I just tried a new red wine tonight it's an Aussie one 13.5% and i find it ok for £2 something @ Asda seen it on the other side earlier and i have to say it is ok for the price drinking it atm and although it does not have the depth of the £15 bottles i have been drinking ( I only paid half price in Ss for the £15 stuff ) i can drink it and it does not taste like paint stripper and is actually ok am going for some more today it's a good Aussie ( and laugh all you like ) It's called Devils Cove hth

A lot of my toiletries came from Superdrug when they were selling stuff at silly prices such as shower gel, toothbrushes, toothpaste and mouthwash. I have stuff I keep meaning to take up to the hospital where DS2 spent most of the 1st week of his life but I've been lazy and not gotten my bum in gear. The other toiletries were the PriceCheck DTD and normal DTD.

My stash is taking over the house so I could really do with not buying any food bar fresh stuff like milk, bread & veg and concentrate on eating through the cupboards, freezer & stash. I'm just scared to lose the buffer in case things take an unexpected turn. I'm currently awaiting my ex kicking me & the kids out of 'his' house (he never got my name put on the mortgage) in which case I could lose my job as my salary will only cover childcare (very expensive over here) and rent so bar child benefit, I'd be relying on the ex paying more than he pays for his other kid to cover the bills. Given we split up because of his kid and his ex, I don't hold out much hope that me & the boys mean anything to him

There's a lot more to it but here it is in black & white - when asked what would happen if our finances got worse, he refused to reduce the lavish amount he pays his ex in order to provide for his 2 other kids. I spent the last 2 years paying half the bills (as did he as far as I've been told) but I also paid for all the food, clothes, toys etc for all of us including my step-child while he didn't put his hand in his pocket to even buy a toy for the boys (until a couple of months before we split when DS1 got some Thomas DVDs but in nearly 2 years that was it bar one business trip pressie). Poor DS2 wasn't bought anything until a week or so before we split. Thankfully his mummy bought him his cot, mattress and car seat.

I'm scared that if I start working through the stash that any money I save could be used to pay legal bills or if he files for divorce, could be counted towards the assets. It kills me that I'm in the worst financial position I've ever been in because I've been crippled by legal bills yet not once has my ex even bought a pack of baby wipes or nappies for his kids

Sorry that's gone on a bit. The busty barmaid poured me a large one and it's gone to my head

Caz I've read a little bit of your story before but it's always been in bits and pieces so I've never got quite an much of the picture than what I have from reading this post!

What an absolute douche bag!! (not swearing, I don't want to be banned!! ) No wonder the idea of Voldemort came into your head!!

Wow I've always read your posts and thought that you've done a FANTASTIC job at being a single Mum and providing for your boys and giving them such a wonderful Christmas being spoilt like they deserve :T:T:T But after reading this girl what a truly amazing lady you are. You should be very proud of yourself.

I say carry on glitching, especially on non-perishables and prevent the nasty piece of work from taking any of the security that you've worked so hard to build. It's such an unfortunate shame that you're forced to consider the fact that your savings could go against you We're facing a similar situation with getting my Grandfather care for his Alzheimers. Penalising people that have been sensible with their money and worked damn hard to achieve security and a little financial comfort is just completely wrong and makes me very angry :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Please please please don't dare him to come back unless he has approval from the mods. If he comes back under another name while his original account has a PPR, he could be liable for costs and be reported to his ISP - well if you believe they'd go to those lengths but given the rules only apply to us, I'd believe it

:TPoint well made about the dares. Sorry if this is a bit non PC or offends but I remember in my playground days that kids would often dare those who, because of their problems, would respond and get themselves into trouble which was much to the amusement of those doing the daring.I'm sure that those doing the daring in this case are just tongue in cheek but please don't get HC into more trouble than he is. He deserves better. Sorry for the rant but it is well meant:o

Thank you

I never posted because I've tried so many times recently to hope that things could be fixed and I'd live a fairy tale life. Unfortunately week after week I get more and more disappointed but become more and more realistic that I was only good enough to help raise his other kid and allow him to have a nice lifestyle and provide him with more kids that he can 'play daddy' with when it suits. It hurts like you wouldn't believe to know that his other kid means more than his sons. I love those boys so much and it breaks my heart that he's allow to play happy familes each weekend, tearing me and the boys apart from eachother and all the while the boys are too young to understand what is happening. In future years if asked, I won't lie to them about why we split. I couldn't continue being married to someone who gave his ex extra money behind my back, someone who when questioned by his ex about the new (2nd hand) car we were getting changed his mind and went for a cheapie so his ex couldn't complain that we were getting a car and not giving her extras. Someone who complained that I bought our son a £20 cot instead of using one that had been lying out in the garage for months. Someone who gave off because I bought some juice for DS1 and didn't get anything for his kid (who wasn't even there at the time). Yes, it really was that pathetic.

I've not had a penny from him since we split although he is at least paying the mortgage - well this is what happens when it's just his name on the mortgage and he was escorted off the premises by the local plod.

So there we have it for those who like to make fun of me and my situation. Wanna swap?

Not at all, you're welcome :ALovely to see you posting again tonight, it sounds like you're having a real rough time of it Don't berate yourself for feeling sorry for yourself because others are having a 'worse time' you'll only feel even worse. I'm sure your problems are just as important as anyone elses and it always sucks when you're the one going through it!

My Grampy always used to say 'earaches the worst pain you can ever have.' But I think the worst pain is the one you're in at the moment!!! :rotfl::p

There's a HUGE jump between Paracetamol and Pethidine, no wonder you're feeling blue Give it your utmost to get an app with a doctor who's been helpful and considerate in the past and GOOD LUCK! xx Hope you're feeling much much better soon :A

Your Grampy was right that's old school and i heard it the other day from an old boy so it still lives on :T

Caz I don't think for a moment that anyone would want to make fun of you. They would have to be a very unfeeling and cold person to find anything humorous about your situation. It must be incredibly difficult, managing your feelings and trying to remain upbeat for your 2 little boys.

While everything else is whizzing around that you have little or no control of, try and keep focussed on what's important; you and your 2 little angels :A:A

I hope that your ex will get his just desserts and you will continue to gain the strength you need to get you through and build a new life for you and your sons. xxx:)

Caz I have read a few things of what you have put up with hes a real piece of work and should be totally ashamed of himself , I never commented before as I felt I hadn't been on the forum long enough. Been here for a wee while now and from what I can see you are one strong independant woman and a great mother! Some people think kids dont pick up on things but your kids will know as they grow older that he was a complete numpty! Sending you hugs xxx
