Monday 21st June 2010 Appointment with financial advisor today. Going to see what I can afford and what I can’t. If I can manage £800 rent, surely I can afford a mortgage. Well, that’s a surprise. Told me to go to the Halifax and apply to take my mortgage over and Dave says I can keep the house so why not. Walked to Halifax, made an appointment for 1.30 today. Well let’s see. In principle they’ve said yes and just need to wait for mortgage offer in writing. My head ....

Monday 14th June 2010 Got to sell this house! I’m sick to death of cleaning. I’ve scrubbed the house every day so surely it doesn’t need cleaning everyday but need to sell it. Got Dave cleaning the windows yesterday so I just need to do the rest. I hate bloody cleaning too but house looks great, shame we’ve got to sell it. Tuesday 15th June 2010 Estate agent around today. More viewing, lady loved it but can’t sell hers at the moment so don’t really know why sh....

Tuesday 1st June 2010 Well, Emma’s exams are ¾ of their way through and things are tough today. It’s half t....

Monday 24th May 2010 Well, Monday again and it’s nearly half way through the year. I just thought if I’d moved into that rented place I’d have lived there nearly a month by now. I couldn’t afford to rent so that’s why I’ve made an appointment with the council to see what they have to say and what my chances are of getting a council house. Tuesday 25th May 2010 Meeting with council today. I’ve registered and you have to bid on a council house so we’....

Monday 10th May 2010 God the weekend went really quickly. I am still tired. Dave came back from his girlfriends and started having a go – good job Emma was out.

Tuesday 11th May 2010 Local paper out today, scanned it for jobs. It’s so difficult – try to work around the ki....

I got two full barrels worth and then the tears. Dave admitted that he’s been spying on me and can’t cope with the fact that it’s over which I fou....

Monday 8th February 2010 Spent the day in bed, had a sickness bug. Emma and Jack are ok today. Tuesday 9th February 2010 Good news, divorce solicitors due today. Hey ho, Jack has chicken pox and had to cancel....
