Can’t make it tonight, work has thrown a trip at me. Can you keep her?
That is the third Friday running. She has had her bag by the door since breakfast.
I know. I will make it up in half term, promise.

James, February maintenance never arrived. The trip deposit comes out this week.
I will send it Friday.
Friday · 6 March 2026
Friday has been and gone. Nothing in the account.
I will send it when I can.
Earlier version 23:40: Sorry, I know it is three months now. I will transfer the full £600 by the end of the week, you have my word.
You have edited that. An hour ago it said three months and £600.

Emily has grown out of her shoes, they were splitting at the toe. New shoes and PE kit.
£65.50. Half of that is yours under the agreement.
You could have bought cheaper ones.

£300 has landed instead of £600. Reference says maintenance may part.
That is what I have this month. The rest when my invoice clears.
I am writing this down, because May makes it four months in a row.

Not having Emily this weekend. I am away.
She has been counting down to this weekend for a month. You can tell her yourself.
Fine, I know it is my weekend and I know I let her down. I will send the rest of the maintenance Monday and take her the weekend after.
