Sponge - thanks. Sorry about work guy, what a disappointment .

I'm not sure my DP's would have been too pleased that their photo was splashed on fb. I've deactivated myself now, I should have made sure you all had my email or I had yours first. Just thinking of that now. I might re-register under another name but I think Monty would be playing it a bit close to the wind lol.

Sponge, Can you not email him?

Monty, sorry missed that. I hope you have made your feeling clear to 'your friend'. Can you not cull your friends list? Will understand if you dissapear. My fb seems not to be letting friends see photos atm even though I've shared them. Anyone know why they appear on my profile when I view it but when friends look on my profile they arn't there?

Am going to look for strappy same colour sandals and maybe diamonte bag.

Monty100 · 10/06/2010 13:47

Eve - I don't want to get in any rows with anybody so i think this is the easiest way. I prob will re-register under a different name. The idiot who did it was married very briefly to my dnep about 15 years ago and still almost stalks our family especially on fb! I think she tagged the photo from my dsis' fb. Now what dsis was doing with it on there I don't know so I'm cross with both ifyswim. I'll prob have to go back in and grab all your emails and run back out again lol.

Monty100 · 10/06/2010 14:49

Eve - will do.

sponge - sorry about work guy but email him!! thanks about the name, it is a latin version

monty - some 'friend' would agree with what others have suggested about re-registering under a different name

aurorastargazer · 10/06/2010 16:32

have just seen last post and wondered who it was from

betty has bf????? i missed that one

aurorastargazer · 10/06/2010 16:41

got to go now, will try and post tomorrow

ninah · 10/06/2010 17:00

oh the bbcue was one I invited myself and ds to by reading the wrong invitation! was for dd only - but saw the woman giving it today and she was lovely
being a fuckwit has widened my social circle lol
scl i used to work in a basement it was crap esp in winter, as I commuted in to London so it was dark at each end of the day and I had no idea of natural light/weather
hate work politics
my boss atm is a nightmare, you wouldn't believe how petty things can get in a school, I think everyone has regressed to the mental age of the children actually
monty who on earth would do such a thing as that on fb? my parents are no longer either and seeing a picture unexpectedly - well it must have been horrendous
if you do sort it out and stay on how can i find you? asbm has my email, or could I ask her for yours? i'm not very prolific tho I only have about fb friends
don't be surprised if I gatecrash your parties though
pmg how did you get on?

ninah · 10/06/2010 17:05

missed the last of this thread when I posted
ok you are off monty
don't blame you

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 10/06/2010 19:43

hi all, sorry to post about non-dating woes,, but gonna do this and run as bf due over .

ach.. had the job in the bag. they so much as told me at my feedback..

100% in numberical assessment which made them

group assessment i apparently took on "leader" role as a natural.. the blooming verbal reasoning.. i thought they said we had 1 hr 35mins for the paper. so i spent ages reading through the whole paper before beginning.. only.. 30 mins in they announce "last 5 mins"... .. fuck shit, tits .. i scrambled as many answers as possible but sadly not enough. i had misheard the time limit

policy is due to their being 18 people there that they have to be brutal.

met a few of the partners and other managers and hr team... in my feedback they were "dissappointed" i made such a silly error as i had been their preferred choice from the group scenario where the partners of the firm had sat in to observe

i'm thinking whether to chance emailing asking if they will reconsider policy and allow me to repeat in one of the other assessment days they will be running before they decide??

what do you think??

the position will come up again next year.but i'd much rather have any of the scottish position on this years intakes.

thesouthsbelle · 10/06/2010 19:51

evening everyone!

wow the day seems to go so quickly atm.

ninah - what is it you do ahain?

pmg - how did you go fingers crossed you got the result you wanted.

juicy - how's rochester & the job interview been?

monty - can't say I blame ya - how about having it just for MN friends (I know a couple of ladies who have done that with a random flower picture & their MN name and had it as a totally different account.) not surprised you're upset thou.

sponge - could you not find out his number from someone in the office - ie look @ the personnel files?

eve - love the dress.

anyhow gotta run - will finish catching up tomorrow soldiers due any minute and i'm yet to brush my hair! lol.

hope everyone's ok.

Remotew · 10/06/2010 20:06

Oh Juice, what a shame you misheard. I would ring as it won't do any harm but rules are rules. The interview sounds like something off the apprentice. Must be the way larger firms operate. What was the job for?

Thanks for comments on the dress. I know it's not a £200er but it does look lovely on. DD said even if others have similar styles or even the exact same she doesn't mind.

Monty100 · 10/06/2010 20:13

Juice - oh ffs, big commiserations . I would email them and ask them if I could re-sit it. I wouldn't ask them to change their policy though that suggestion may be unwelcome. Wow, big manly slap on the back and a large glass of wine from here.

Ninah - oh I see, you managed to get an invite. Nice one lol. I'll re-register, and of course you can get my emails from ASBM. Talking of which, hope she's ok, I haven't heard from her for a while.

PMG - how did it go?

Belle - you could just have a 'come to bed' look this evening lol. Have a lovely one anyway.

Hi everyone else.

Janos · 10/06/2010 20:31

Oh Juice so sorry to hear that.

I agree with Monty, email because that shows keen-ness and initiative. Go for it.

Janos · 10/06/2010 20:37

eve - that's a lovely dress, absolutely beautiful colour! Jewel like but not gaudy and perfect for a teenager I think.

Monty - how horrible for you see that that. Yuk. She must be a weird and unpleasant woman. Just can't fathom the mindset of someone like that.

pmg - how was court today? Hope it went ok.

Aurora - good to 'see' you again, I like the new name. And thanks for the compliments too.

Monty - I heard from asbm at the weekend, she is ok just vee busy I think.

Belle - hope you had a good eve!

Monty100 · 10/06/2010 20:45

Janos - I've just been in there grabbing all your emails and the pic is still up there, I had to stop myself from saying something. I don't want to start an inter-family war.

I'm going to get a different email a/c for it so will be a while and then you'll be hearing from some weirdo who wants to be your friend lol.

Actually, I think my parents would be mortified. Do you lot think I should ask her to pull it down???

OP posts:
Janos · 10/06/2010 21:20

If it's bothering you then maybe something along the lines of...'Hi X, I'm sure you don't mean to cause any distress but this has upset me. Please can you take it down? Thanks, Monty'

passmyglassplease · 10/06/2010 21:26

evening all, juice sorry to hear it didn't go so well but maybe as Monty says you could do a re-sit?

my day didn't go as well as I would have liked, shitface ex has been bound over until the court decides, next hearing is in August, the Judge opened the proceedings with "I am not here to make a decision" I felt like saying "well what are you here for?, apart from wasting my time"

I am livid cos it looks like I am going to have to some how find some money to get a representative at court

but thats not the least of it, oh no, I also have a date for the 50/50 custody hearing! God I could scream or alternatively medicate myself with booze and fags bring it on.

Janos · 10/06/2010 21:31

Oh no pmg

I too understand the stress of ongoing court hearings (mine was over residency).

If your DC reside mainly or exclusively with you and XP/H has a hisotry of erratic/violent/abusive behaviour he is HIGHLY unlikely to get 50/50 access

at your judge. As you so rightly say, what else are they there for?

As for getting a representative..can you get legal aid?

passmyglassplease · 10/06/2010 21:45

Will be phoning up CAB tomorrow, but apparently you only get 3 sessions with them so will have to go 50/50 residency with council read ££££££

God I am so mad I could spit, but the half a bottle of wine and a couple of fags has helped.

I am in a complete tiz as what to do next, but am resolute that no one, and I mean no one is going to get one over on me!

(of course in the wee small hours of the coming morning, I will be a whole lot less confident, but hey, saying it can make it happen, who said that the courts were fair and equal? well they were wrong)

Betty79 · 10/06/2010 21:49

Hi ladies, just checking in as I dont seem to get time or energy to post much in the week, Im knackered and work are really making me earn my money at the mo anyway looking foward to the weekend All is still lovely with bf so wont bore you with details, tis very comfy on this couch at the mo tho

Juice-sorry to hear about the job, hope you can persuade them to let you re-sit. On a brighter note I see rochester has been promoted to bf then

eve-that dress is lovely, colour is fab too!

Janos-Have you had much luck on the dating sites yet?

pmg-Sorry to hear about the court situation must be a lot of stress

monty- to the pic, I would ask them to remove it!

belle-sounds like all is still well with soldier?

Hi, ninah, lou, asbm, smo1, aurora, sponge and anyone else I've missed

Janos · 10/06/2010 21:51

Good for you pmg...keep up the fighting spirit!

Much easier said than done, I know from experience but you can get through this with your sanity intact.

Meantime, enjoy the booze'n'fags {grin]

Janos · 10/06/2010 21:55

Betty - I know what you mean about work, me too. Dating sites - it's kind of 'meh' at the mo. Am not desperate to meet anyone, it's more about getting out and about tho.

On that note I better get to my bed.

Night all. As DS says, don't let the bed bugs bite and if they do bite them back!

hatesponge · 10/06/2010 22:01

juice definitely ask them if you can retake. sounds like they were really impressed with you aside from the test, so they might let you. you dont lose anything by asking...and possibly might gain a job

pmg - I do think you might have to bite the bullet and get a lawyer as it doesnt sound like Ex is going to give up, nor that the court are going to dismiss his case.

My Ex has gone quiet at the moment which makes me think he is plotting something, so am expecting to find myself on the receiving end of a solicitors letter/court papers sometime soon

eve - your dd's dress is lovely. I think it looks appropriate for her age - some of my FB friends have pictures of their DDs/DNs going to their proms in full on crinoline type numbers...one of them is white and looks like a wedding dress! All a bit ott...imo much nicer to have something like your DD has chosen!
