Hi all,

Thank you for all your support in frustrating behaviour, yes I got the hotel room sorted, I do have it, it has finally shown up in the system. Yesterday I left the lights on in the car and of course battery was dead once I came to go home from work. Sorted out without any major drama, am fortunate to have roadside rescue and they got there after a while. My ex-A is managing to give our son an awful time and I am managing to stay calm about that though am very resentful at the bad behaviour that alcoholics manage to engage in. Today I got a phone call from ex-A asking me do I want a stray dog that he has seen at work. I am polite in my denial and rational, though of course I am wondering where my two weeks maintenance money is. The family come last on his list of financial obligations. However I have been blessed with work. One job has just finished and within five minutes, another suitable one turned up, I am sure my HP is looking out for me, I take full responsibility for the car myself!
