heres my opinion, tho maybe i'm too cynical.
'after' checking to see if the money has been paid into
wherever it goes,
i'd be on the phone first thing monday morning to see
what you're supposed to do about it not being paid on the
due date as per court ordered by the judge.
i see no point in waiting. the police or whoever take
enough time doing things at their end to account for some
leeway to the woman.
giving her 5 extra days leaves it til xmas eve will run
into 3 weeks til after new years no doubt and then some.
the courts and police will be busy with all the drunk
drivers from the seasons festivitys to deal with and your
money will seem a pittance to them.
if you dont follow up on what the court ordered who else
is going to?
a single call to see what happens now cant hurt anyone.
sure 'tis the season to be jolly' and you'd be a lot
jollier with that money that is waaaaaay past due to you
in your hot little hands to visit the LQS and stock up on
some prezzies for yourself.
oh sorry, i mean to pay some bills that need paying.
just do NOT give her the dress til you get the money from
her or you'll never get any peace.
i'd not trust someone like that.
bah humbug to her i say.

DH pointed out to me the other day that my landlord
never installed
the gas valve on the stove line, so unhooking the old
one and hooking
in a new one is going to be an adventure.

Since that would be
Saturday, I was wondering if you'd heard anything?
Fingers crossed it's
sitting there at the courthouse waiting for you to pick
up your check!
Don't keep us in suspense! VBG

So far nothing.
I made a mark on the calendar on the 20th so I can try
to put it as
far out of my mind as is reasonable during the holiday
busyness.
Though every time I have to reach into the broiler to
light the oven,
or try to coax more than one burner at a time into life
on the
stovetop, I tend to think about it! I figure any and
all excuses can
be cast aside if I give five days bonus to her. Plus it
gives a due
amount of consideration to holiday mail clogs, and etc.
I would guess
that she would wait until the very last second to send
it.
At least I have heard nothing about appeals or other
such stuff.
