toto, reminds me of the situation with my real dad, i only started speaking to him after about 12 years towards the end of last year, everything was fine, he would ring we even talked about maybe meeting up, but the talking soon moved onto my 2 sisters and then i got them in contact and nothing, I get no calls , he doesn't answer mine, I always knew whilst growing up I was never the favourite - i never wanted to be just wanted the odd bit of attention instead of a smack for something I'd never done.
I also have children, 4 of them ages between 6 and 6months, he hasn't seen them, doesn't even remember there birthdays.

To your last point of maybe cutting him out I'm feeling the same, I have managed all this time without the extra stress and I sure could do without it! He turned his back once I told him I was bankrupt at the one time when I needed help more than ever.

also some windscreen wipers, a patch for the exhaust, some furry dice and an engine :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Only joking!!

Glad it went well and at least you got something! I phoned my examiner today and she said there were some underlying issues and other questions she wanted to know but would not discuss over the phone, she said she would send them to me and that to have the answers ready from the first lot and to go and have an interview and chat on the 18th she said realistically i am looking at approx 4 hours of sorting things out who said bankruptcy was easy!!
She seemed nice enough on the phone though.............on a positive my ebay was suspended today for breech by boots as there most popular cream (which you can't get anywhere in the uk) i sold a couple of made me a nice profit and with postage increases my parcels i sent today went up by 11p-20p each so my ebay days are well and truly over!

Dunno babes.. I got mine before it went through... An audi before it went at £1200 though above my budget !!

My new car is nice, needs a bloody good clean though - i think someone of 'large proportion' may have had it before me... the seat leans to one side slightly and there is a 'worn' hand part of the steering wheel.. you know ??

There is a little oil leak,... knowing me this will be catostraphic.. but.. its not the cooling system or anything, and its drivable . My bro has been dead good.. he has gone out today, got me a ford CD player, new exahst, steering wheel, new indicator pole clicky thing, and loads of other gadgets from a 'posh' scrap yard. all for £30.. he will also fix the leak and that at the weekend, he loves his big brother...:D

How has all your days been.. Ive been stressed. Its bad being stressed. Good things happen when you are the blue eye though.. remember me telling yall thay i was acting duty supercisor.. well, been asked to apply for a managers job at the national control room in manchester !! Who knows.. what shall I do.. the OR will have a field day with my IPA !

Wow Mike , your brother did well getting all those bits for you. going for the job can't do you any harm & if/when they offer it to you then make the decision. I've done quite a bit of payroll in my time so i would be able to advise how much your net pay would be if you wanted me to look at it for you

Well my day has been strange, I've really struggled to concentrate at work today so although I was in for 11 hours only probably did about an hors work!! Spent the rest of the time playing games & entering competitions.

Anybody any idea how long it takes the OR to send the pack out? I had a call from his administrator on Friday but nothing through the post yet!!

Oh it wont take long hun.. the longet the better !! Ours was around 2 weeks if I remember rightylu.

Thanks for the pos vibes.. ive been a bit down today... could you have a peep what 26k would be per month for me hun? Not worth the travelling once the OR and the Petrol man have had their dig (20k now).

Thanks hun
