Flipin eck

All I wanted is a copy of the photos my mate has of MY kids.

I didnt want a fucking slagging match. I am only allowed to have them on the basis that my DH is not allowed to have copies of the ones with HER son in. Why the hell would I give anyone photos of her son?? I dont even want them.

It wouldnt be so bad if she just de-friended him on Facebook and took the photos off the same site!

Jesus.

I asked her way she didnt want him to have copies and all I got was.

"because he is a prick and I dont want him to have anything to do with me or mine."

He has done NOTHING to warrent that response from her. FFS.

Do you know what? sod it, I'm getting the photos and thats it. I cant be bothered with this crap.

minimammoth · 24/08/2010 17:02

It is starting to sound like that isnt it? Oh well.

Congratulations on the good MRI scan. Hopefully you can put it behind you and move on now.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 24/08/2010 19:43

It was awful, I realised that I didn't know any phone numbers, I would have to walk home in the rain and pray that MIL was in.
So chuffed it was handed in. Smile

IPOM, your friend doesn't sound very friendly tbh.

Welcome back Plum Grin Glad you had a good time, how was the weather?

Have done nothing this morning really, wc has been round.

Ipom does she have some kind of misguided loyalty to you after he left the way he did? Would be a better friend if she was supportive towards you and happy for you that things are working out though.

Mini enjoy your holiday time, great news about your dh Smile

FreakoidOrganisoid · 28/08/2010 16:02

Ummm I wasn't going to tell you this because I don't feel good about it but I have now mentioned it on another thread so thought I had better tell you firsthand in case you see it there and get cross with me Wink

Sooo when wc came over on weds there was an incident where a hug turned into a bit more and we had a semi snog Blush

This is largely why I have been in a bad mood since then a) I feel really guilty, b) I know nothing is going to come of it, c) it has got me thinking about him in that way again, d) I feel like a bitch.

So now you know. Please don't hate me...
