A few changes, last years over payment from tax credits means payments reduce so income less but a few savings made in some places to balance it out.
Holiday booked for July, 8 nights camping by the seasidecheap as chips
I know a holiday is not everyone's priority when paying of debt but I need a break, I need time away from the daily grind of the hinge house and as strangely as it sounds holiday is so much less stressful and Superman really chills, Miss Hinge is happier and Master Hinge could happily spend the day engrossed with the beach and sea.
I'm not sure if Mr Hinge will be coming with us or not as he is looking to move out and start a fresh and go back to uni.a very hard decision but one that has not come completely by surprise...... volunteers needed to help pitch the tent :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I'm hoping some fellow campers on site will take pity on us
How is everyone?

Honestly? I don't knowI fell angry then sad then frustrated a little bit relieved then the cycle begins again. :mad:
3 children to bring up alone with a-part-dad who wants to play his life for the last 10 years fills me with dread but I also know it want Mr Hinge wants for his life and I need to respect that. It will most certainly make him happier.Living in a superhero induced haze :A:A

So would you be split or just living apart? I understand your cycle of emotions and each one is valid. In my opinion you are the one being dumped on, it's not like you get the chance to replay your life is it? Unless it is for the good of the whole family, ie it will lead to a much better future income, then it's not really fair for one part of a couple to chase their dreams to the detriment of the other.
I of course know nothing of the details of your daily life though, so forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

It is a split, I can't see how a relationship can work where one half of the equation moves out to follow a pipe dream and the other shoulders all the responsibility single handed after putting their own dreams on hold for the good of household.Living in a superhero induced haze :A:A

I can't claim CA if I work the hours I do currently but Mr H wouldn't claim it either when he moves out.Living in a superhero induced haze :A:A
