Thanks Andabelle. The letter was like water off a duck's back. There are several revisions that I will want making to the agreement and that is before I have had a chance to speak to my L about it.

It doesn't look like my planned New Year's day party is going to go as well as it usually does as a lot of people are either saying they have other plans this year or don't want to give me a definite answer as they don't know how they will be after New Year's Eve. I'm still going to cook all the food and if no-one turns up D18 will be eating chilli, shepherds pie and apple pie for the next few months at uni Equally if they don't turn up I will have to think of another new tradition for next year.

Things I would like to achieve in 2009:

Enjoying my new job and not being stressed out by it

Having my name on the mortgage alone

To have the D finalised and over (miracles don't seem to be happening in this part of the world )If you are new to my thread you must understand that this will tear me apart but after 3 yrs of being in limbo it has to happen to allow me and my children to move on.

To complete my current degree

To start a top up course to make that degree into a better one

To have a new carpet in my lounge

To get asked out on a date (once the D is over with of course)

To ENJOY being Alison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL
