lubey the house thingy is a tricky one. I can take him to court but chances are I'll end up paying him more (possibly a lot more) than I've offered. My best hope is negotiation but he's such a total prick that could take years. It's been nearly 5 years so far though...

other thread has cheered me up and distracted me from the house mess though. am always happiest when thinking of ways to waste money:) the Wine has also helped!

Juliette you are just digging yourself deeper . . .

Match is much better than PoF tonight. Not a lot of interesting ones at all on PoF but Match has given me a senior manager for a - get this - cake and chocolate company! That's my man. Sorry Mr Veggie, sling your hook.

Snape ok I just don't care Grin

Velvet that sounds like an awful situation to be in. Is there any way you could afford to pay him enough to get rid and be free?

Juliette he wants £50k, I've offered him £35k. I can pay him more, but as I've already given up on ever seeing any money from the DSs from him, and he spent £40k of our money in the 18 months between us splitting up and me cutting off his access to the joint account, I am reluctant to give him any more of my money. Which probably is cutting my nose off to spite my face a bit I know.

Velvet The way to think of it is to ask yourself it's worth £15k to you to have the situation over and done with. Only you will know that. Haven't seen your other thread - whereabouts is it?

I'd be inclined to drop the offer by £1k a week. Just to underline what is at stake here.

Velvet what OWW said. I took the pay off route once to the lying money grabbing cunt someone who threatened me with court which would have cost me more even if I won and I couldn't take the risk. No more letters on the doormat was worth every penny.

Snape if I'd done that when I first made him an offer 3 years ago he'd be owing me money now Grin In addition to the £500 a month he should have given me for the DSs during that time of course...

Western and Juliette I should be pragmatic, I know my dad would tell me to give him the £50k, and to tell him to stick it up his arse Grin, but I just can't quite bring myself to. He has pissed so much of my money away I begrudge much more. Although tbh if he says he'll take £40k, then I would probably go to that.

My little other thread is here a bit of light relief from the earlier untidy house rage...on which note they have tidied and it is almost acceptable. It won't stay like it long but I have calmed down :)

I refer you to the dating commandments, particularly number 2 and 3

  1. Develop a thick skin;
  2. Do not invest emotionally too soon;
  3. It's all BS until it actually happens;
  4. Trust your gut instinct;
  5. If it is not fun, stop

I was aiming the commandments more at ohmyrainydays but yeah I think anyone in whatever dating situation would do well to be following them.

we've all made knobs of ourselves on dates before, I know for definite a few times in my case I'm sure :o
