Dear all,
Thanks to all of you that welcomed me back on the 'manners' thread. It's so good to see alot of familiar posters and it's good to know you remember me and some of my debacles. I remember you all with great fondness.
I haven't posted for around a year as my job no longer allows me to while away hours on the net. We are inundated most days, and I'm still finding the job very interesting.
To answer sis's question - I'm still with the Portuguese 'toy boy' although he no longer lives with me. The footy result didn't go down in my house to well - but that's not why he's not living here anymore. Much as we love eachother it was always inevitable he would have a different agenda from me. As we've got to know eachother even more, it's become apparent thet he needs to go off and do all the things that I was doing at his age, eg; travelling for four years on and off. Gutting, but that's life. I can't begrudge him that at all. He's been a saviour over the last year at some points, and at others a pain in the behind. especially when 'they' beat us at penalties!
In two weeks I have a court case with Harvey's dad over the house. We have only communicated through solicitors for the last year - an expensive channel! He has rejected all my offers to buy him out. He's been relying on estate agents valuations and disagrees with the surveyors valuation that i had done just after he left. He hasn't contributed to the mortgage since he left in Oct 2002, but still thinks he's entitled to more equity due to the hike in house prices since his departure. So his case is; he wants to force a sale of the house, and until I manage this sale he wants £400 p.m. compensation for his 'exclusion' from the house.
he is still with the girl he was with when he was living here for the last month or so. Apparently she has been undergoing counselling for 'over possessiveness'. Of course it's not his problem! he texted me on Harvey's birthday saying ' God bless our little smiler'. Nice - unfortunately he's lost any chance of peaceful reminiscence with me.
So ho hum - up and down.
