oh shit monty that's so sad and wrong to hear that it all comes down to bloody pennies
i struggle to find words tbh
it was hard enough to hear about this when i was a child and it concerned other dcs' mums but now as a mum myself it really hits home hard

Ninah - lol at chandeliers.

DF's organs all ok which is great. It's over 2 years since the original diagnosis, I was saying here it was 18 months. Where the hell does time go?? I hope Coalition keeps their word on it. Angry

NN, thanks for listening. Smile

Monty100 · 13/08/2010 00:57

ASBM - xpost again.

DF's dd (17) was there when I went round. Your heart goes out to the families too.

Everything crossed. (no pun intended but I will be praying to God if there is one).

DF's exh was there when I went round, he's lovely and very brave in front of her but I've spoken to him on his own on several occasions and well, you can imagine can't you........

Monty100 · 13/08/2010 00:59

DF'S DH NOT EXH Lol

Confused

I'm so used to typing exh omg. Grin

Dp said he felt ok earlier but needs saving now

I told him it better not ruin our evening later

Lol

Betty79 · 13/08/2010 11:42

asbm-yeah suppose thing are quite serious with bm, and yes exh does now about him. I told him just before he came home on leave.

I really dont think he knew this moman before, reason being that he did a similar thing about 18 months ago, the first weekend he ever had dd's he took them away for wkend and told me when he came back that he had took his gf with them, but they had only been together 2 weeks. And this time he hasnt told me that he knew her before, although I wonder if maybe they had been chatting from one of the dating sites and arranged a meet up? Cos he was out of the country since easter and only came back on the fri before taking the kids away mon. Anyway all I can do for now is say that he can see them but not overnight, shame for kids and makes me feel like the bad person!

lou-lol at dp :) hope he feels more human later. Have u got much planned?

monty-sorry to hear about df :( must be very hard

I should have known better than to order a new carpet on friday the 13th! Bloody thing was faulty so they have had to order another one to come monday when I'm at work grr!

ninah · 13/08/2010 13:17

oh it is fri 13th isn't it
that'll be why my bed hasn't turned up then

ninah · 13/08/2010 13:25

I've packed my car, partially, and already it's groaning at the seams
anyone know how important it is to put extra air in your wheels if you will be carrying heavy stuff? it's not a job I enjoy
Is it something you must do, or just for anals?
and more importantly - eve, how did it go?

Betty79 · 13/08/2010 13:51

ninah-i would put a bit extra air in tyres if you are going far!

Monty100 · 13/08/2010 13:55

Do tyres have to have air put in? Confused

Ninah, you going tomorrow?

Eve - hope date goes well.

Betty - how typical is that?

Hi everyone else.

Kept wondering why no-one had posted on thread 23 since last night. Doh!!

Just marking my spot and yes it must be Friday 13th as I appear to have sewage in my back garden. Shock We have noticed a weird smell in the kitchen for a couple of days and there seems to be a source of dirty wate coming from near the fence and what looks like mushy tissue in the garden. Vom

However it doesn't seem to be coming from our drains.

Rang Thames Water who can come to see to it but if it isn't their fault they charge and I don't have cash atm. So have rung landlord to see what to do - Thames Water wanted him to ring them. Trouble is it might be coming from another house.

I really hate all this whose reponsibility is it crap (no pun intended). It's like when you report phone line not working.

I am crap in these situations - this is when it would be nice to have a man around (although as I have said before exh not really very good in situations like that as he didn't like getting hands dirty).

So happy f*ing friday. Actually as long as I shut the back door I can pretend it isn't happening.

lou33 · 13/08/2010 15:06

my mind is boggling at putting air in your anals

we dont have much planned, but the kids are actually with their father as we speak, so even staying in without them sounds like heaven on earth

he has to work tomorrow as well, from 7.30 ish until 2pm, so we cant go too crazy

i have a feeling tonight will involve him whimpering on the sofa until he falls asleep and snores loudly

to be fair he doesnt need much booze to get pissed, and he rarely does it, plus he works so hard, so no harm done

when he realised i wouldnt have the kids tomorrow til the afternoon, he thought it would be a great idea if i went with him to work

when i stopped laughing and realised he was serious, i had to break it to him that sadly i would have to be back home before he clocked off, so he would have to go alone

he was actually a bit disappointed bless him

i wasnt, i can think of other things i would rather do on a rare day without kids, aside from getting up at 7 am and sitting in a recovery truck driving about london, losing the will to live

what is quite funny, is that his exw used to insist on going to work with him on the saturdays he was working, and it used to drive him nuts, yet he wanted me to join him

who says romance is dead Grin

anyway i have dropped the kids, so it is just me and the animals for now

being the kindly soul i am, i bought a card from them for his birthday tomorrow, and stuffed a voucher in it for a tenner

i dont know what to do for the few hours i have alone now, guess the washing up beckons lol

sincitylover · 13/08/2010 15:20

yes it's such a shock when you get a bit of free time it's hard to know what to do I find.

Eve have fun

Yes lol at tyre in anals??

aseriouslyblondemoment · 13/08/2010 15:53

lou you are too nice for your own good,exh deserves jack...

lou33 · 13/08/2010 15:57

aseriouslyblondemoment · 13/08/2010 15:59

lou33 · 13/08/2010 16:03

aseriouslyblondemoment · 13/08/2010 16:07

why not take the 'with kindness' bit outGrin
btw how does he get on with dp?

lou33 · 13/08/2010 16:07

on sunday afternoon

the kids are getting slightly hysterical at the thought

aseriouslyblondemoment · 13/08/2010 16:08

x postGrin
i bet they are lol

lou33 · 13/08/2010 16:10

the thought has crossed my mind

dp thinks he is a first class prick, exh seems to quite like dp tho from what i can gather

they dont really have much to do with each other tho, which is fine by me

aseriouslyblondemoment · 13/08/2010 16:15

yep my dp thinks the same thing about exh
tho xh told him that he was glad that i'd met someone like himShockConfused
glad that you've got a few hours break,so have i this aft
the school hols are really killing me this year

lou33 · 13/08/2010 16:19

oh me too

dp would happily punch exh in the face i think, but obv wont because of the kids

but he gets v irate about his general shitness
