ASBM - There's nothing more heartbreaking than seeing your offspring hurting. Are you going to keep him away from him for a while?

rofl at sullen son. Ninah will love it. I really am pmsl at my desk at that.

Sponge - xh sounds like a real charmer . How's the house coming along?

Elasta - he sounds like a nice fella. I think its a great intro, especially that its not at your behest. Hope it goes well.

I dont think families ever really blend.

Its a bit like shaking oil and water, you might think its mixed then a while later you realise how different both elements are.

My sons tolerate their new step siblings but they are delighted if they are elsewhere when they go to visit their dad

aseriouslyblondemoment · 16/07/2010 15:16

bonus points already for nm then as they'll have his full attention!

Remotew · 16/07/2010 15:27

ASBM I'm at work. lol

Well still no reply. He hasn't read my latest message yet which I sent last night.

Monty100 · 16/07/2010 15:33

Elasta - if all goes well at the weekend it'll be great for them!

ASBM - have just read and will get back shortly this pm.

Eve - have you any plans for weekend if the date doesn't work out?

The weather's turning nice-ish here again although it's been gusty.

i would keep the date and if he doesnt cope with the kids then surely it would be better to know sooner rather than later?

also agree about the no child thingy, dp has none and as you know we have had no issues about how he gets along with them

in fact as we speak ds2 is currently wearing one of dp's t shirts, even though it looks like a dress on him

aseriouslyblondemoment · 16/07/2010 16:13

lou i'm quietly confident that he'll be another good un like our two
yes mont will look forward to hearing from my fav life coach lol
btw has anyone else heard from juicy,sm01 or belle?

Monty100 · 16/07/2010 16:28

Hi Lou - hope things are ok with you.

ASBM - I think you might be right there about Elasta's bloke.
You have an epistle email by the way . Lol at lifecoach.

Elasta - I await with interest to hear how it goes.

My dp doesn't have his own either and when ds was younger they were like father and son. Things are a wee bit rocky atm but I'm sure every family goes through this with teens and we'll come out the other side. .

i trio of good men, that would be v good news, and we would have one more to clone for our business

elastamum · 16/07/2010 16:35

Will let you know what happens, although the forecast doesnt look good so we might get rained off!!! - Remember this is the man that I am fated hardly ever to meet

lou33 · 16/07/2010 16:36

a trio i mean

aseriouslyblondemoment · 16/07/2010 16:37

behave and stop the negative talk lol
{stern emoticon}

lou33 · 16/07/2010 16:37

teehee i just put a pic of dp and my best mate on fb with them wearing silly sombreros

but he wont let me tag him

Remotew · 16/07/2010 16:38

Monty it's rocky with teens no matter if it's their bio dad or not.

Lou just had a look at DS yesterday on here, laptop was snatched off me last night so didn't look on fb. Fab

No plans for the weekend. Going for something to eat in a bit with work colleagues then driving home. I could go out with my DSis and her work mates later but she will be coming home early and I will end up wondering around with people I don't know well and we all know the trouble that can get me into so I'm coming home to pop a cork. Got plans for next couple of weekends so won't feel guilty about having a lazy one.

Monty100 · 16/07/2010 17:56

Just got in from work........... BLISS!

Elasta - rain or no rain, you're going climbing d'ya hear???? lol

Eve - lol at getting into trouble.

DD got a part-time job she applied for in a well know department store that also has a supermarket. I am . It's so nice when something good happens, not just about the money, although I'm more than delighted about that, but just for her learning and growing iyswim. I hope it's the beginning of good things.

I can't crack a beer just yet as I have to taxii take dd to the station shortly - a whole 6 minutes walk .

OP posts:
lou33 · 16/07/2010 17:58

i just cracked one open

i am hoping the voluntary job dd has got will lead to enough experience for her to get a paid job

oh and monty i posted on your dress thread

hatesponge · 16/07/2010 18:06

have a good weekend all - am off for a night out in town with friends, lots of wine and girlie gossip so should be fun.

Agree re the men without DC thing. I always thought I would HAVE to meet someone who already had children but am now looking at it differently (Ex had a DS already and look how that turned out and also as wedding man has none!)

monty - re house it is going slowly but ok. have done some painting and waiting for wedding man to finish off some of the bigger jobs nothing more from Ex's solicitors but I dont think they will do anything more til he pays their bill which i know he hasnt as yet (cant afford it!)

eve - meant to say I got what you were saying above re CJ and great news, must be a real relief...am sure it merits a glass or two of wine in celebration

Monty100 · 16/07/2010 18:24

Lou - that's the spirit. I'll be cracking one very shortly indeed. I am gagging quite thirsty.

Dd was just about to pursue voluntary work as the 'no experience' closes doors on them, chicken and egg syndrome. It's so hard for them.
Thanks for posting on thread, I just saw it.

Sponge - have a lovely evening. No texting wedding man after a few glasses though! Is he warming up yet?

OP posts:
lou33 · 16/07/2010 18:43

i am starting to think some kind of loose fit boyfriend style jacket of the longer length would work, something slouchy and informal to contrast with it?

Monty100 · 16/07/2010 18:47

Lou - definitely boyfriend jacket would be nice with it, but not for a wedding, that would be change it too much I think. I think I'm going to brave it without a jacket, and hope it's not too cold. (Wedding is in Edinburgh - yippee!).

OP posts:
lou33 · 16/07/2010 18:55

i have to disagree, i think as long as you have made an effort to look nice, which you are doing, then it's fine

and tbh i think unless you are going in nipple tassles and crotchless knickers the bride and groom are unlikely to get the hump

plus you want something you would wear again

lou33 · 16/07/2010 18:57

see if janos or juice have something to borrow

Monty100 · 16/07/2010 19:10

Where is our Juice anyway?? Not being on fb I haven't 'seen' her. I might pop in there later and have a nose look at piccies etc.

I'll keep my eyes open in the shops in the meantime, you never know, something might turn up. The fabric would have to be just right, the dress is silk.

OP posts:
lou33 · 16/07/2010 19:13

i havent seen her either

failing a slouchy style, what about something like this?
