I was married for 14 years, during which time we split up for a while. She bought a house in her sole name, and when we got back together I paid the mortgage and for most of the things in the house since she was at college.

I am regarded as a freelance, part-time worker who is self-employed. My working hours are erratic, but it often means seven-day weeks at up to 70 hours a week.

It is not pleasant to be injured in a road traffic accident but for those who are unfortunate enough to be a victim, there is some good news on the horizon. As from the 30 April 2010 a new streamlined process is being introduced to benefit those who are injured through no fault of their own. The aim of the new process is to dispose of claims quickly and cost effectively where there is no dispute that another party is liable and they are insured. The new procedure will relate to claims of between £1,000.00 and £10,000.00 containing an element of personal injury.

I worked in a local butchers for five months until I had to take a week off sick, at which point they sacked me with no written warning or anything.
