Donkey cock hahahaha might call him that when I greet him at the airport tomorrow hehehehe!

Durdle · 18/08/2007 16:01

He's staying in my house for the week whilst I stay with DP. Just done a Tesco shop online to be delivered the first day he's there so I can be sure that at least he's got food to feed her! Question is....will he remember?

cool nuttie that all sounds great Xx

similar to me!

allgonebellyup · 18/08/2007 16:05

durdle - i am such a shit mum that when i went on hols with my mates for 4 days i left no food in the house for the kids!!
ooops my ex has even more ammunition to use against me now..

Durdle · 18/08/2007 16:08

Oooh a saint... I like it! DP is not too happy about it- thinks I am making it too easy for him but I guess I'm just desperate to salvage their relationship and DD is soooo excited about him coming.

I'm worried about her when he leaves though. Especially as 3 days after he leaves we're moving in with DP in a new house so its going to be a lot of change for her.

Any advice?

Durdle · 18/08/2007 16:09

allgonebellyup- haha you must have been too excited to get away!

nutcracker · 18/08/2007 16:17

What are you doing at uni bellyup ?

PG, just read your update and couldn't think of anything nice to say, so didn't say anything LOL.

Durdle - You are very good letting your xp stay in your home, I couldn't do that.

God my kids are driving me nuts, squabble squabble squabble.

allgonebellyup · 18/08/2007 16:24

well at first i wanted to do midwifery but theres no way i could do night shifts and be on call etc, as have no help!

so hoping to do speech and language therapy next yr, if i get accepted.

nutcracker · 18/08/2007 16:27

I looked into speech and language therapy but was worried that i'd do it and then there not be any jobs at the end.

I have specifically applied for the part time access course over 2 years because then when I eventually go to uni, my mum will be approaching retirement and has said she is more than happy to have the kids as often as I need her too, so I could do shift work then if I had to.

allgonebellyup · 18/08/2007 16:28

cool that sounds fab, your mum is a diamond!

nutcracker · 18/08/2007 16:37

Just realised that my comment about speech therapy sounded very pessamistic and there you are applying next year, sorry, was not meant to come over that way.
