    Sorry the pics are a bit rubbish - I had to take a pic of my PC screen because the site wouldn't let me save the images and then Photobucket wouldn't let me resize the earring pic... This is a couple of the kind of thing I'm looking at...

    ETA - err -not sure what happened there but when I first put the earrings pic in it was HUGE????? <confused>

    okay whats your opinion
    I sold B's old cot and got a lot of money for it (with the intension of using it to buy christmas present and some winter boots for her), ex is still waiting for his JSA and Is living off fresh air. So do you think I should give him some money from it so that he can buy her some presents for christmas, would he be offended? Im obviously having to support and pay for everything at the moment because he's giving me no money but equally as he initially paid out for it I feel like he should maybe get a bit of it

    Opinions?

    Sally it is tough to be hard, but I think you have to think of you and B. He is not financially supporting you at the moment and I think I am right in saying that you were the one working at your marriage both financially and morally. If you want to buy something for B from daddy with the money to ease your conscience I would agree with that, but not giving him some of the money because he will continue to expect you to help him out when he asks. My opinion and I do not mean to offend you or anyone else. Sorry Billie xx PS Been there and done it that's all and even after 10 years my ex has no scruples and would expect me to bail him out if he thought he stood a chance if he asked........

  • Claire, good to hear you're taking it easy.

    Luc, loving the work.

    Macca, sorry to hear about your sister, I'm sure she'll be home soon.

    Sal, it's a tough one. I've got to second Billie.

    Hello Pooky, I hope the shower gets fixed asap.

    I'm revising at my desk. Naughty I know, but hey!

    Lots of love,

    LMC x
