    PLEASE PUT YOUR TARGET AFDs IN A BOLD RED FONT and good luck!
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Hi Maman, yes I know you're right. At worst 4 years, at best a year and a half. This is what I was explainng to OH last night. At the end of the day, the CSA aren't going to change the assessment so he's just got to get used to the idea. We have a life to live ourselves and I don't want to be constantly feeling bitter about his ex and her family. Its up to us to make the best of it.:) I'm actually feeling quite positive now. Just have to get that feeling to rub off on OH!!:rotfl:

    I'm no expert but might they give him time to pay the arrears that they've caused by back-dating the assessment? It seems, considering marru's situaton that they're a law unto themselves.

    Don't worry about Piglet going to your mum, I'm sure she really loves having him.

    Lovely sunny day here too.

  • Oh bother of all botherasions! I have no resolve tonight after a hell of a day :mad: I don't normally have to work tomorrow, but have to go back in to cover for someone.

    It doesn't seem worth not having an AF for just one glass of red, but boy oh boy I'm going to enjoy it!

    Sorry. But I'm still on target. I'll be AF tomorrow. DH is going out, so I'll get to chill out infront of my favourite tv programmes. That'll relax me :D
    Need to start again :o

  • Dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit!!!!:mad:

    DH rarely drinks but decided to help himself to a beer tonight while watching the footie! I'm so weak willed that I joined him! Only had one but really cross with myself, it wasn't worth losing my AF day.

    Ok....deep breath....I will remember how cross I'm feeling with myself right now and use it to help me refrain next time! Going to have to really clamp down for the sake of my target!

    Kick kick kick kick myself!!!

    Have a good nights kip and a greet Thursday folks!
