Catch Up!!!

Oh God! I'm SUCH a slacker! I haven't blogged for ages!

Right - what has happened in my life since I last bothered my arse to blog about it...?

Actually lots and lots has happened. To the point where I don't know which way is up and my stress levels are through the roof.

Probably why I haven't wanted to write about it. Too much to cope with just living it!

So - a brief rundown of things that have happened in thelast week or so:

BastardCard:
Living up to their new name.

Didn't investigate and send me a final response letter as they were supposed to. Didn't resolve the issue by mid-march as they were supposed to.

No.

The fuckers sent the case off to a debt collection agency instead!

Needless to say I wrote them a shitty letter and copied it to the financial ombudsman and to the debt collectors. Was a bit angry - wrote an essay - sent off 11 pages of A4 to each!

Debt collection agency responded by apologising and I made a £50 contribution towards my actual bill so that the matter did not go to court (they had been demanding just over £150 in their letter).

Still to hear back from BastardCard. Watch this space!!

Divorce:
Nick is being a fucking shite.

No change there then!

He's told Gemima that he hates me and everyone in my family and that after the divorce is over he never wants to see any of us again. (Feeling is mutual I am sure!)

He has clearly forgotten that my family happen to be Gemima's family and that she will be upset by this.

Tosser!

He has also been doing his best to again persuade her to live with him and not me. Naturally I have explained that this is not a decision a 7-year-old has to make and that the courts will decide.

He has cancelled all the direct debits on the joint account - including utility bills and council tax! The only ones left open are mortgage and his life insurance. I have had to go pay off May's mortgage as I found out today that it wasn't paid! Hurrah! That's me skint for the month! Had to move mortgage payment date to 1st of the month too - so that's an extra £120-odd on top of next month's mortgage already.

Keith:
Is my rock and is as fabulous as ever. I don't know what I would do without him.

Really.

I don't.

I've had a great couple of weekends. The kids love being in SWF and they both really like Keith.

That's not a problem. The problem is the awful empty feeling I get when I have to leave SWF to come back to London. I hesitate to say come back home because the house in London doesn't feel like home. Not to any of us.

House:
Looks like I'll have to sell it. Brain fizzing - can't write any more about this!

General:

• Work = busy and now complicated! Talk about steep learning curve!
• Car = taxed now. Finally! Insurance premium has now doubled since accident last year as lorry driver who parked in the back of my old Peugeot has still not paid out so I look like I have 0 years no claims bonus instead of 3 years! Grrr!
• Watched lots of TV at Keith's - a novelty still!
• Went to see Indiana Jones with Keith, Aaron, Gemima and Sam. Was fab and continued in the traditional Indiana Jones style!

Tired. Tis late and I should have been asleep long ago but sleep has been elusive for a couple of weeks now.

I miss Keith. I find it hard to sleep in my cold bed in the loft without him. I seem to have become used to cuddling up to him and nodding off. Its funny - I thought I would never want to share my sleeping space with anyone again - but I can't sleep properly anymore when he's not there.

*sigh*

That's about all my tired brain can remember for now. Time to attempt the sleep thing again methinks!
