Telephone dating is still happening, still spending a lot of time on the phone but haven't yet met in person.

I think it's actually quite amazing that we can manage to talk for 4-5 hours EVERY day and still have things to talk about. We're spending more time together than most couples who live together!

Plans to meet have been shelved for a little while, after Christmas, and again he needs to sort things out with his XW, don't know when that will be.

Sorry Mel that your XP is harassing you - sometimes I wish mine would go live in Sydney! I wouldn't worry about your XP finding out about your new friend - it's going to happen at some stage, you're not going to be single for the rest of your life, and he's going to have to get used to it. I'm sure he's sh@gged some floozy anyway. They all do!

Let's just say that $27 per month is more Child Support than I get... I get NONE. Diddly squat. Nil. Nada. Nuffin. But he does pay half the daycare (we both use day care so we can go to work, so I told him he needed to pay half of it!) which is a little better than nuffin I guess!

Dreading Christmas... the outlaws (XH's parents) are doing dinner, and XH isn't going, so I'm taking the kids... ergh! but at least they get to see the other side of their family, as XH won't be going there for Christmas! He wants them for a few hours Christmas Day morning, which is fine, and I'm giving him an extra weekend because he's going away. Actually it works out at two extra weekends, but I can't be bothered arguing with him!

I'd LURVE to move out of my parents' house, they're driving me batty, but can't afford it just yet!

How are the rest of us travelling?
