Toad's Solicitor phoned me at home unannounced after hours this evening

I thought this would call for a new thread.

As I was preparing the children's dinner, the phone rang and guess who it was? Toad's solicitor, to have a chat about contact.

I am a friendly and polite person, also was in shock, so I complied and explained to him the children's views on their father.

DS thought I was 'cool'. Confused.

You never know what will happen at the moment.

Annie part payment validities the contact and means that the terms of the agreement are accepted. There is no going back on this. It can now be enforced.

You make me laugh...just about the only person I know who actually wants their Ex-P/H to settle down and fuck off!

Well, the year is a long one - there's time yet.

I'm still wishing mine gangrene. 'Tis going to all kick off either today (it's Friday - D-Day!) or Monday - which is the last date of exchange ruled by court. So that's be five minutes before the final hearing then...

Ten days.
