April 2009 - Episode 13 - 'I've been looking for the exit for months!'

[Schulte]

Fanjo Warriors, here we are

Yeah, me and my creepy mates .

Boff I notice there are is no night apparel for the modest woman. That is deeply disturbing. Does a modest woman go to bed in her day clothes?

'are is'??? Doh. Shouldn't have had that beer!

I can't decide if it's day clothes or just that all the wives line up naked for octegnarian polygamist husbands in order to procreate on an industrial scale, and therefore night clothes are somewhat redundant ...

Bronze, if you don't go I will be very petulant about it. What would it take to change your mind?

Its a hellish journey ( I will be learning to drive but no that soon) will cost me more than I have and the main sticking point is that I still feed Izy to sleep and as I haven't left him for any serious length of time yet I wouldn't be able to make any gurantees.

Its my 30th in jan though so I'm thinking of having a half birthday party in the summer if the fanjowarriers were up for coming?

Oooh, a house, bronze? Can I just come & live with you? Another kid would just get lost in the chaos, surely? It'd be lovely to see you if you come to the meet up, but I don't want to apply pressure if it's just not possible :(

I'm trying not to think about the octogenarian polygamist husbands

Purely hypothetically, of course, if a FW finds a long lost FW in distress elsewhere on MN, is it bad form to send the other FWs over for some pom pom waving? Or should the discovering FW just keep her beak out?

Aaargh this child benefit thing is just making me

I think you could direct us doughy

you're welcome anytime, we will have a spare room

Just looking at the story now Schulte. It's not too clear.

Sadly it's way too clear to me!

Direct away doughnut - if I was posting in my usual name I'd be expecting to be spotted. And have pom poms waved at me!

Oi Bicnod, I'm here! Forget me??!! like I'd let you!

Firstly yay Ginger! Congratulations!
Puzzle, poor Ellen but luckily things have got a bit easier for her to get through.

Schultes, the child benefit thing has made me pretty pissed too. Do you still get to claim if we think it is morally acceptable (which it is in my house or else K would be starving!!) or are they basically saying you will lose it?

Dougnut, I've done some pom pom wearing for my buddy (which gives everyone enough direction to go find!). Oh and it's a date. Skinny / fitted jeans and a very nice love cut top.

xxx

low, not love.

if either of you get over 44k and are higher tax, you lose cb. To be honest that bit seems fair enough in some ways, though obviously very hard on some.
But if you both earn 43k then you get to keep it with a combined income of 86k, hows that right?
These things never take hours worked into it either so stop slaving its not worth it
and its not for a couple of years so could all change again

This is the thread I'm talking about. I hope she doesn't mind I think she's in need of some FW spirit though?

A spare room, bronze?! Nice You've landed on your feet then!

BB, you really think it's a date? I'm beginning to get nervous, which is stupid, because he's one of my best friends.

Oh, it's been a long day. G has had a stinking cold since Tuesday & has just managed to get through the worst of it, but is still really snotty. I had him all morning, the CM had him for a couple of hours while I went to a lecture, & I've got him back now. I've just had to move heavy furniture out of my bedroom for H to pick up (I don't want him in there) & G kept lying on the floor EXACTLY where I needed to be, just to be naughty. I had to move him literally at least 20 times & he just screeched the whole time, wiping snot everywhere in the process.

He's just this second fallen asleep & H will be here any minute, so I'm going to have them both being grumpy at me. I have sooooo much to do, I don't have time or patience for this :(

Thanks Bronze I worked it out then proceeded to have a bit of a rant about it. As you said the higher tax bracket makes sense, that's fair enough and I support that part of it but it is ridiculous that a family on 86k would get it and a family on 45 wouldn't! Stupid, stupid, stupid! Anyway! like you said, will probably change before 2013!

K had that last week Douhgnut, was horrible but I think I have finally washed all the snot covered clothes. How did it go with H?

I wish my son would go to sleep. For the past two weeks it's been nothing but sleep avoidance at night time!

Bronze, am I right in recalling you live somewhat near me? i.e. East?

F)oo%t'lo"n$g (& his fluffer, B.a/rm"y/A,r(m1y, who hasn't appeared on that thread yet) are so bloody infuriating. They just go looking for trouble & upset people who are vulnerable. & it's so difficult not to take the thread off course by telling them how totally shit^ they are.

I've made their names all funny because they are exactly the type of people who search for their names to see who's talking about them

Oh, BB - it's not too bad with H. We're civil enough. The first week was a bit up & down because we were both so angry (what he had to be angry about is a mystery, to be honest), but we're okay now. Almost friendly, believe it or not. In fact I'd say that he feels less for me than I do for him - if I didn't keep my brain totally engaged, I could quite happily slip back into old habits. He wouldn't. But it's okay, because my brain is fully engaged. He's wasted enough of my time.

I am sorry Doughnut, PMSL there.

'Now my twat blinkers are going on'

Excellent. I will try that when the admin people at work cock up next.

I love the idea of it in a professional capacity. I can imagine coffee being sprayed across desks now

What about in response to a particularly pointless academic journal article peer review? Hahaha that would teach them.

Hello FWs!

Sorry, I never came back with that gin Boys are going through a hellish phase and it's taking all my energy to just survive...

Question for you - I hate my job, and more than that, I hate that it takes me away from my boys for 32 hours a week, which is all I could negotiate from my stinky boss. So do I give up my job, and leave us seriously cash strapped (i.e. outgoings higher than income) and look for something part time, or do the sensible thing and try to find part time work first? It feels like every day I'm working is time wasted, and it's not just the effect on me and the boys, but also DP is seriously stressed and needs some support with his business (some of which he could pay me to do, which would help).

Thoughts on a postcard? I desperately want to hand in my notice, but is this just a bad patch? Things are hard with DS1 starting school etc, but will it settle down or do I just say enough is enough?

Tricky.

Doughnut, I love Twat Blinkers. I need some of them when talking to my boss

what the heck is a FW? Seen it all over recently.
