Apologies for the protracted gaps in participation, but the current divorce and custody proceedings I'm experiencing are really taking all my energy and then some. Today the court issued a decree nisi so it doesn't look like there'll be a last minute reconciliation - and I get stuck with the costs.

It's not been a good few months really:

Divorce Proceedings 1
Custody Battles: 2
Vehicles Written Off In Accidents: 2 (one for Sal and one for me)
Jobs Quit Due To Disagreements With The Board: 1
Social Services Investigations: 1
Major Roof Repairs: 1

There were probably some good things happening in there too (Rhi and Alex both did very well at school, for example). They're just not occurring to me right now.

Thanks to those who have offered support, legal advice, diversions, sympathy sex, stories, and chocolate. You know who you are.
