    It sounds like you have a great plan!!! I was in a similar situation to you and I found that catching up with old friends up and down the country every week helped heal.
    My best friend found that saving up to go and explore a foreign country gave her something to concentrate on and that helped heal.
    Good Luck
  • Thanks a lot :)

    Had to do CPR with mouth-to-mouth for a Year 11 student today until the ambulance arrived, my first ever real life go of it. Thankfully it worked after 10 mins and she started breathing again and opened her eyes. Very pleased, and somewhat teary about it :o

    Payday today, so will do my first savings transfer a bit later online, hope to put away £500, need to get some dollars for our Florida trip (excited!) and spent £20 today on a ticket to the Letters Live performance at south bank in April, where famous letters are read out loud by a load of celebrities. I managed to bag a second from front row ticket :D

  • Wow! Today you saved a life, that's beautiful :) And your financial plan is incredible, if I had to start over again, I'd definitely follow something quite similar. Love the advice in this thread too, so many helpful posters. Have fun in Florida!

  • Just came across your post Sherlockfan and wanted to wish you well.

    I have been back at my parents for over a year now too, after finding out my ex had gambled away our rent money and lied about it.

    Cut along story short, I left him and faced up to not only having lived with a liar for four years, but also having gained a whopping debt which we had both amased, but most of it in my name. He stopped paying his share once I left him, but to be honest I'd rather the debt myself than ever have to see or have contact with him ever again.

    You will be fine! I actually feel a lot happier now than I ever did. I have a bit more debt to clear and then I am going to start looking for a flat.

    Here's to our new lives!
    I will follow your progress,

    Wish you all the best, at least it could of been worse if you had a kid together or that you didn't have a job.

    Also if he admits to the affair you could probably seek a lawyer for advice and maybe get some compensation.

    Hi SherlockFan85!


    I'm sorry to hear what happened. I went through something similar, but was not married.


    It's brilliant how organised you're being - remember, everything amazing starts somewhere! :) The only way to go it UP! :)


    I wish you all the best & can't wait to read your updates! :)
