They wont but I accept that I honestly after last year especially things they have done, want to cut ties and if I could right now I would but I have no one else to help me. It was that bad last year I had started looking into immigration more to New Zealand and leaving. I have only my boy here and only reason why I stay in the UK.
Anyway8 days to payday. This weekend I am going to Manchester for the day. I am meeting two woman I met on my fitness group and been good friends with for 3 years we going to meet for lunch. So going to meet for first time
