    I think I've been more than reasonable and I just want what ds is legally entitled to :cool:

    I think you have been too, and it's luck that BB has such an organised and savvy mother or you could have been in real trouble by now. Do what you have to - it's not like you will be wrecking your friendship...

    Well there we go, another phonecall to the csa, another pointless waste of time :mad: :mad: They have spoken to him today and he's told them he'll pay the arrears next week when he gets paid, so they can't do any more until they see if he does or not. How many more chances does he get?? This is absolutely ridiculous :mad: :mad: They can't do the detachment of earnings thing as he has changed employer so they have to start from scratch again with that?? Don't understand why, my understanding of it was they had sent him a letter telling him that unless he paid his arrears in full within 7 days they would contact his empoyer to have the maintenance deducted at source. But as he made a payment (less than 40% of the amount he owes) then that seems to be okay?? Can you guys guess I'm livid yet again?? I'm actually in tears, I am so so so wick of all this, its so unfair, he's ruined my summer, its on my mind 24/7 and I have had enough. He phoned ds tonight and was telling him all about a trip to London he has arranged for next time he goes there, am sure he's trying to rub my nose in it ... so, its smirnoff ice all round tonight, the diet has once again not got going today and I'm fed up beyond belief, sorry guys :(:(:(

    I'm determined he's not going to spoil the few days we have left of our holiday any more than he already has :cool:

    So, I'm enjoying some vodka, have just made £11 on a games offer and have had an email from a guy I'd been chatting to on pof who seemed to have gone missing in action, but just when I could do with it he has turned up again :D Fate is a funny old thing ;) Onwards and upwards, blips happen and I just need to get better at dealing with them. Its not about the money, it will just go in the mortgage pot anyway when I get it, its the principle of it, the stress of the whole situation, just the uncertainty and the hassle that I really don't need and don't deserve :mad:

On the way back from there the Red Arrows flew over which made ds's day :T

    Morning all, I'm feeling a bit better this morning, sun is shining and its gonna be a good day I've decided :)

    I've already done a coupleof qualifying bets which should finally get me through a big wr I've been doing for the last ten days or so. Will be nice to get this one finished.

    Todays plan involves a little housework (its stayed fairly tidy this week!), going over to mums to clean the guinea pigs out, a trip up to the forest with ds's kite and then anything else that takes our fancy :D Positive, positive, positive, thats what I'm gonna be today ;)

    I forgot to mention I have also done a survey which takes me over the £50 payout level :jI will need to wait for them to be credited to my account and then I can apply for a payout, I won't add it to the pot until I receive it but that will come in handy at some point :D
