Ok it's been 3 days and I haven't made a blog entry, so a lot of time to make up.
A strange 3 days, an emotional yo-yo
Started typing up the D8 petition, Section 13 asks for details, they want details - I gave them chapter and verse, however I am sure that was not required so it's now been edited to a couple of lines. I did however quite enjoy the initial putting it ALL down. I will finish tidying the D8 and add the court details tomorrow
Foolish me, watched The Killing Fields on TV late last night complete with an alcoholic night cap. What a mistake, got myself in a right state and ended up sending an email to stbx/wife/witch which simply said "Why ?". Sent her another one this morning apologising for sending it. Remind me not to watch such emotionally powerfull films whilst I am delicate.
Today was dedicated to laying the reclaimed parquet flooring in the lounge, have completed half the room, just the other half and the border to do. The sanding and varnishing will have to wait to some other time when I can justify spending the money.
Debating with myself whether I should freeze the joint account (if I can). Readers of previous blogs will know that I have set up a personal account and ported all the household direct debits to it, and cancelled all other direct debits and standing orders. The joint account is still poorly, stbx/wife/witch is now talking about transporting her belongings to Sweden, this will cost nearly £1000, neither of us have that readily available, but the joint account has a large overdraft limit on it, so should I get the account frozen ? I don't know, the debate continues

my opinion is i would get the joint account frozen, if she wants things transported to sweden let her pay. You have enough to deal with here - your doing well getting on with your home. Wish i had the same motivation. | |

I would jointly close the the joint account if possible, as soon as possible. It will be a point of conflict until you do. Plenty of other conflicts will be there, but one less. I remember calling my ex the witch, i just feel sorry for her now, so bitter and twisted, but I aint going to be like that. Good luck, |

Hi Arnie The terrm stbx/wife/witch to a large extent reflects the many feelings that I think we all feel all at the same time when we are in this situation. stbx is an acknowledgement of likely outcome, witch is a reflection of the grief and loss that has been caused the actions of ones partner and expresses some of the anger that does exist and wife is a reflection of the partnership and good times once had and hopefully the main memories that will remain in future years. Good news the joint account is now closed, with joint agreement, my main fear was the possibility of a rather large overdraft facility being utilised and me being the easiest target for reclaiming it by the bank. |
