Trib - I hardly use text so that's just as well. Certainly not for long conversations.
SIM is same network, same contract, everything.

Could you record all conversations? If he goes bonkers like the other day, you could find the recording useful later.

AngryMo · 24/04/2016 16:35

RunRabbit - I am going to try that actually, have my phone on standby when he enters a room for example. I so wish I had yesterday's bonkers outburst recorded but it was impossible to do subtly.

I guess you don't know if it is the same contract, since it's not your contract. Do you ever see a bill?

AngryMo · 24/04/2016 16:43

I can still get into view bills and contract info on my number. Don't think he realises that though.

Has he plans for Monday? Harder if two oldest are in school And less background stuff at home.

tribpot · 24/04/2016 16:52

Heh. That's good to know.

On voice recording, there are apps which don't record periods of silence, might be worth having a look around for one like that. Something like this. That way you could leave it running for a while without it recording anything and running out of space.

AngryMo · 24/04/2016 16:55

Trib - that's very clever, thanks

Mo, thank you for clearing up my confusion re the locks.

Your thread has taken a really sinister turn and not sure it was necessary.

Forgot to mention...he had a go about the 'missing' wines too. I just shrugged my shoulders and said they were just bottles of wine and I didn't know they weren't for drinking, in the most casual and nonchalant way I possibly could.

OP posts:
AngryMo · 24/04/2016 18:28

The way he's acting though is consistent with the way he has in emails for the last four months, it's no different really. Makes me realise, hearing him say all this tripe in the flesh, exactly how sick he must be. It's just very chilling to hear it when we're face to face because you'd think seeing each other might humanise and soften things a bit bit nope...not with him. He's completely unhuman.

OP posts:
Akire · 24/04/2016 18:33

The wine is just for him to drink then? Least he didn't make a big deal out of it , though what he imagined you were doing with it is beyond me! Well done staying cool And not getting into a row.

AngryMo · 24/04/2016 18:52

It's not like he put 'Prick's wine - do not drink' labels on them. It's MY house FFS.

OP posts:
Akire · 24/04/2016 18:57

What's he done for food for everyone today?

tribpot · 24/04/2016 18:58

Come now, you've never seen the servants on Downton get stuck in to Lord Grantham's vino uninvited, have you? Carson would have a conniption fit. Same thing: know your place.

Loubilou09 · 24/04/2016 19:05

I have been away for a meager 72 hours and you lot have managed 10 bloomin pages - I mean really? 10 Pages? ha ha Smile Smile

Going to sit down for a catch up in a minute, hope you are okay Mo and from the quick look I just had I really wish there was a like button on mumsnet as I have seen some really good advice Smile

AngryMo · 24/04/2016 19:08

Haha Loubilou...I never wanted my life to become a soap opera!!!
Can't believe I'm going to have to create thread 4 soon...

Mo you are doing so well KOKO.

Will he be going into the office whilst here? I only ask, as I think the less time you are around him the better. If he is here on holiday, try and get people to visit, or go out as much as you can.

If he has gone through the cupboards (checking labels ffs), God only knows what he will be checking next! I think this is why PP have suggested that he may go through phone records etc. Keep deleting and make calls to the police etc on that other phone. Any chance you could borrow money to buy a cheap Pay as you go smart phone?

Akire · 24/04/2016 19:16

Almost free mo sounds great. Amazing only a few generations ago this sort of thing was more or less the norm. Housewife had no idea of how much husband earned- no one would even employ married woman and if you got all house keeping without it being pissed up the wall or getting battered now and again you were on to a good thing.

Shame his brain seems to have a fault that can't see how last 60y have provided social evolution.

AngryMo · 24/04/2016 19:26

Trust me Phoenix, I've been out all day since he's been here, bar popping back if for things (hence when he's confronted me).
I have an emergency PAYG phone.
At times like this you really know who your friends are and by golly...there are some awesome human beings on this planet.

OP posts:
PhoenixReisling · 24/04/2016 19:33

So pleased you are doing this and have a PAYG too.

KOKO....KOKO.

I hope that you have a calendar and are putting a big Red Cross through each day closer to his return

RandomMess · 24/04/2016 19:59

KOKO

You are doing so well and are completely awesome Flowers

Akire · 24/04/2016 20:01

KOKO is keep on keeping on incase anyone else was like me and hasn't googled it yet! learn something everyday

mix56 · 24/04/2016 22:01

Ha, love the reply about the wine !
I mean had he really counted the bottles ?

almondfinger · 24/04/2016 22:13

Mo, another more lurker then poster here. You are amazing, he is an absolute prick.

After he went out to play golf yesterday I'd have been changing the locks.

Your thread makes for jaw dropping reading. I have been here since the start and you are doing brilliantly.

Your children are very lucky that they have a fab mother who more than makes up for the fact that their dad is a complete waste of space.

Rooting for you all the way. Wine, I'd love to see his face if you casually opened a bottle of 'his' wine in front of him and had a glass, made a face and just left it.
