jmw thanks for your reply, I have to tell you because you asked before, when it came to the time for us to go to court the second time, ex didn't show up although it was his case we were there for, he said he was trying to keep his expenses down and was out looking for work in order to pay his solicitor, remember when he left he took about 220k, so dont expect yours to turn up next time, I think it was because he couldn't face me again, he never looked or should I say let me see him look the first time around, maybe he didn't like what he was actually doing. Anyhow here is today's news, like my solicitor has called and said that she had a very stroppy letter from his solicitor stating that he was none too pleased that we hadn't informed him of us moving out. wtf does this guy want, he takes us to court to get us out of his property for trespassing and when we do leave he still isn't happy that we haven't let him know. GEEZE give me strength.
