So the tales of woe continue.
Yesterday, please remember we are in half term and this guy is out of work and has two school age children, I suggested that he might like to spend the day with his kids. Not unreasonable and considering the flack I've been getting about keeping them away from him, I foolishly thought a day with them would be what he wanted....how wrong I was.
He did turn up, that's a start. He did manage to put up the trampoline they have been so excited about all week...gold star. And then he let himself down. You see instead of spending the day actually playing with the kids....he sat in my office on the phoen to his grlfriend.
She clearly wound him up. I was 200 miles away in a business meeting with my mobile phone going into melt down with txt's and missed calls.
So as I came out of the session I called....
'I can't find a job' you could try McDonald's - I so wanted to say it but hey that would be cruel.....
'and we're running out of money'
Remember this guy has been on my back to let him have a day with his kids and had spent the majority of that time on the phone....
'so when can I have my cash? I'm not bothered about the divorce papers, just the cash'
As I took a deep breath I once again explained that the legal wheels were turning. He would get his cash once he has signed over the house....and not a moment before.
Personally I have no idea where the paperwork is right now. It's been through my guys and has been dispatched....the poor chap didn't realise it is infact himself that is holding up the process!!!
So on to today....a beautiful day filled with children's laughter and much chatter about a fun packed weekend.....and then the phone rang.
'I want to see them on Sunday, but I've got no money so I was thinkig I could come round for lunch'
Yep, you read that correctly.
How do you politely say - 'SOD OFF YOU STUPID MAN! YOU@VE BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELF. GET A JOB AND SORT YOURSELF OUT.....answers on a postcard....
