Is anyone here better off financially since TB came to power out of interest?
Or is it just me...
I shudder at the alternatives, who was it that charged for school dinners and cut the free milk?
Not TB!
Not that I support Labour or Tory as it stands.
I have been able to buy more apples since 1997
And even the odd organic potato.

I mean lies about your circumstances - why would you tell us what your DH has done to you over the years (appalling) and then lead him onto here to say the things he did - do you think we would want someone like him reading and posting in here (well others might but I would rather people liek that didn't) - his life may have been sad at one time but I would rather live in a railway carriage than be beaten by him - god for you to hold him up as a great person and say how he has turned his life around makes me sick when he is the sort of man that beats you.

Twinkie · 23/02/2004 16:19

God you have the most warped sense of what is right and wrong and people's feelings!!

He may be a parent but he is also a wife beater and someone I would rather not converse with.

And as for SS - he is not a wife beater, but seems an ok guy from his posts that I have read - DL is, he admitted it, he is also a biggot and a bully and a horrid sneaky little man - and you saw where that got him.

...a leopard can change it's spots... if we never forgive people when they are making a big effort to do something about their problem (nobody is perfect)...and their behaviour has changed...(it can happen, not just in books), then would rather look at a someone's behaviour today, the steps they are obviously making not to do what they have been doing and eventually forgive them....internet chatting will never gives someone's personality away totally but I do think trying is better than nothing and apologising for the things you've done...why does saying sorry and stopping the bad things you have done in your life make you such a bad person.... --- help anyone who did wrong and was never forgiven..we are only human and make mistakes (perhaps some people never do anything wrong)

Thankyou for putting so well Twinkie what I tried to earlier.

mumsnet should be a "safe" place for parents to chat not a place where violent and abusive people are allowed to express their views imo. Their views to me are irrelevant to this, it's the fact that such a person is wishing to discuss anything here and been encouraged to. It could be the weather even.

Thats my opinion anyway although i see how it could go against the idea of anyone being allowed to contribute.

hercules · 23/02/2004 16:30

Lavender, there is a difference in someone stealing or doing other such things and beating his wife lots of times and threatening his children!

Twinkie · 23/02/2004 16:31

Heard the old saying 'A leopard never changes its spots'!!!!!!

lavender1 · 23/02/2004 16:37

nobody has threatened children (wrote message on other thread wrong...he said that to...would never say that to his own son)....this thread is getting off the fruit and veg discussion here, am not even going to say anything about the last message.(re: stealing etc)..everyone has their own situation and nobody has a perfect life...(actually stealing is very wrong but in a different way).....all I can say is if anyone's marriage has problems like ours HAS HAD I hope you find a way to sort it out...marriage isn't a bed of roses all the time and forgiveness and trying to improve oneself has to be good

lavender1 · 23/02/2004 16:42

Yes, I have but we can do anything IF WE PUT OUR MIND TO IT , marriage is no longer otr, we are moving on, will be married for many many years because when we have low points we help each other...Forgiveness is good

lavender1 · 23/02/2004 16:43

sorry thread has got a bit sidetracked, fruit and veg thread please continue

katierocket · 23/02/2004 17:00

I find lavender1's posts decidedly odd.

lavender1 · 23/02/2004 17:02

yes, am very odd too...fruit and veg discussion continue............

misdee · 23/02/2004 18:28

i'm off to have my meat and free/three veg.

misdee · 23/02/2004 18:30

after being friends of victims of abuse i hate the idea that someone like their ex's is posting on here too. shudders

lavender1 · 23/02/2004 18:47

Why don't you re:read the last few messages !..it's a free website TO parents..(dh posted as I'd been on here so much wanted to know what all fuss was about)...(you can never know a person on a chat room)...why keep discussing this..it is fruit and veg after all...how would you like it if I kept bringing up your personal stuff every time I didn't like what you were saying ???(a discussion is OPEN to disagreement) ...

kiwisbird · 23/02/2004 18:57

no one knows my personal stuff to hit me back with

tigermoth · 23/02/2004 19:47

Why can't your partner post in another name lavender1 and not pinch yours? It is downright confusing.

But I find it unsettling that he is here discussing in the first place - and not because he is a man or someone's partner - I can see what Twinkie and Hercules are getting at.

Something strange is going on here

lavender1 · 23/02/2004 20:18

Please can we leave my personal life alone my dh only posted 2-3 times...I have asked you nicely to stop mentioning my personal details, over and over again....please can you stop...thank-youfruit and veg continue...........

Chinchilla · 23/02/2004 20:20

Lavendar - why are we allowed to know the ins and outs of your personal life, but only when YOU want to talk about it. Let's face it, you've spilled your life out to us, and then allowed your dh to post on here, expecting us to be welcoming. You really are naive if you think that we will just move on and forget about it! Sorry and all that.

lavender1 · 23/02/2004 20:24

Well good bye and am sorry that you cannot respect my wishes>

Chinchilla · 23/02/2004 20:24

FFS

lavender1 · 23/02/2004 20:25

don't expect you to forget but please can we talk about something else?

JanH · 23/02/2004 20:35

lavender, continually sprinkling your messages with smiley faces makes their tone seem worse, if anything. I'd stop digging and stay off this thread if it was me.

lavender1 · 23/02/2004 20:41

if people are asking questions I naturally answer...the smiley faces is because I have asked nicely...why can't people leave my personal stuff alone...this is a fruit and veg thread...please let it continue to be that only, thank-you..........

misdee · 23/02/2004 20:43

sorry lavender, i cant forgot. you and your dh are some of the most annoying people on this thread. u have annoyed me with your attitude, and then your dh coming on here basically saying he was worse off than me (excuse me, but you dont know my life at all), and then to say just forgot it. yeah right. and to go on at stupidgirl for her chioce to home educate her kids rather than work for minimum wage.

anyway back to fruit and veg
