I'm quite happy with a jar of Branstons

[LouP19]

Morning all.

Talking of Toast Toppers, he took 2 tins of that as well. Yes, really.

My pantry is now full of Heinz cheese ravioli and Tesco sausage and beans.

Fantastic! I do hope the OW reads it! Oh, I really, really do Lou! I expect you will get some kind of communication from him immediately he reads it though. Hope you'll be able to drive him nuts by ignoring!

Or is the back off telling him not to communicate with you and stop coming round and helping himself to anything from J cloths to Toast Toppers?

Assume they will send it 'signed for' post, so that he can't deny receiving it?

The first paragraph could be interpreted as You should have been castrated at birth sunshine,.....

I hope she gets to read it too.

Redirects can add time on to getting post so he might not get it tomorrow, but it will be a 'nice' surprise whenever it does arrive!

You're doing brilliantly, LouP.

Remember, there's no post on Monday either, so you have several days when you needn't worry about anything plopping through the door.

Two other things: it's completely normal to have insomnia while pregnant. Boring, but normal. So please don't worry if you wake in the wee small hours. Might be worth learning to meditate (8 minute meditation is the cheesiest book in the world but totally clear, and gives you the techniques so that you don't get entangled in repetitive and unpleasant thoughts).

And also: massive mood swings are also normal in pregnancy. So if you are switching from elation to girl power to quivering jelly to hysteria in short bursts please remember that, again, it's boring but normal (and again, meditation is a great way of getting the techniques to watch the emotions going past without getting entangled in them).

It's hard enough with all the mental and physical shifts of pregnancy without a Chunt in the background, so I just wanted to offer you some heartfelt sympathy on the pregnancy-related side!

Lou I hope your solicitor hasn't actually insulted him, because he could rightly sue for libel...

No, there are no insults. All above board. Just a statement of fact.

Why on earth would a solictor send out a libellously insulting letter FFS??

then how could it be interpreted as "you should have been castrated at birth"

can you tell us what it says, at the moment you have the moral highground, I'd hate to see you lose that.

Lissie I think what it says is lou's business not yours.

Her solicitor is unlikely to send a letter saying "Well you should have kept your pecker in your pants and no mistake, eh sunshine?!".

lissielou I am joking about the castrated comment.

I doubt Lou could post the contents here as it could compromise her position and could possibly 'out' her.

I am sure that the solicitor has despatched a very carefully worded letter. I am sure that Lou is aware of any implications should it be otherwise. :)

ah, ok. sorry. its hard to get tone online, and I am ill and fuzzy.

Come on ladies - I'm sure that the sol knows exactly what she's doing and isn't going to put in writing anything libellous. Simply mentioning the two simultaneous pregnancies indicates that he's a Chunt who couldn?t keep it in his trews!

Glad to hear that new solicitor is getting the ball rolling for you.

What a shame that you can't even make a joke without getting jumped on.

You would have thought that the words 'could be interpreted as..' would give people a clue that the letter did not actually say that at all. Some people really will use any excuse to take a pop at other posters. How pathetic.

I wasnt jumping, jesus! I am ill I read it differently to you.

for fucks sake.

I think Lou just means she's taking a hard line and is gunna fight hard for Lou, which is good!!

some posters will see anything as a slight.

So Lou, what else is new? How are the cats liking their gift wrapped food?

Attempts to divert topic back to Lou

Actually wasn't referring to you lissie, saw you had just misunderstood and had said so.

No need to take what I said as a slight. :)

Hello Lurking

The cats are very well thank you. Not missing Dad at all. In fact none of us are at the moment as he was away so much that we're used to just being the 3 of us. They are also adapting really well to the many visitors who are now coming to the house. They used to run away from Dad (cos he stomped about a lot), but they don't do that anymore!

cake - I assume you are referring to me? Just concerned for the OP :)

in that case I apologise. its just lou had namechecked me when she said it was a joke, so I thought you were talking to/about me.

as I said, ill and off my face on painkillers fuzzy.

it never ceases to amaze me how these men live double lives. I was once seeing a chap who was lovely. I even went to his house for dinner. he showed up after we'd been dating for 11w (I had a 12w rule) at a restaurant I was working at as a favour for a friend. it was valentines day. and he brought his heavily pregnant wife. the "home" I'd visited was his (single) brothers.

T'was mostly the other poster whose response annoyed me, but fair enough. :)

Ah, how lovely that the cats are getting more confident. They were obviously stressed out by his stomping and are enjoying the new relaxed atmosphere in the house now that it is a Chutney-free zone. :)
