...my DH walked out on me and our 3 children on Sunday.:mad:
Sorry to hear that. Have experienced similar and it's not much fun at first.
It will, however, be lots of fun later and I promise you will be glad to be free of him, even though he has done something dreadful to the kids.Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0 -

!!!!!! is wrong with these people?? So sorry and (((hugs))) which won't really help -I've also got some Big Boots if you want them :cool: You and the kids must be stunned. How old are your kids - can they help at all just with their stuff? Have you had a look at https://www.entitledto.co.uk - might help you see what you can claim? Basics re. housework for a bit I'd say

Hugs pjjjx
hope everyone is ok. Anyone heard from LW today, or have I just missed it? Am having a mad day so I may well have.. Told the boss off - and he apologised we like! Went to the dentist, v shiny teeth now. Had my Portuguese lesson. Bought a (new-to-us) wardrobe. Made chicken & leek soup. Supervised homework for 7 yr old DD (I am always in the same room, & gently guide if necessary 
). Am just going to S&S the kitchen and then zzzzzzz
see you all tomorrowWhen people show you who they are, believe them the first time0 -
serena take care and have a lovely time
shelleysue yes i saw CSI and immediately thought she needed us:rotfl: but at least there is unlikely to be any dead bodies under our mess:rotfl:
FrankieM nice to see you - will put you back on the list asap
theonlynuttytart and good to see you too - hope you get rid of the migraine soon
Dippypud sorry but I did giggle but it must have been the final straw (((hugs)))
Mumto2 thats terrible to hear that DD is being bullied - but what a sensible young lady you have brought up - it takes courage to speak out like that - well done to her x
JoJo thats terrible that DD was picked on and lost her card - maybe she will listen to wise Mum now:cool:
xxJoxx huge squishy hugs for you petal - S is a lovely boy and it beggars belief what his dad is like - you have done a great job of bringing him up xx
piggers this time I know you need a (((HUG))) you sound exhausted and fed up - what about your mother acting as referee while you go and helping DD1 and DD2? Did you get in touch about the grant for the hols? I know it wouldnt be a 'break' for you but it would get you away from the house for a few days.
pjjx huge (((hugs))) and bucket loads of strength honey - its a tough time for you - hope the kids are not too traumatized by it - Citizens Advice will help you
Sorry if I havent mentioned you personally today - I am a bit tired at the moment and lots going on in my head.
well done to you all - lots of flying being done unlike here
love, hugs, spoons to all that need them
toots xxPeace will be mine
could do better - must try harder
Live each day as if its your last

PS - hugs to folks with bullied DD/DS's - we've had our fair share but the one that made me cry buckets was school ringing to say DS1 had been involved in bullying another child, apparently he had been burping and blowing it in the other boy's face (they are 12), I was SO disappointed...
It's a bit like armpit f@rts and who can do burps the loudest,
it really IS a blokey thing.
Mine are in their 20s and now and again I catch them vying for who's 'best'.

Mine left on a Monday.. Tuesday I applied online for Income support, housing benefit rejigged the tax credits and Thursday I had my appointment with the benefits dweebs to make sure I wasn't lying.. Wednesday the children said 'Isn't it nice and quiet without dad screaming at us' .. It was that moment I knew he was not coming back regardless of what he did or said!
Apply for housing benefit now.. they won't backdate it otherwise!
