From where I left off on my last post, 2 days later I called a solicitor and had a nice long chat. He seemed to think that I had a good case but that I should be cautious not to just change the locks or do anything dumb, he also suggested I try and resolve it, perhaps go to financial mediation etc…
On that note…I went on my own on holiday to lovely Wookey! It gave me plenty of time and space to think and consider what next…Whilst there, the ‘health’ scare was resolved and I had another chat with the solicitor. I resolved to bring it all to another head at the first opportunity.
Anyway, I bet you would love to see some holiday snaps 🙂
And then I came back…and I did not get him a present. And I started the conversation about lawyers etc and offered more money, and he got upset..mainly because I only got him a card and it was his birthday…
Which led to a bit of a guilt trip, cos I could have got him something from my holiday, it would not have been much effort, and it was his birthday.
However (and I stress this was not in my mind at the time and only came to me the other day). I bought him a laptop for his birthday last year. It stayed in the box. For 3 weeks. Unopened. Eventually after much nagging, it was finally switched on and I think it was ready to use properly by some time in October…shows how much he really values the presents I buy, until of course, I don’t.
