NQ, I did wonder if you'd know about car boot sales over there, Thanks for explaining it to K Do you only have yard or garage sales over there then? Some places in the US don't allow yard sales anymore, so that's why I didn't mention it. It would be great if we had yard sales over here because then I didn't have to go anywhere, lol.
No problem Ttd180. I don't know about the US but I've not seen any car boot sales in my part of Ontario. I have seen organized garage sales - a charity or other group rents a hall and charges a small fee for rental of a table to anyone with stuff to sell. Mostly it's yard sales or garage sales.
Yards in UK are almost non-existent compared to over here and none of the places I lived in even had a garage - most had on street parking only. Lol.

Thanks for explaining that NQ That's something you could do K. It's worth it as you can get money just by selling your old stuff I'm sure that you must have some things in your house that you can sell, old books, old clothes, old toys, old dvds, etc. What about it? I enjoy doing mine and I get my son involved as well. He sells his own stuff as well and any money he makes he keeps. He really enjoyed it last time Over here we have something similar when you rent a table, but they call it table top sales. Anyway K, have a think about it. It could be a good way to spend a weekend and get some money to go out with as well

I just hope that he does give me the money he owes me for my boys every other week that he said he will give me. I'm kind of worried about that cause I know he has fallen behind on his bills. If not I will have to file with the courts. Yes I just had a small yard sale with my MIL couple I'd weeks ago I didn't do to well because I reallyvdont have much to sell cause I don't like to keep things u usually throw things out or give them away that way I don't have so much to clean. Most of the things we did have were all of He's stuff which my spare room still is filled with his stuff. I'm about to put all of his things in boxes and take them out into the garage so that my home will be cleared from all of his things. Then I'll save up to get a spare bed so hopefully when one of my family members come up to visit me. I'm still working on that.

K, I know you're worried about the money but you can't let that worry run your life. It's not good for your health. If you need to go to the courts to get the money, do it. But don't spend all your time thinking about it.
I haven't managed to get my H to agree to any kind of child support yet. He keeps saying our separation is only temporary. I can't make him understand that it doesn't matter, that he's supposed to have started paying child support as soon as he moved out. Money is tight but I try not to keep thinking about it - it only makes me feel worse.
You've got enough to think about looking after your boys. They don't need you making yourself ill with worry. Things have a way of working out. Keep yourself strong for the boys, and do what you have to do in terms of the courts. Set a deadline and if he doesn't come through with the money then don't hesitate to go to the courts.
Concentrate on the other important things in your life. Stay strong!

I agree with NQ Glad you had a yard sale with MIL and made a little bit of money Whenever I want to chuck something away, I put it in a box ready to take to our next car boot sale. It's highly addictive, lol. I wish I could follow in your footsteps and not have any clutter lying around the place. We've got loads of clutter here and it'll take a while to get rid of it all. Stay healthy and look after those boys of yours We're here for you

I really hate getting rid of things, yes a hoarder in a way. But after BD I changed in a small way and got rid of my novels. Managed to make around $250.

Why bother having the novels when I can have so many more on the Ipad, and they take up very little shelf space. Still have some good novels or ones I haven't read yet. As a PE teacher I also had lots and lots of school books with regards to different sports etc. Realised what is the point of having them when I hadn't even looked at them for years. So they were given away to other teachers.

good idea I've still got to sort through my books to take to my next car boot sale. Hopefully it won't be that long to wait, I've got tons of stuff collecting in the garage!

(Just having a low night.) I'm having a sad and lonely night tonight I know its only been 19 days since H has moved out. I just can't stop thinking about him and missing him so much and I still wishing he would just come home. I know that he is not coming back but I still wish he would. OK enough of me being sad and lonely night. Good night and talk to you all soon
