shattered, it is nice enough you let your dp sleep in.

In my house, having a lie in means being shielded from being dragged out of bed by los. Not any shielding from noise. Though your dp is free to close the bedroom door.

Well, I don't see the time thing being an issue here if he promised to do something with the DC's but they were at football training for ten what could he do before then?

If you had come home after training and he still hadn't got up then as I said, wake him, there would still have been plenty of time.

The money thing, then fine, but didn't you say you would have gone out if you'd have known?

Yeah I could of gone around my friends house and spent nothing but I thought we would be stopping in together and be skint but happy in each others company. Anyway he got up around 12 and we all went to the park in the rain with our bikes for an hour. Better than nothing I supose. Its the money thing that annoyed me. His night must of cost £50!

erm you are lucky mine is still in bed and cant even remember who was at the party with him or what time he got in!

he thinks it was four! my alarm is set to go off at 8am and wasnt much more before that so i would say 6:30 earliest!!!

anyway he has sent text message for painkillers so he is suffering!

God I agree, why is it ok for people with kids think its ok to do this, (unless pre-arranged obviously).

Last night I spent from 9pm to 4am at the hospital to support my boyfriend and his family (bereavement) then got up 9am and travelled 3 hours on public transport so I could get home in time to care for my DS when his Dad (XP) bought him back.

So frankly I don't have too much sympathy right now for some daft bloke with a hangover!

Sorry for your bereavement Janos. I agree, in fact I am going to talk to him about his drinking today. It seems to be creeping up and up. This happens every now and again with him. Most of his family were
alcoholics and i do worry for him sometimes.
