't moved to our new town I think my petrol spend would have been getting close to £300!!! :eek:

    Glad to hear you're settled in to your sister's place Woo, and that you feel like you've made the right decision. Have you made a permanent ending, or are you taking some time/space to think things over? Hope all the underlying emotional stuff isn't upsetting you too much, and give yourself some slack over the debt-busting. As long as you know you're going to get back to overpayments, extending DFD by a month or two isn't the end of the world (at least that's what i'm telling myself after our horrifically expensive week! :o)

    We are 100% through, he's starting to get nasty about stuff but I am trying to remember this is because he is hurting.

    The dog is our only tie now, and I still go back and walk him every morning, whilst he's at work. It's the weekends that are the issue, but he won't let me pay a dog walker grr.

    I'm sure it will work itself out over time.

    sorry to hear he's being a prat!

    yes the petrol seems such a waste, sometimes i feel that i am paying to have my job, if you know what i mean. I live in a semi rural area so unless i want to go on two or three buses which would take a good couple of hours i have to drive. It's not a choice, i have to have a job. so it bugs me that the govt keep hiking up the taxes on the pretence that they want to make people greener and drive less, but where will they get their funds from if we don't pay PAYE etc?
    Sorry i'll get off my soap box now.

    Sad to hear it's over for good Woo, but you seem very positive about it, so it must have been the right decision for you :) Can your dog not stay with you at your sister's?

    Nope, it's a two bed apartment so he would be stuck in all day with no access to a garden etc. Also she has guinea pigs and he would eat them lol!

    Moooooooooorning! Damn you can talk alot LOL - I go away for a week and come back to about 30 pages to catch up on! I skipped most, but you've caught me up already on what's going on.

    I almost had a heart attack looking at the petrol prices! I get the train to work (about £220 a month I think) so don't really notice the petrol costs, it's stupid, and only going to get higher :(
