I have dates!

No... not THOSE kind of dates. I am in marital purgatory so THOSE dates are not on - YET.
I have a date to see the financial shark specialist, I have a date with the barracuda and the date for the mediator. Mediation begins exactly one month before Christmas. By then I'll be sorted out and ready to rock this out.

The lawyer wanted me to see her before I saw the Shark, but it didn't work out that way. The Shark is going to crunch numbers plus evaluate the stuff I have on the SU. this in turn will help me with a strategy for moving forward on what I want and what I can afford. Equally important as the rest of the legal stuff.

As I reviewed SU's financial documents I had to laugh at some of it. He clearly exaggerated some of his numbers, and I guess that is the game. This is a man who buys his clothes at Zellers and maybe The Bay. I would hazard a guess that his annual spend on clothes is in the $200 range and yet his statement says he spends that in a month. AS IF.

I now see why this stuff gets tense. However until a few months ago he had no clue what any thing cost and now all of a sudden he's Mr.-I-Am-On-Top-Of-The-Bills guy. ok.

For once I have no plans for the weekend. Though I am thinking I have to be a whole more productive than I was last weekend. The paper is out of control and no matter how much I shred, it turns up exponentially in piles everywhere.

Happy weekend!

Good to hear that you have dates. Hopefully this will be wrapped up soon and you can start your new life. It will be wonderful for you.

Papers. Shredding. *sigh* How does it accumulate? I am getting a fire pit for the back yard and am going to use it all for fire starter.

If you find that you have the time and the freedom to chat that would be excellent!

$200/month, that is allocated to JR. Not SU! He's writing her off, gah, what a pigdog....

Glad you have things lined up and ready to go. You will feel much more secure having a good handle on things before the mediation starts.

You will know what you can dangle in front of him and "cave in" on (cough, cough) and what you need to stick to your guns on.

I hope you have a great weekend. We had the first snow flurries (mixed with rain as the first always are) today.
