Sept 08- The threenagers have arrived - Advanced negotiating and crowd control skills required

[DebiTheScot]

Sorry Meglet if you wanted to start the thread with your title but I thought I'd best do it while there was still one space to post the link to this one on the last one.

Meant ot say debs I got your pm, thanks. Going to talk to DP about it. The only thing stopping me now is that I need to see if our council will give us anything towards reusable nappies before we decide what to do.

Enjoy your sneaky night out MrsA

Have a lovely break MrsA!

DD is continuing to hone her base jumping skills. We were playing at a friends house and she decided to start jumping off the top of the kids slide. My friend "Um... she's jumping off the top of the slide, is that ok?' . Me "Is she hurt............no?.... then it's fine". She drew me a picture of a spider at nursery yesterday. What happened to 'sugar and spice and all things nice '. I'm hoping to take her to little 'gymnastic' classes in the Autumn term, she has no fear of flipping over, roly polys and jumping.

MrsA .

BTW, I'm not a good mum. I tell other people what to do all the time but I'm pretty crap myself. I'm not even dressed.

Carrie, just imagine, - all these days of not having to feed or change your baby. His/Her life will be the same length but surely bring it up inside you is the most efficient, - and don't forget, that article that says that higher birth weight = healthier babies, the more grown the baby is before born the better!

star while I think about it (and I hope you don't mind me asking). All the research you're doing (that goes on FB), is that so you can find the local authority with the best provision for your DS so you can move house to that area? Just being nosey really!

No, actually it isn't. It is work for a wider cause iyswim. I'm too far down the path where I am to risk moving. Also, eventually, there might be potential work for me in some of the LA's, but I want to know which ones are simply vile.

Hammersmith and Fulham, and North Yorkshire, are simply vile btw!

I see . Thank you.

Was there any reason for your asking? Don't have to give one btw, just wondered. Perhaps I could help you with something.

I'd just been wondering what you were working on when I saw the FB updates. Pure nosy-ness that's all .

I'm more excited than I should be that my posts are in green!

Going on holiday tomorrow, up to a caravan near Fort William. I'm worried at having no internet access and not knowing about Carrie's baby! I think it'll come before Tuesday though and then the "did we chose the right thing for induction re school years?" question will never be an issue.

Green

I've got the settings set so that the OP is highlighted in green. Really handy on some threads but not so useful on ones like this one.

OK - so he's not taken the picture but he's taken the laundry basket, all my big shopping bags and my big plastic tub (presumably to put things in), all the baby wipes (wtf), the fleecy blankets that the kids cuddle up with on the sofa and one of the cushions that matches the sofa , the file that we have all our financial stuff in (mine's been taken out)my picture of Macchu Piccu which I took and was really proud of - before the days of digital photography and no idea where the negatives are :( towels (even though I'd given him half of ours)

and ...

The lawn mower even though there is not a blade of grass at his new house

Could have been a lot worse

However, he still has the keys that he promised he'd put through the cat flap and has said that he'll join us later tomorrow on holiday (ie both drive the 3 hours to Wales)

Anyways off tomorrow one way or another and when I get back I'll be able to congratulate Carrie on her new baby

The b**rd has also taken both mine and his radio alarm - and when I went to his new house he'd bought himself one - what a twat

and my bedside light - no big deal but there are a couple of spare ones lying around!!

And BOTH chargers for DD1's and my toothbrush - means I can't take it on holiday.

Anyway, shouldn't complain - just have to work out how to get my key back before we go away. Will be changing the locks on return

See, - all that should simply reinforce for you that he's an idiot and you deserve better. No-one is miles better than this twunt.

He's just taken the things that will annoy you, but actually (Except for your picture which you might be able to get through his mum when she visits - keep a good relationship with her if you can) all those things can be replaced fairly cheaply.

Does his holding onto the keys mean he is going back for more though?

Seriously, he's just gone around looking for what can make your life difficult without.

If he doesn't give me the key back I have a cunning plan that will mean that he can't get in but my neighbours wil be able to feed the animals

OK - so he's taken the calender too. I was just about to look up the date of my friend's party.

Oh well! As you say they're not expensive. The picture was a round the world trip we did together so I guess he has some right to it (although I think my Dad paid to get it framed)

He's probably taken all the forks as well. Just things that make things difficult for you.

I don't know why. It's not as if he wants you to ask him back, - or perhaps he does for his ego, but not because that is what he wants.

I'd be worried he's planing to come back once you've left so good that you've got a plan to stop that. Altho it's a waste of petrol it could be helpful having 2 cars while you're away.
I can't believe how petty and childish he's being.

Do you still have a key for his house?

oh fgs! Well, at least it shows what a knob he is ninja and that you are better off! Cant believe how pathetic he is being.

I second debi Would be worried he still has a key

Hope you have a good week, despite him.
