Morning everyone,

send XH a text yesterday asking if he'd like to see DS for more than an hour today as its fathers day, no reply. Guess that'll be a no then!

Belle - well done you and your bf

Monty - Mr Blue is on borrowed time although he doesn't know it yet! All gone a bit pear shaped, my gut feeling was correct. Next!

ninah · 20/06/2010 09:01

ah sm1 what happened?
we don't do fathers' day here. Or mothers' day come to think of it, unless the school has a go.

lou33 · 20/06/2010 14:08

Omg I am still in bed. I havent done this for so long its heaven. Need to be getting up soon to get Ds2 from his dad

sincitylover · 20/06/2010 17:59

Wow Lou a much deserved lie in.

Ninah - agree with the others

Monty - I know which IKEA you were in I think - love to go there if I have enough time.

My dm and df have just left. Visit was OK but had to grit my teeth a few times. Too long a history to go into there and the main thing is that the dcs enjoyed seeing them.

Ex decided to come back from his weekend visit early and turned up at cricket with the dts. Then bit later his p came along. This was fine at one level though felt a bit strange not least because he has never introduced her to me. I think although any type of introduction is well past its sell by date I will just have to take the bull by the horns and introduce myself properly maybe making a joke about the fact that he hasn't done it (am sure its a deliberate ploy on his part - he's very manipulative).

It all felt a bit strange esp with my parents there and dcs said they felt odd (unprompted).

So am glad today is nearly over for all sorts of reasons - seeing my parents always leaves me feeling very low.

But doesn't usually last that long thank god.

Sorry to anyone I have missed - the thread moves like lightning.

Belle, as I live in the lakes we call the hills, fells. I was intending to drive up somewhere remote with FWB wild camper vanning but he fancied a night in a little town so we went for a few drinks and a meal instead and slept in the van up a side road. Had a great night. Bumped into an old school friend. I mean old lol.

Also was chatting to someone famous but better not say who. A comedian.

Enjoyed having ahem 'chat' with FWB but no point getting involved there as he is a rolling stone and they gather no moss.

I got a message from Zoosk this morning with a phone no sneaked through. Mentioned he didn't want to meet anyone with kids as he is foreign and travels back and forth a bit. He lives just down the road from me and works as a chef in a restaurant that I know well. I told him I would text and not to reply if the child things is such an issue as I have one. Text this afternoon and he rang straight away. So arranged to meet at my local fav place tomorrow! I'm completely meh about it. Will call him 'Stallion'.

Hi to everyone.

lou33 · 20/06/2010 19:31

Dp has arrived and the kids have given him the card and gift for fathers day.

Also picked up Ds2 from his dad, got home to discover someone I had told him to keep away from the kids had not only been round but on leaving called Ds 'special needs boy'. Cue one raging phone call from me to him about it. Ended up telling him if he cant promise to keep her away then he wont be able to see the kids at his. This is not the first time she has made inappropriate comments and the kids dont like her

Remotew · 20/06/2010 20:42

Damn Lou, what has he said about her. Is she his partner?

lou33 · 20/06/2010 20:55

No she is some crazy woman in the village who is about seventy.
Last time they saw her she was making extremely distasteful comments regarding dd1 and her father

Remotew · 20/06/2010 21:02

Can you have a word with her and tell her she upsets your kids, if not then surely he can avoid her having contact with them.

Monty100 · 20/06/2010 21:55

Lou - I was going to do an angry face but you exh doesn't even deserve it, nor the silly woman. Were your dcs ok? He really is a star turn isn't he.

Eve - oh, give us an initial???? You had a lovely time .

SMO1 - yep, bin and NEXT!

SCL - I don't go that often these days, I still have boxes of t-lights, candles, serviettes etc etc since days gone by, but I'm loving my new print lol!

Well, ds went out today, I did mention fathers' day, he was 'meh,' DD was out so I phoned her and mentioned it to her as well, and her response was 'well he's hardly a father is he?'

So, I did nothing for exh from dc's and he phoned about 6.00pm asking if ds would like to come for dinner (home made curry), as ds was out and we were having roast that was a non-starter. Deep in my heart and soul this really breaks my heart......... for a minute, and then I think of the bastard standing in court telling me he'll spend every penny of equity in the house if he has to......... (and also that he and his current gf were having a baby, he told dcs this as well and it was all a complete lie, and the judge and everybody else including me believed him). Anyway, Fathers' day Schmathers' day. You reap what you sow, that's all I can say.

Lol sorry about the vent.

Hope everyone is ok.

this is the 3rd occasion, the first time i was there and told her i didnt appreciate her comments, but exh got me to agree to give her another chance

the second time i wasnt there, and without me knowing he took them all to hers, where she served them food 6 yrs out of date, berated me for the fact i was homeschooling dd2 incorrectly , and made very dodgy incestuous comments about dd1 and her father

the kids also wanted to leave for along time before she would actually let them , tho fuck knows why exh didnt just up and go with them

after that incident i told him v clearly that she was not to be in their presence again, and he promised me that would not happen

roll forward to today, i found out she has been there and also said what she did about ds2, and my furious call to exh who claimed to have no knowledge of our previous conversation, tho now agrees shes a nut job who is not going near the kids again

i dont know why he didnt pull her on her comment, but i told him if he doesnt take action i will be round hers letting her know what i think, i dont care how old she is

she turns up to see exh wearing teeny leather mini skirts, so she is obviously a sandwich short of a picnic, but i find her comments offensive and i dont want her about the kids at all

right am off to put the uniforms in the dryer and go to bed, have a good evening everyone

Monty100 · 20/06/2010 22:13

Lou - WTF? Needs to go to the kerb that one!

Hope you have a good early night and dc's are ok.

Hi Everyone, Just place marking, nothing much happening here. Traveler has gone travelling again! He rang me last week for an hour and promised to take me out again when he gets back, will wait and see .

Have been swapping messages and calls with yorkshire, he wants to meet me and there is another man who has just popped up on GSM who looks lovely and has sent me a really nich message, call him teacher - guess what he does!!!

Unfortunately am off overseas in the morning for 3 days, no wonder I hardly ever get a date, am never around! Better go to bed, its a 4am start in the morning

ninah · 20/06/2010 22:38

eve you have been busy! sounds like a fun weekend
stallion - if that rhymes with his nationality I'm consumed with jealousy
lou who is this mad old bird? she sounds like a skit from Little Britain or a Harry Enfield Old Gitess
why on earth does ex know her?
another bbcue today, very lazy otherwise, my grass is knee high
school tomorrow more and more tempted by home ed tbh, but will discuss with ex when I see him next week
it is good to have it out in the open actually, as I can see now ds has not been OK for some time
and i love my job but hate the pettiness eg when my 'boss' overheard me being complimented on my reports she loudly 'oh, she's very secretarial' waving her hands like on a keyboard
elasta that is a fecking early start, good luck with your trip

Remotew · 20/06/2010 23:00

I'm getting amusing visions of this woman who Lou's ex is friendly with too. 6 years out of date yuck!

Forgot to say before to Belle that I agree about Frank Lampard.

Yes Ninah it rhymes, not sure how the date is going to go. His English was very broken on his profile but I could understand him to an acceptable level on the phone. I will just have to study him very carefully face 2 face. He's quite tall for someone from that part of the world. Decided to text FWB about my date as internet dating came up in conversation last night as he dabbles. No reply yet!

Monty, my famous person has a first name beginning with S. That's all I can say.

OOPS!

lou33 · 20/06/2010 23:03

No idea how they met but according to him she is becoming a pita. For some reason he is worried about upsetting her as she knows everyone in the village. I said I didnt give a fuck just stand up to her. I bet anything it will come to pass that she is the village nutter.

I was hoping to get an early night but the bloody dryer has been playing up so I have been out of bed twice already

ninah · 20/06/2010 23:08

ooh, that would just add to the charm for me eve! I'd just want him to talk I love some accents!
had a brazilian bf once, we got on wonderfully when he had broken english, it was only once it improved i realised how little we had in common

ninah · 20/06/2010 23:11

oh I bet she knows everyone in the village alright
and they know her, too ...
wnt to my sister's village earlier, they had a scarecrow competition it was blooming freaky, loads of groups of themed scarecrows propped up at tables or dangling from trees
one had a chainsaw

Remotew · 20/06/2010 23:17

Think I will be relying on body language.

Lou, you talking about uniform has made me realise that DD has to wear hers on Tuesday for last exam then thats it. No more getting it ready on a Sunday. End of an era . On the bright side she should be starting to do her own now.

Stallion has mentioned that he doesn't like smoking. I'm back on the wagon again but have somehow managed to control myself as a social smoker. Hopefully he will give me the incentive to keep off for good. Cold Turkey after every weekend isn't a great way to go.

Remotew · 20/06/2010 23:22

Scarecrow comp Ninah is it something to do with time of the year? Sounds creepy.
