    Great news about the flat, Munchki, just goes to show persistance pays. You'll furnish the house in time, it's so good to have your own place (as I know) that you'll manage without some things for a time. As for the mechanic ... what BS reason did he come up with for justifying you paying all the bills while he keeps his money for (his) fun? Think he's passed his sell-by date ...

    short version of story - not for much longer

    long version of story and the reason why - I think far too long, but bottom line, something he said and insisted on and that just is NOT going to happen. He effectively said now that I am working that I could have the rent, ctax, food, utils etc all come out of my bank account by DD and that he would save his money then for rallies, holiday etc. Also stated that as his son pays around £200 a month board that he would put that money away as well. I mean really, do I have MUG written on my forehead?!?

    Cheek of it.... men, eh! Well done on the flat and job Munchki... a bit of stability will help to brighten your mood!

    more advice. how do you choose an estate agent??? we have had them up, one discounted an not that good but 2 decent ones

    I would go with both the better ones and let them know that you are enlisting both. Make sure you barter their fees right down.... before you tell them you are going with both. If you sign up with two you will find that they have competition to sell your house and they will work that much harder!

    Saucy - don't worry about OH, he will survive...even the most stupid animal (and I;m not insinuating that your OH is stupid ) will never starve!

    Perhaps mean, but I have just had to bide my time, but the feeling is pretty mutual, this I have no doubt of!

    Sounds like 'well I'm doing you a favour so now it's time to return it' ... hmmm my guess is he saw someone vulnerable and thought he could take advantage ... our munchki's too smart for you, grease monkey ... oh, and you can solve two of your other problems by running the ex over with the car ... hehe
