See that? A Twelfth. Not the.

Welcome to the twelfth (it DOES look a weird word Confused) thread that nobody responds to! We're a fun bunch, the most fun on mumsnet!! I cba to list everyone and who they are, but I'm sure newbies will get to know us through our posts Wink A couple of quotes from posters, which will have to do as opposed to me writing a description of everyone:

I'd like the words mysterious, mystical and endowed with supetnatural powers after my name please, AGL. says Bettercallsaul1

MyDressIsInferiorBlue adds:
Get a battery operated rabbit they are less trouble than a man but can still thrust (and always on demand too, unlike a man)

AGL I'd like the words 'hot', 'intellectual' and 'witty' after my name, please. No 'flouncing', 'dunno' or 'Co-Op Boy' (the latter is well and truly over). says ItShouldHaveBeenJess, as well as being quoted telling us:
I'd be happy with a thrust. Just one.

Let the insane posts, photos and pouting begin!

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 03/09/2016 00:25

annie. She just vanished! And I genuinely do miss her.

carb. Why would you post a cat pic? Am dangerously close to getting one....

HelenaDove · 03/09/2016 00:28

its great having a cat. I havent been to the cinema in YEARS Last thing was with an ex back in 1991 He wanted to see Terminator 2.

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 03/09/2016 00:28

Did somebody privately message her? Or have I imagined that?

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 03/09/2016 00:29

Oh and what's this about a new Bridget Jones? I'd like to see that.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 03/09/2016 00:44

blue (my awesome blue). I think being PM'd her.

Helena last time I went to the cinema was to see 'The Village'. Back when I had a naice boyfriend.

VanillaSugar · 03/09/2016 00:47

Hi back again. Had to charge up the phone in a other room and then coincidentally watched..... Bridget Jones!!

The new film is out on 16 September. Itstbased on the newspaper column that Helen Fielding resurrected in the Daily Telegraph after the 2nd film. It's called Bridget Jones's Baby.

I wish they hadn't made that film but had gone straight off to filming the last book which is closure.

VanillaSugar · 03/09/2016 00:48

Mad About the Boy. It's a good book. Sad, but good.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 03/09/2016 00:54

I recently read Mad About the Boy, Vanilla. Was appalled they killed off Colin Mark.

AGL. At least you're awake. I can't sleep. Really don't want ex at DS's first day at school. Am thinking of doing an AIBU. But is the middle of the night.

HelenaDove · 03/09/2016 02:14

Tell him Jess. You are the primary carer of DS. Thanks if you do do a thread and i dont reply it will only be cos ive got to shut my laptop in a few mins

AverageGayLad · 03/09/2016 02:14

I'm right here Jess :)

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 03/09/2016 02:15

Thanks, Helena. Don't know why I'm so upset by it; it's only one day.

HelenaDove · 03/09/2016 02:18

Because he is wanting all his own way playing at being the Daddy without the bit involving the harder work and it must be niggling at you.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 03/09/2016 02:19

Thanks guys. Am really stressing about it but am not really sure why. Am a single parent now, and fine with that.

It's the constant 'dropping in' whenever it suits that is bothering me.

I truly wish he'd just fuck off.

AverageGayLad · 03/09/2016 02:19

You sound like such a great mum, Jess, DS is lucky to have you!

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 03/09/2016 02:22

AGL and Helena. Bless you both. Will try to go back to sleep. At least I have ex-free weekend!

HelenaDove · 03/09/2016 02:23

You are a great mum Jess.

There needs to be arrangements made with times and dates and boundaries set which he will HAVE to stick to.

And he should be parenting on his own during his contact time or are you reluctant to let him due to his weed habit which i wouldnt blame you for.

HelenaDove · 03/09/2016 02:24

night Jess.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 03/09/2016 06:55

Good morning! I have tried to catch up with yesterday's conversations.

Vanilla, why would my dad know about the legalities of putting things through letterboxes? Confused

I am so pleased to be FB famous again. Grin

Welcome Polly! It's always nice to have new members of the gang.

To Blue, Vanilla, Jess, Portia, there really is nothing I can say that the others haven't. I love you all and I am so in awe of how strong you are in such hard situations. Flowers I don't really have much experience, I'm not sure if this counts. I had an ex (well not really an ex as we were never a couple and he had a girlfriend Blush ) who told me anything he thought I wanted to hear just to have sex with me. When I then pushed for more than just sex, he said no and that he had been meaning to tell me that he still loves his gf. We decided to stay friends because I am an idiot and he started trying to get me into bed again. Luckily I spotted this and told him to leave me alone and that actually we couldn't be friends. I was only 18 at the time. He was 24. I don't think it was emotional abuse by any means, but I do think it was maybe grooming. It started off as friends and then he slowly moved it from that to asking for pictures of me and Skype calls to sex. He was my scout leader. Sad I wasn't the first girl either. He did the same to one of my friends but I didn't believe her when she told me. He had a way of making you believe him and he was very charismatic. I doubt I was the last girl either.

Bettercallsaul1 · 03/09/2016 08:50

Being I can't find her post now but I think Vanilla meant your fiancé, not your father. He's a policeman, isn't he?

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 03/09/2016 08:54

Ah, yes. Probably did mean my DP. Grin I was massively confused then.

Bettercallsaul1 · 03/09/2016 08:56

That was a horrible experience, Being - very exploitative and self-serving on his part. I'm glad you're past that now and have such a great relationship and lovely DD. He won't end well, you can be sure of that. That sort of manipulative behaviour always backfires in the end.

VanillaSugar · 03/09/2016 09:02

Being and Better my pols - I wrote DF and meant darling fiance and totally forgot that it meant darling father! Blush.

I suppose the law comes into it when a childish "prank" becomes "harassment."

But ShockShock at your scout leader!!! Ok, he's young - but he's in a position of authority and trust which he is clearly abusing. Angry
