Morning! Happy birthday to O,M and L!

evil glad the move went ok, I'm so so so pleased for you that you were able to do it.

Hi luis

How are you feeling this morning chasing? Is the cold any worse? Are you excited for your date? I can't wait to hear how it went

I have some time, so here goes.
The letting agency sent my draft copy of letting conditions, to my house. So he opened my mail and then I left.

He saw n on Monday for 15 minutes, and then left, not saying anything. I've been living at my mums place and they have been wonderful, and it's been cry weird having help. That's when the police came around to take a statement, and they were wonderful.

Tuesday
I got the keys to my new place :) and was phoned work to let them know I would be in on Tuesday.

Wednesday,
I was at work all day,

Thursday,
Had my very good friend around my new place and she bought me a kettle, and some stuff. Then I had my benefits check and I was pleasantly surprised. Then it was the evening and I moved my stuff out. P wasn't there. Which was wonderful, also I have too many books! I thanked everyone with fish and chips.

Friday.
Went to lawyer, and she was very good. I have several choices.
1, I fight to get the house. But I don't think I'll get it.
2, I get my share of money.

1. I try and get more money for my share.

For visiting (for which I have no idea about)
P wants to see nick two days a week, but between Monday and Friday. Not on the weekend. So I've asked her to send him a letter to make sure he doesn't want weekend contact.

Then maintainable payments. It's about 15% of his net income. I have no idea what that figure should be. :(

The lawyer advised to go through the agency's, but I've asked her if we can sort this out amicably between ourselves, if he plays up then I will follow her advice.

Still got lots of address changing to do:(
Plus I'm meeting P at a indoor soft play, so he can see n. I'm not looking forward to it. But I have to try.

Any Adivce welcome,
Evil

Evil, do you know his income? The CSA website will give you a monthly figure if you enter his income. With contact, definitely get something in writing. Decide how you feel about overnight visits etc. I started with one day a week and after 3 months it went up to overnight at the weekends.

I am on the train on my way to my date. Meeting him at 12. Cold is still there but not too bad. XP said I looked nice and he never gives me compliments so I must look ok.

Evil you might also want to think bout your feelings in re to n going to XP alone...
If your not ready yet that's fine. But what will your response be to xp?

chasing I have NO idea, :( :(

It's so strange making my own choices. I even have my own mattress. :)
It feels as if a whole weight has been lifted from my shoulders, but at the same time, I'm so tired. Very tired.

Evil

Evil, I loved choosing all my own stuff This is the hardest part. I promise. It will get easier from here.

evil you're doing brilliantly. Let me know if you need any help, am not far away. Or if you want to esacape then you're always welcome here.

chasing good luck for the date. Hope it is lots of fun and lovely.

sophia um, use carrot in everything?!

luis nice to hear from you, that receipe sounds lovely.

Hi everyone :)
Must catch up with Fred, back soon

evil me and DH had a statement of arrangements drawn up. We agreed everything between ourselves and got the solicitor the draw it up. So who sees who when is all in writing. The only problem is now things have changed ie. I have moved and we have had to agree how and when the girls are with me. I suppose I should get it reagreed but everything is fairly amicable at the mo so I don't see the point in spending the money. If things change that is hw go will do though.

I like the sound of the recipe luis I think I have most of that stuff knocking about.

Gosh you lot talk

Happy birthday to the gang x

Kyz no wonder your self esteem is fragile with a bunch of fuckwits like that around you. E is just perfect in every way.

Sophia that made me laugh, I am sorry reminds me of the Winnie the Pooh story with the watermelons. I would just peel and chop them all and freeze in meal sized portions to add to stews etc.

YW it is the Omeprazole working its magic for sure. He is teething, full of snot and has a cough, but has slept through for the last three nights, is eating full meals, and has not puked for 12 days. Fucking miracle it is And we have the Paeds on Tuesday. I will ask for allergy testing. Not sure what else to ask?

Loo update. He's nice. I like

Happy happ happy. Great chasing c

There is a town just 90km away from me in Germany with a tk maxx and a primark! Spotted them from the motorway this afternoon. Can't wait to go exploring :)

We drove to a town called Bitche today. From the fortress at the top of the town you can see the mountains in the distance. The mountains are too far for a day trip especially if you leave at 11am but it was nice to see them, though a bit gutwrenching not to be able to go up close.

Drove past a field of camels. You don't see that everyday.

evi you've come so far!

Carrot batons blanched then frozen in portions?caloriecount.about.com/nakd-banana-bread-bar-recipe-r514258 gotta be worth substituting for something in these, maybe the banana? Soup is a good one, freeze in bags so it doesn't take up as much freezer space

Nice day at my folks. After a week of being too busy shopping (yes really) while i battled teething, colds, 3 hour night screamathon, dp getting laid off again, my electrics going bang and R's birthday i went over to bake his cake due to having no fuse in the box for my oven. She'd fucked off out. Came back and was so horrified I'd been abandoned to do everything while looking after R (she assumed dp had him despite my use of the word we 20 minutes before on the phone!) she took over, dealt with both naps and lunch and packed me off to the bath with a book! So i finally feel more human and dp has had a day of laundry, job searching and proper rest :)

I love tk maxx, we get all of our towels and pots and pans from there.

Another of S's faves that I forgot, she seems to really love pooing in the bath, which she has just done - again. The icing on the cake was when she pissed on the floor in the towel she was wrapped in while I was cleaning the bath out and running a fresh one. She doubled up on me today!

Glad you have finally had a bit of time to yourself pp it's nice to rejuvenate. My mum is having S for a bit on Friday, I'm hoping she'll offer an overnight!

evil not the same situation but that's how I felt when I moved back to Hungary. Like a huge weight shifted from my shoulders but so very tired. I was drained emotionally and I slept 10 hours or so every night for a month. You will be fine and I am so proud of you.

pidj glad you had a good day.

All good here, lots of decisions made. Going to my parents tmrw, O will have a mini party there with her siblings.

Update: he doesn't find me attractive. Waiting for my train home. Dating can fuck off.

Chasing wtf?! Tosser. Blind tosser.

Lucky escape Chasing hope you made him pay for your lunch/coffee/cake

R may well be sleeping over with his big cousins when we're up for Christmas. Well, it'd be such a treat for the children and sil hosted other baby cousin months ago

What an unworthy twat chasing

Pidj I'm so glad you got the break you deserve.

Does he have shit in his eyes chasing? Oh well, his loss! X

I'm not attractive. I feel shit right now.
