Journalling..

Stbx brought the kids back from their first day out with him in months yesterday afternoon.

Just as he'd been when he arrived to pick them up, he was very friendly.

He came back into the house with them when he dropped them off (even though there was no need to).

When he was leaving, he said "Thanks", and used a special diminutive of my name - it's his nickname for me.

Again, weird. He was certainly UP.

Apparently he told the kids while they were out that he wanted to take them interstate on a flying holiday, one weekend soon.

Kids were shocked as they know he has not paid school fees or anything else of their financial needs.
