Hi all

Isn't is sooooo nice when you find things out about an ex and you think 'Thank %£*& for that'? .
DD1 is still friends with exbf's DS1. They are both 15. His son was supposed to be coming over here between 9 and 10 this morning; his father was dropping him off. Exbf's new girlfriend is staying with him for a few days and she has her 3 year old with her. All well and good (I have no feelings either way about ex, except that he's a twat, so none of this bothers me). But his DS text my DD to say that his Dad and his Dad's gf got so drunk last night that they couldn't get out of bed this morning so he couldn't come over. Apart from me being annoyed on DD's behalf as he had spoilt her plans (the 2 of them were going to a friends house as it's his 16th today), I was also absolutely aghast that they could get so drunk while her 3 year old was in the house. He also has an 11 year old. I've seen him when he's drunk and it's not pretty...last time he was drunk I had to scrape his vomit off the ceiling (yes the ceiling) and walls. Nice for the little girl who is in their care eh?
There but for the grace of God and all that...
