XP has came in, and said how rolling in it I must be....because I brought .....a strimmer.
I havent had a strimmer for 2 YEARS. And usually cut round the edges with scissors, yes SCISSORS.
It was 20 quid. Tht would be a FIFTH of what he gives me for the 2 dds PER MONTH.
THEN he plugs in, not one, but 2 mobile phones in my kitchen.
THEN hes just said whats that fruity smell? Oh I think your toilet smells of piss.
Which it probably does lol, but who the fuck is he to comment.

Anyone else?

BoyzntheShire · 05/06/2008 19:30

i was wondering what the legal angle was...

he sounds like a total prick btw, glad hes your ex

mankymummy · 05/06/2008 19:31

ex cannot afford to give me any money for DS but is currently on a two week sailing holiday because he is "stressed out and needs to find himself".

wish i had the time to be stressed and i can easily find myself, running around after DS (bless him he's gorgeous), scrimping every single bloody day, oh and i can easily "find myself" in the "reduced because of date" section of the supermarket hoping to find something i can afford.

eeeeh. that feels better...!

mankymummy · 05/06/2008 19:31

oops, i was so keen to rant i didnt even notice it was in the wrong section !

ivykaty44 · 05/06/2008 19:33

I wish my ex would go and blardy lose himself and then forget where he has gone to forever - make my life a damn site easier

charliecat · 05/06/2008 19:33

And breathe...god they do like to frustrate. Im not sure WHY I am writing it down on MN and not ripping his head of with it.

He siad Oh sorry ...mutter mutter.

my XH told the kids that they couldn't wind down the car windows because he couldn't afford it because he had to give mummy all his money (i, at the time could't even afford a bloody car!)

i did the cutting the grass with the scissors thing! took bloody ages!

mankymummy · 05/06/2008 19:43

me 2, i've cut the whole lawn with scissors before (its only small), the blisters !

charliecat... good for you telling him to unplug them. i would have just gritted my teeth but now i dont allow ex in my house .

vicky... thats outrageous.

vickyB22 · 05/06/2008 19:47

you don't have to justify what you spend your money on. we all know whatever an ex pays in maintenance is only a fraction of what it actually costs to bring a child up.

mankymummy · 05/06/2008 19:51

WE do but they dont.

my exP told me i should be able to give DS everything he should ever need on £50 per week. nursery costs me 68 pounds alone !

mankymummy · 05/06/2008 19:51

aggggggggh. sorry flipping pc. on 50 pounds a week that should be.

vickyB22 · 05/06/2008 19:54

oh, and i think my toilet probably smells of piss also...

charliecat · 05/06/2008 20:02

I still havent gone upstairs to see if mine really does or not....but theres no way ON THIS planet that he would EVER say anything like that in anyone elses house ....and his mums WHOLE HOUSE stinks of cats wee and the cats shit in the bath but he wouldnt announce that after seeing a shit in the bath t her house. Just says it to me.

remember that 'she who laughs last always laughs the loudest'

sillybillybee · 05/06/2008 20:17

I'd have told him he's welcome to go and clean the toilet then. Good on you for unplugging the phones. I've just been wound up by my ex too and he's at the other end of the country let alone in my house.

vickyB22 · 05/06/2008 20:18

i always had guilt trips about money, at christmas time daddy bought expensive presents - playstations etc. mummy didn't buy anything (all presents i gave were 'love from father christmas'!). admittedly i could only aford to do my shopping in the pound shop

lou33 · 05/06/2008 20:32

drop his phones down the loo

vickyB22 · 05/06/2008 21:01

chariecat - ignore all the put downs, he's just very insecure. phones down the loo are a v good idea, i put my EH v expensive watch down the loo (he bought it after claiming he couldn't aford new shoes for the kids). what's he doing in your house anyway???

charliecat · 05/06/2008 21:03

hes seeing the kids. i didnt put the phones down the loo, i said still good enough to use when he went towards the bathroom...and he had a fit saying im not getting at you bla bla...
hes gone now. Thank Feck

sounds like it's early days for you...it's a few years since i divorced my X,he still pays only £20 a week maintenance for our 2 children & tells me i'm a thick shit. thing is, after paying off all his debts & mortgage arrears i sold the house, bought a 6 bed wreck (my money) & don't cut the grass with scissors any more. yes, my loo prob does still smell of piss (isn't that what's it for???)& i drop the kids off at his house now in my porsche 4x4 & i'm still a thick shit. can't win, i'm still a bitch for getting a degree & a good job!!! (& christmas presents are still signed with love from father christmas)

charliecat · 05/06/2008 22:08

Oh well done you
