Nice list Dunoon Xmas Grin

My lovely DH has been playing the good samaritan tonight. My 18 year old cousin (lets call her S) needed to go collect all her belongings from my former aunt and DH took her over. Poor girl has tried to stick by her mam despite her being a raging alcoholic. S has had anorexia for years, probably as a result of her stressful upbringing, but despite this she has managed to secure a place at uni and travels 3 hours a day to get there and back. She is living at my nanas atm, but in Jan she is going to go get her own place with friends. Basically the reason she has had to move out (finally) is that her mam went on a bender, took some people back to their new flat and allowed them to take all of S's belongings Angry including two laptops and little jars of money she has saved for years.

It annoys me so much, beyond words! My former aunt has two other children, her son moved out as soon as he was old enough and her other daughter went to live with her dad after he took her to court for sole custody. Poor S has never had a dad as her dad hung himself before S was born.

I've done so much for S over the years, and it hurst me so much that I couldn't have her living with me, or that she has had such a thoughtless bitch for a mother.

Beyond words!!!!!

Sad for your cousin 5in, glad she has your support though x

basl · 21/12/2010 20:59

Oh 5in that is really awful yes and very Sad. It's incredible tho how you here about these people still managing to get through college etc and bless her for being such a wee trooper eh?

Not good feeling eh when you are a bit helpless. Well maybe this is a new start for her and i agree with nicola so glad she has you.

You don't know how lucky you are sometimes. Olivia just sat for ages and scored her name out on every christmas card she got from school and wrote mum on it. She said she wanted me to have lots of cards for my birthday.
I thanked her for taking so much time on this and she replied no joke
" there is never too much time in my little life to spend with my mummy"
I swear thats exactly what she said. So 5in i feel so bad when i hear something like how your cousin S is not getting any love from her mum.
very Sad

5ElvesMooningSanta · 21/12/2010 21:40

Sorry for my earlier outburst girls. Just annoys me so much. DH is feeling sorry for former aunt as when he was leaving she said "Tell 5in I love her and miss her". This coming from the woman who grabbed ds1 by the scruff of his top when he was 3 (3 ffs) and called him a little ginger shit Angry. And all because he didn;t ya hllo to her when she was bouncing along the road drunk out her mind.

Basl, she is going with my nana to Scotland to spend it with my lovely uncle and aunt.

Olivia is lovely Basl, makes me want a girl (almost Wink)

nicolamumof3 · 21/12/2010 21:44

awww don't be silly 5in its fine its what we do here eh?!

family eh?

so no one answered me about my damn volo? Shall i order now at 69.99? or see if any bargains to be had in the new year? or stop being silly and carry on with nipper Xmas Grin

5ElvesMooningSanta · 21/12/2010 21:48

I say don't be silly and keep with the nipper Nicola. Especially with the snow. Has Terry managed to get home today?

nicolamumof3 · 21/12/2010 21:50

basl · 21/12/2010 22:15

I say keep nipper and don't have volo. I remember you saying your where finding it a bit hard to push a while back with bags on etc. Would luka be happier to walk abit more now or is it mainly for shopping?

5in don't apoligise i can't express enough how much it benefits me going on and on and on about myslef Xmas Wink really does help to sound off now and again. Good on nice Auntie and Uncle xxx

Olivia all tucked up in bed and asked me if i was looking forward to tomorrow and i said "oh yes!! I really want to have a nice day" and she giggled and said "oh you totally are!!"

basl · 21/12/2010 23:17

What was your clothing question?

The volo btw is just to stash in cupboard will still use nipper everyday. It was the quest i struggled with. I get SPD in pg and i think the volo may be easier later on in summer as super light?
