Woohoo, my order is done, there was only one item out of stock that I wanted, £131 in total but am sure some will go back (never looks quite the same as in the pictures), but am pleased with that, at least can pay for it in installments

So today the csa call me back to say they have arranged a new payment schedule and he is going to pay me next month including the arrears for this month .... so I said well, you only drew up a new schedule 2 weeks ago, whats wrong with that one? ... they say ... .well he didn't pay, so we've done a new one??? Oh thats okay then, so when he doesn't pay again in August we draw up another one do we?? :mad: :mad: :mad: So I'm waiting to see what will happen if I go to tescos and tell them I'll pay for my food next month, when I go to the petrol garage and tell them I'll pay in full in August ..being done on monday, ds has a birthday next week ... god forbid as a single parent I may need his money to help support his child :mad: :mad: :mad: Grrr, life doesn't work like that so why should numpty fathers get away with it??? WASTE OF SPACE !!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Thanks Elidee

I phoned back the csa cos I wasn't happy with it all and they've explained it a bit clearer, although I'm still less than happy Basically they sent me the letter a couple of weeks ago saying he was supposed to pay on 12th, then they have decided to check he's paying the right amount (hasn't been calculated for 2 years) and he is paying a while £3 too much :cool: So becuase they've changed the details of the case the computer automatically makes the next payment into the next month :mad: So therefore I get paid in August, which apparently is Julys money in arrears and a bit of money from June?? It would have been nice if someone could have bothered to tell me that the payments had changed, the csa are possibly worse than tax credits if thats even possible :cool:

So, onwards and upwards yet again ... just off to try and get ds ready for bed and then I will sit down once again and try and tackle the budgets

Oh I am so glad that I don't have to go through the CSA.

Hope you have a good weekend!

Okay so assuming my ex is going to pay this months money in August then it will be £102 instead of the £156 I was expecting. So thats another £54 off of this months non-existant budget which means I basically have about £20 left for the next 2 weeks, which includes ds birthday
Okay, will definitely go through all this properly in the morning once and for all

Morning all, the sun is shining here and looking lovely We're doing housework etc today and then going out with friends this afternoon and obviously spending as little money as possible in the process

Benben sorry numpty ex is causing you stress over money, could you appeal to his mum and dad to get him to see sense? They surely must 'get it' that you need money to help bring up your son! and they might be able to talk sense into him?

Unfortunately because of everything thats going on I have been advised to have no contact with any of them Although according to what the csa said last night then he isn't supposed to pay anything this month anyway, just pay me in August :cool:
