    I think as well Sal that there is a distinction between men who are ar$£s (who may well make dreadful husbands), and men who are truly evil (who would tear a child away from a loving and wonderful Mother without a thought for either of their feelings). From what you have said, he is the former rather than the latter.

    Stu was VERY angry at first, he ranted and raved, he threatened, he yelled, he called me all sorts, he told me he would take the kids, then he said he didn't want to ever see the kids again. It terrified me at the time, but I knew even then that it was all hot air and anger, and he wouldn't really do anything to hurt us. No-one can maintain that level of anger for any length of time, and once things are settled from a practical point of view, emotions settle a little too.

  • I really dont see how you can make money with eBay! I under-estimated the postage (never EVER again!) and then you have the paypal fees, insertions fees, eBay fees. !!!!!!

    Thats the trouble with ebay. When i first started using ebay about 8 years ago you could sell stuff and the fee's were about 1-2% of the final value...which was fine and acceptable. They are totally screwing over people these days!
