    I wish a certain few people would find their way off this planet and go live somewhere else. How they can try and make hastle and drama for others happily is beyond me..

    On another note. i may have pre-ordered an advent calendar already :O lol

    You OK hun ?

    sorry.

    No need to be sorry.

    I'm on the other end of it. Just got the forms to send back to the CSA Enforcement team to help the bailiffs identify my ex.
    He owes me over £12,000.

    Happy birthday my3girls!

    Msgigglewick I'm so sorry Hun. I can't believe they are dictating that! Does it go on your family income or just DH? It doesn't seem right that you personally should be stumping up and fits based on just DH then how can they say that 80% of his income is up for grabs?

    Christmas news - DH has agreed to a real tree once we have a house! I am ecstatic :) oh and mil presented me with some beautiful wide gingerbread ribbon that she got half price - it is gorgeous!

    I turned down those extra days. DH wouldn't always be able to nip back from work to feed the dogs, there was no way I'd leave them cooped up for that long. The money I earned would have been swallowed by replacing the bloody carpet lol

    just on his wages.. i don't earn anything. they can't. they have said they don't know why that letter has been sent... utter bull if you ask me! they have said they will get back to us next week. Which they better cause i am already to line up the solicitor and mp right now.

    yay to a real tree! i think they look lovely but can't have them here. i'd be constantly sneezing even more than i do everyday lol

    omo i feel for you, 3 of my girls aren't dh so i see the other side to it too.. their father only works about 16 hours a week min wage so he doesn't have to pay too much for them. really does get on my wick! so what we pay out for dh three is a third of what i get for the three girls here. doesn't seem right. (edit thats not right lol we get a third of what we pay out on his boys for my girls, archers talking there)

  • Seems to be a bad time for us all dealing with exs - I've had to go back to my solicitor to make mine adhere to the court order. Its the stress of it all that gets me, I was up in the night being ill and that was the night before the meeting. Am dreading the letter going out as I know the e mails will be horrid.
    Anyway,on a brighter note - it is very unlikely that I will be going on holiday this year soooooo my 2 dds and I have decided to try to go for a girlei couple of days to the Christmas Markets in Germany. Now, I know I'm on the right thread for the C*Mas word.....so does anyone have any good ideas, tips, hotels etc? We are looking at going to Cologne as that looks like one of the best ones, probably at the very end of Nov. Now that will put me in the C*Mas Spirit......on countdown already!
