Echoing the others - sorry that your ex is making life difficult but it's good that you have put up boundaries. He's probably realised that life was a lot easier before with you as you dug him out of so many financial holes.
Here's to a fresh and positive 2020 for you!:)

HI EE, nice to see you back :hello: but sorry your ex is being a twonk. If he continues you absolutely should go to the police, he doesn't deserve your consideration over his job prospects. He needs to take responsibility for his behaviour and poor decision making regardless of his mental health.
Hope you can get your debts sorted out and a realistic payment plan in place.Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Car loan 1 £11,174, Car loan 2 £5,532, CC 0% BT £780. Debt Free Diary to try & keep spending in check.4 -

Thanks for asking after me Seasidegal58.
Things are going well, I was officially divorced as of 30th January!!!
My debts have all defaulted except my current account and credit card with my main bank, they are all getting £1pm for now.
I am still struggling to budget properly, at the end of Feb I spent loads of money within 1 week of pay day and then have struggled to be able to afford food and petrol for the rest of the month and I realise I live in a feast and famine way every single month, week1 is feast and week 2 -4 is famine.
I need to sort this out and finally get a grip on my spending otherwise I am never going to achieve what I want to.
Payday is now 25th of every month so I am determined to start as I mean to go on this month, I will have an extra mouth to feed as DS is back from Uni next weekend but now I will be working from home on some days I will save petrol and of course DD is off college so I don't need to run her about so hoping to save on petrol.
