Hi all
Boiling here! Too hot to fly or do anything really but have stripped the main bed incl mattress protector, all currently in wm. DH has emptied the stinky bin and I bleached it out (and the lid). He's also cropped and sorted the best of the photos we took last weekend and I've put some on facebook. Need to send the CDs off that he has done for my mum & sis so will print postage for that.
Have folded tons of washing which needs putting away, DH says he will fly when I'm at church tomorrow...there's a film of black gritty dust everywhere, from living on main road and having windows open I guess!
Was meant to be going to babyfair with another local MSE'r but she now can't go and I can't be bothered, so spent the money I'd have inevitably spent on 4 nappy wraps on ebay instead and 3 nappies from a forum!

I got a letter this morning from solicitors.. that cheeky f***er... wants ME to pay the court fees.. he doesn't pay a bean towards the children, paid nothing towards DD1's prom, paid nothing towards DD2's school residential, nothing towards DS3's residential, doesn't buy them clothes because I sent some from here for him to have there.. I am absolutely LIVID.. and the worst part is the court date is 13th August so the chances are I won't be able to go and say any of this because they won't let me take the baby... He is a total cretin!!! We are supposed to be at mediation next week so i have added this to my list of complaints... He is just the most dispicable of scumbags.. he doesn't want the children, he doesn't want any kind of responsibility or any accountability for the crap he put us through.. maybe I should have named his numerous !!!!!s on the divorce papers.. there I was making things nice and simple and he behaves like this.. trying to deprive his own children more than he already has.. disgusting piece of scum!
appointment being made for ASAP with the solicitor... hopefully he can fit me in this week otherwise I'm stuffed.. well and truly! Which is of course what the vermin is relying on!.. I'll have the court hearing moved if I have to!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
