From debt to freedom...

So sorry Ex is still causing issues. 

The pressure in the boiler system - I was always told to try and keep mine between 1.75 and 2 - but that's no help if you have a different kind of boiler to me. At least you know now though what to do if it happens again.

Could it be the ex who sabotaged the heating? That man is unbelievable.

Just caught up with your diary and just want to say congrats on being free at last. I can't believe you ex is still being a pain, hopefully he will give up at some point . The low pressure in the boiler could be due to a leak. Mine was doing it regularly and I had a tiny leak in a pipe in the kitchen. They do also lose pressure sometimes with no obvious reason so just keep an eye and see if it's a regular thing.

Thank you Cherryfudge, Spendless, Lucielle, ES, SA, Kittykattykate, SH and OBL.

ES - DD3 didn’t let him in. She bolted the doors and went back to her studies. As far as I know he doesn’t have access to any keys. I’ve changed the back door lock about 3 times now because keys were compromised but after the last time, all keys are with the people who are supposed to have them. 

Spendless- I don’t know if the ex knew I had cleared out the shed or not but bizarre that after the years of not getting round to it, he shows up in the month that I tackle it!

Thank you everyone for the heating advice. The heating went down again on Saturday and I flipped the valves to check the pressure. It had dropped a little but not as much as before. It had no effect. SO turned the whole system off and then back on and it started working again.

Hmmmm am tempted to think that either he found out somehow or as much as I'm loathe to put this idea in your head, he continues to come round when everyone is out, he just got caught out by DD3 being unexpectedly  at home. Could just be co-incidence of course but I'm just cynical. Speak to your solicitor though about it

Sadly solicitors wlll charge..maybe ask CAB as they have legal advisers.

Thank you Spendless and Janb5.  Hadn’t thought of CAB…

Had more interaction with the solicitors this week as the ex is trying to prevaricate over the last form that has to go
through the courts *sigh*. 

Payday for Job 1 was on Wednesday. Have paid some more off debts so will update the figures shortly.  It’s been another very busy week so am hoping for a calmer weekend to recharge my batteries!

Gosh your ex really doesn’t know when to give up. Keep going you’re doing really well.

Hmm the last document to be signed and appearing at your place the other day seems a bit co-incidental to me. Did he know about this document before his visit?  Back to trying to control you - been down this path before (pardon the pun!). He's not learnt his lesson that it doesn't work. Unfortunately it just becomes time consuming and costly for you.

After this document is done with is that the final tie severed (other than anything to do with the children

Well done on paying off more debt. You're getting there.

It must be so frustrating. I'm angry on your behalf just thinking about him and his exploits
