Yet another reason to move to Canada

When Ron and I seperated, it went way up, when we moved to New Brunswick, I wrote in and told them that I was living with my husband again (it's suppose to go down), well they never stopped giving me the "seperated" amount, and after another larger then should be payment today, I called in because thinking eventually it's going to catch up with me and I'm going to be owing a lot of money, and with me not working, that wouldn't be good.
I was told because we changed are status in the middle of the year, that I'm still entitled to that "seperated" amount until the end of the year..............
YEAH FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so worried that Christmas was going to be tight this year (again with me not working) and with these 2 extra payments I'll be able to get Ron a gift also, and donate to the usual charities this year.
I can't even begin to explain how relieved I am.

Nice area also.. PM me sometime and we could chat!! Do you have family here??
CantWait replied:
Gosh no. We're military so all my family is back in Ontario.
sparkys2boys replied:
Ahhh, sorry. I didn't know that. I'm still new and getting to know people. How long have you been in N.B. for now?
CantWait replied:
don't be sorry.
Last time was 8 months, only because of course. This time we're expected to be here longer, and we just got here in July.
