Hi, is there anyone from the Corby area of Northants? I saw a Northants topic but everyone was from Wellingborough, so I was wondering if there was anyone closer?

Ye i told him josh was asking for him. Im so annoyed about it all his mum helped him out to have his daughter and her half sisters (not his) but she cant pick him up from here so he can see his son. It is his loss josh has changed so much since last time he saw him. Cant wait till he says he wants to see josh on a certain weekend, he'll have to have him the week after as we will have plans.

im not having him thinking he can click his fingers and im gunna jump n hand josh over. He needs to prove he wants to have contact with josh cos at the mo it doesnt seam as though he does at all.

hey, are we still supposed to be meeting tomorrow? I'm not sure if I can make it or not now. It depends if dh gets paid the 10 days he's owed or not from his old job, if not I haven't got the money. didn't realise how much we'd spent doing up Oscar's bedroom!!

We've both got the same problem! It's ridiculous that it gosts a fiver to get from Corby to Kettering on the bus, if we could drive it'd only be £1 in petrol! Such a rip-off.

I onlt realised last night that im a bit behind on my water payments. Always up to date with bills but my new book started before my old one finished and i didnt know.
Doesnt help that im getting no maintanaince and have more costs for josh as he isnt going away every other weekend. Dont get me wrong i love having him just have to make money stretch a bit further.
It is ridiculous the cost of buses. I really need to learn to drive, maybe one day lol

Don't you get extra benefits or anything to help when he's unemployed and can't give maintenance? I always assumed you would, but I suppose I've never had to deal with it. Kids do cost so much money,no wonder you've noticed the difference when Josh's with you all the time.
There's no sense in everyone missing out tomorrow, why don't you two meet up and I'll see you next time instead?

No i could get £5 if he gets jobseekers but wont tell me if they will let him haev it or when as he was sacked. I dont think i can afford it havent got a lot of money for the rest of the week and ive got to go and get some food shopping.

You must be desperate for him to get another job. It's a shame they don't think about how it'll affect everyone else when they do stupid things!

shelleylou · 15/04/2008 19:58

TBH i dont care anymore if i get a penny of him for josh just want him to stop messing josh around.

I bet. It'll only get harder for Josh as he gets older and starts to understand if his dad keeps letting him down.
Think I'll just go to the park today. At least it's free!

it's a shame that you're both having so many problems with your ds' dads. Samie have you always been split up or where you together when Logan was born?
I'm stuck in all day now waiting for the pest control man. We had two mice in traps this morning, their stiff little legs hanging out the back make me feel sick!!

OP posts:
shelleylou · 16/04/2008 19:52

Eeeeeuw hate that, my ex's mum always gets them in winter i couldnt look at them in the traps its just cruel and looks awful.
His dad actually text me a lil while ago to see how josh was . wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt stick to it and text weekly.

Lucy's got a friends birthday party at Cheeky Monkees on Saturday. Then Sunday we'll just be at home bored, weekends are usually pretty dull for us!
i've never been to wellingborough, is there actually anything decent to do there?

OP posts:
shelleylou · 17/04/2008 19:39

That sounds like my usual week. We're going over to see a friend and josh will play with her kids. The usual sort of things over there.

Good luck with the christening Samie, i bet that'll be a great day!
I'm probably free Wednesday afternoon, but definitely free all day Thursday. Any idea how long a walk it is from town to Wicksteed?

OP posts:
shelleylou · 19/04/2008 19:43

Hope the christening goes well and you really enjoy the day.
I cant tuesday or wednesday go a plaster coming to do my bedroom wall (at last) but hes doing 1 of them in joshs room as the plasters blown on both sides. Im not sure about thursday.
I think it takes about 30-45 mins depending on how fast you walk. You can stay on the bus so it leaves town and it stops just past barton road so it'll take you all of about 5mins to walk from bus stop to wickys.

samiestresure · 19/04/2008 22:10

well let us know about thursday if u cant make it thursday, then shall i cum over to corby to u katy but i dont know any parks there! only really know pengreen asdas and the town centre. but are u signed up wiv pengreen cause the play area is good in there!

shelleylou · 19/04/2008 22:13

Yes i will do. Got a feeling i might have something on but cant think what it might be.
