thanks for all the advice,i think i may be ok for the dogs after speaking to my old man.
and thanks for the offers im not really one to take help even off people i know well,but it's good to know there's good people about.
my family live in formby in merseyside,but my ex is from north yorkshire.
and as for what do i do for a living,got out of the army in april and took the first job i could get,which happend to be a paki shop.
so at least i can quit that now.
