Holy moly,
Just got two emails from XH back-to-back.

First announced he was not going to oppose my formal application that he remove the caveat from my house. (I can now extend the mortgage to cover all the credit card debt he left me with). Although he did say he could not do it straightaway as he "could not afford to". JC on a crutch! as they say.

Second email was as follows:
Hi NLW,

Would I be able to take the kids (and you) out to dinner on Thursday? If you could let me know so I can change the roster it would be appreciated.

Regards
XH

Today is his birthday.

Missing the old life much???
