Interestingly, she has proposed a separation date of March 2020 - so three years ago...?

But WHY? WE NEED TO KNOW!!!!! There’s some reason she chose that date. It’s infuriating not knowing!!!!

Hey man. I wish I knew.

Roderick, do you have any NS&I premium bonds?
If you do, check if any have won...

I don't have any, but it's a good thought. Maybe she won an accumulator on the horses and didn't tell me.

Anyway, for those still playing along at home, I managed to conclude everything with solicitors, as did my (ex) wife. She now has her moving in date, and has buggered off to Thailand for a friend's wedding in the interim. The chickens and I are now home alone, she has emptied a fair portion of the fixtures and fittings, and will no doubt now proceed to chase me through solicitors for the brand new market value of everything left behind.

My solicitor has said I'm effectively due her nothing, because she has taken a fair proportion (her fair share) of furnishings, and that left behind is considered effectively worthless from a legal point of view, so it should be considered a score draw. I know she won't see it that way, and am prepared for a hopefully brief legal contretemps.

Anyway, I've more than halved the daily gas consumption by turning the heat down to something less lizard-like, so that's one item of good news.
