... In any form. I'm not asking for all his money to go off and spend as I like. But SOMETHING towards his keep would help. And how do I ask him NOW after we have lived together on and off (more off than on TBH) for nearly a year?? HELP someone. Need kick up the backside or somehting please??

Your ? key seems to be on it's last legs too. Shame.

Maybe if you sell the PS3 you can afford a new one.

caramelwaffle · 03/05/2009 22:47

Oh dear, fumble. You silly, silly woman.

I have so much to say but shall keep it brief.

I am, in real life, apparently "a bit of a (expletives removed) snob."

Working poor, I am (emphesis on the hard working) I work hard to pay my mortgage and educate my daughter and provide for trust funds for my daughter (I go without new things for me personally to be able to do this). I have literally cried over the amount of tax I pay.
I am very vocal on my hatred of "career dolites and their f**ing dolite dogs. Why oh why does every f*ing career dolite have money for dogs/cigarettes/alcohol/holidays i can't go on"

But I'll tell you something. You would expect me in RL/on mumsnet to totally agree with you and paint Grumpy in this light. I don't.

I am still 100% in support of Grumpy getting rid of the cocklodger.

ITS AMAZING ISNT IT SOMEONE DOESNT AGREE WITH GRUMPY AND THEN THAT PERSON IS HER EX???

AND YOU RECKON IM MAD??

SO JUST WHAT DOES ALL HER MONEY GO ON??? DOES SHE WASTE IT ALL THATS WHY SHE IS MOANING??? DONT ANY OF YOU UNDERSTAND IF YOU LIVE TOGETHER YOU CLAIM TOGETHER!

WHAT GRUMPY WAS DOING WAS SENDING A SIGNAL TO HER EX THAT SHE REALLY DIDNT WANT HIM THERE!!! IRRESPECTIVE ODF ANYTHING ELSE THE ISSUE IN THIS POST IS ABOUT FINANCES AND THATS WHAT I WAS FOCUSSING ON!

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 03/05/2009 22:51

Good staying power there, StayFrosty, how long did it take to read the lot? And with how many refreshes?

fruitbeard · 03/05/2009 22:52

note to Fumble - Fruitbeard is all one word.

I'd noted that you can neither spell nor punctuate, perhaps you have reading difficulties too.

Obviously that's why the

OFF YOU FUCK, DEAR

messages are going over your head.....

(still want to know about the secret Swiss bank account where Grumpymoo's had her stolen benefit millions channelled to - WELL?????)

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 03/05/2009 22:53

Oh fumble, please, don't you see that we ALL understand how pathetic you are? If you're not Grumpy's ex, why are you still here defending the indefensible?

I think you have VSP syndrome.

ataraxis · 03/05/2009 22:53

Fumble, I ask you again, please outline in a clear and comprehensive manner - what exactly is your problem?

That someone who needs it is getting support online?

That she was hacked off to be paying for everything?

That she had had enough of him treating her children as second class citizens?

That she wanted to be rid of the twat?

Where on earth do you get the 'benefits cheat' thing from?

Despite the thread title, it clearly wasn't just about money.
Or do you just get a kick from this kind of thing?

FairLadyRantALot · 03/05/2009 22:54

rofl at what does she s[pend all her money on...because there is so muhc...so supporting him is really not the thing to be done...whilst he spends it elsewhere....

stercus If you are reading this? Somewhere back in the beginning of this thread soembody mentioned to me the things you went through. I wanted to say that I think YOU have been the strong one here. the brave person. the one to look up to in all this1 I have been only working on desperation That and the need for my son to eventually (he's 10 iyswim ) grow up sane and normal. A decent man,

What I posted earlier about my DP being good for my children was to do with the consistancy that frim parenting brings. When firm consistency becomes irrational and a case of 'do as i say when I say it for no other resaon than that i'm saying it'?? That just isn;t good enough for me.

Fairness and having a reason for things being done or not done is what makes kids understand the world around them and how they fit into it! Mind you my kids know by now that someimtes, just sometimes the reason comes AFTER the event and not before!

And telling kids that that spot on the sofa is a no go area even when the person who claims it to be his seat iosn;t even in the room let alone the house?? CRAZY!!! Loony! Best off rid.

ooops! Oh look already am!

Ataraxis DO WE really know if what grumpy has said is all real?? goes back to an earlier post!

Grumpys belief is her belief but isnt it interesting how people CAN't make their own judgements without these wonderful er discussion boards??? pmsl

Sycamoretree · 03/05/2009 22:58

Apologies to OP if I'm wrong, but I've just read this whole thread and I just smell something...trolly fishy.

caramelwaffle · 03/05/2009 22:59

Oh Oldlady. You do make me giggle.

Fumble is incandescent with rage at the notion of Grumpy working the system.

Again

""Hmmmm.

Perhaps the twat having to move back in with his wife has messed up HER (and his?) plans for her to be claiming to be single - and therefore receiving Housing Benefit/Council tax benefit/single parent tax credits etc etc
(and having their mortgage paid by the Government/us mugs

Just a thought. Ho hum."

Puerile (sic) I know

fumble · 03/05/2009 23:00

Sycamore if you have read the whole post then all of the post is fishey because there is never just one person at fault

Sycamoretree · 03/05/2009 23:00

I think you are the OP fumble.

FairLadyRantALot · 03/05/2009 23:01

sometimes it helps to have other peoples opinion, and sometimes iut helps if you don't know the people...

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 03/05/2009 23:02

Sycamoretree, I think you're wrong.

ataraxis · 03/05/2009 23:02

Fumble, no, we don't. But is it so bad to give people the benefit of the doubt sometimes? Surely better than giving them a kicking just for the hell of it.

And you still haven't answered my question.

GrumpyMoo · 03/05/2009 23:04

Was I wrong to say earlier that my ex's problems seem to be the same as fumbles ie I was asking him to contribute not the other way round? Me giving HIM my money? Maybe that is why he has such a bee in his bonnet. Because it was MY money and I wasn;t handing it all over to HIM!

OP posts:
OldLadyKnowsNothing · 03/05/2009 23:04

Fumble doesn't answer questions, because he's a cocklodger impotent with fury.

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 03/05/2009 23:05

I think you're right, Grumpy, your ex has very, very serious ishoos and you're seriously well-shot of him.
