Thank you for all your comments.

Despite H being on holiday (again) I did get a letter from his L yesterday. Last week's letter said that H wanted his £30k by 31st October my response was that was unreasonable and impossible due to the process that has to be gone through first. This week's letter tells me that the date stipulated by H is non negotiable. It says H is no longer prepared to communicate on anything BUT I have been instructed to ensure that his L knows by close of business tomorrow (Monday) whether I am going to pay up or not. The tone of the letter is really nasty. It's just as well it came on a Saturday and that H was away as they may well have felt the full thrust of my anger by now H clearly needs this money for something very pressing (either that or OW has given him an ultimatum). The only thing that worries me is that if he creditors are coming after him that they are on the way to me to collect! Obviously I need to speak to my L tomorrow morning. Isn't it interesting how even though they want this over and done with yesterday they still do stupid things like this and drag things out even further. Of course he is still threatening me with court. Neither of us can afford that but I won't be blackmailed and if we have to go, go we shall.

D18 came home this weekend. It was lovely to see her. She has gone back again now but will be here next weekend also for her BFs birthday.

I went to a card making class yesterday morning. I had a fantastic time. It's really weird actually b/c normally my post doens't come until at least 11am but yesterday it came really early and so I had read Hs letter before I went to the class. I'm glad I didn't save it for when I came home b/c by the time I had spent the morning at the class I had almost forgotten about it and I had the fruits of my labours at the class to show for and even though I say it myself they are pretty damn good!
