    Glad the first day is over back from a hol, it's always the worst. I teach in scotland but we didn't get a week off and really could have done with it just to get jobs done like you did.

    Hope ds was ok after his all night tv watching!

    And another of those days where we are told that a former colleague has passed away. This one was one of the healthiest / fittest people I've ever met. A lovely guy, 42, with a young family. I will be raising a glass tonight :A

    So today I had another phone call from the child maintenance people ... they have spoken to him and they've realised they have made a mistake and the assessment they sent me is all wrong and I need to ignore it and they will start it again and it will take another few weeks :mad: :mad: So yet again, for another month, he can contribute whatever amount he chooses and there's nothing I can do about it :mad: I'm so so so fed up of it all. How can I possibly budget when I never know what I'm getting, even when they say categorically he will pay a certain amount, then they change it on the day he's meant to pay :mad: :mad: They are just as useless as the csa were :(:(

    That is dire.
    I would be having a chat with your MP.

    He sure is but nonetheless he has his duties as an MP. As a former civil servant there is nothing guaranteed to get government department moving more than an MP's enquiry. They give them top priority. Worth a punt.
