    Chin up Scamps.
    Sound advice has been given to you already.
    My OH works for a local authority and has asked if your name was on the tenancy agreement then you may be able to stay there. They should be open in the morning so its worth checking with your local authority.

    Big hugs x

    No, you both read it right!! Been going on for a while. Found out yesterday that she's been bidding on house's and one has come up (she has to call about it on the 5th) which means I'll be homeless!!! She went to see her parents last night (I don't get on with them!) and she came home at 9am this morning. She's packed a bag and gone back to her parents house. Just checked and our bank account has been cleared. Sorry if this is bringing the thread down but I need somewhere to take my mind off things. I've got a stinking hangover, so it's just as well she's taken my car.
    Sorry peeps, I'll see you in a bit.

    Not a great start to the year. :(
    I hope things get better for you soon. Sending hugs.

    Thanks to OP of the Mr Shoes glitch :-) just picked up my order, minus the 2 refunded smelly ponies. Not as good as some of your cheap orders but still saved 1k. Don't know how to add photos.

    I picked mine up yesterday with no RL in.....but they are refusing to refund me anything for them.....so I paid £45 for 2 razors which is about what they're worth!!! Have complained about this lack of refund-will see what they say

    Did they automatically refund your RL? If you don't mind me asking how much did they refund?

    Tenth Anniversary
    Afternoon peeps. :)

    Thankyou all for your advice. RE- bank. no overdraft on it, yes it's joint as was savings account. Both cleared and she's put it all into a new account of her own. :( £15000 I'm not going to see again!!

    I'm surprised we lasted this long, 11 yrs+. When i first met her she'd not long got divorced from a millionaire buildings architect, (for those in Bristol, Aztec West hotel is one of his), she left with nothing. Her mother never approved of me and has always put me down to my wife, she's very very materialistic. her parents are rich and have never helped us out in any way, but has always tried to bribe my wife with a house of her own and anything she needs, added to this, the pressure from her 18 yr old son who can only see £ signs in his head from them. Well, she finally cracked. It's her parents who have been bidding on a house for her and they've promised her everything as long as she leaves me!! They even threatened to cut her out of their will if she didn't!!!!!

    That said, I started this relationship with nothing, and It'll end with me having nothing and I'm not that bothered to be honest. Yes it's hurting, but I know that with time It'll get easier, I'm not daft!!!

    With the support from friends and my virtual family (you lot) I'll get by. It's just comforting to know that if and when I'm down, I can come on here for a chat and a pick me up.

    Now wher did I leave my drink, Ah, here it is. Cheers peeps. Happy New Year. :beer:

    Oh Scamps. If she values money over you then it sounds like this is the best thing for you, even though it might not seem like it at the moment. I wish you the best of luck in getting back what's rightfully yours. Lots of love.

    Sounds like you've had a lot to cope with Scamps. You deserve better. :)

    My whole order was £366, they refunded automatically £28 I think for the RL as they sent me a partial order email. I hope you get your refund.

    I don't really know what to say, you've certainly had a crappy time of it :(

    But I do know that you are very resourceful and your kids will do what they can to help you. Know that you very much aren't on your own, even though it may feel like it sometimes.
