NoCapes thread 2 - No cape necessary

[NoCapes]

Can't believe we've filled up a whole thread
But I'm still not ready to be without you all yet ...

Oh and yes my birthday always had to be arranged around what his friend was doing, he's already told me he's out that weekend just in case I wanted him to have the kids 🙄
DS asked me what I wanted for my birthday before bless him and when I said what shall we do in Mummy's birthday DD answered "we'll go to the pub ... And get you drunk!" deal!

Haha I don't watch X-Factor I just happened upon it on the interwebs

I thought that said Skyye party and I was like Oh shit what am I doing now

I'd have to set up a new Skype account as I don't remember mine lmao

That sucks about your birthday... Then again I can't even remember what happened on mine..... Oh yeah dad came and took me to dinner and XP got grumpy because he had to look after DD

How do you Skype? I've no idea how

Sorry just read the last one, he's ditching his kids on your birthday so he can go out? What a cunt

I have no idea how to Skype either ha

He's sent me a message, the general gist is - 'I hate this, I miss you, I miss I really think we can make this work if you just talk to me, I want to be a better boyfriend & dad, want to make you happy, I know what I did/didn't do, I can be selfish but I want to change, can't bare you not being mine anymore, everytime my phone rings I hope it's you, I love you more than anything...." And on and on and on

I'm clearing the kitchen atm (getting a new boiler tomorrow eee!) so I haven't replied, but I'm replying in my head, I need to just keep it there!

I'm glad I'm not the only Skype virgin!
Ugh he's relentless isn't he? Why can't he just fuck off and let you be happy??? Send him a couple of MN acronyms, he'll be so busy trying to work them out he'll stop texting only kidding, blank the cunt til he takes the hint.
Ooh new boiler, I'd be happy too! Ours is shit I feel left out, the only musketeer with a bombsite kitchen

My kitchen is most definitely a bombsite right now, I'm having the boiler moved from the kitchen to the utility room so I've got to clear both, floors are coming up, walls are being opened - I am stresssssed! There are boxes of crappola piled up everywhere - I could probably just bin half of it to be fair

He is relentless, just trying to wear me down
If he'd have just put even half of this much effort in when we were actually together we wouldn't be in this situation

Oh I feel your pain, I'd be cracking up if floors were coming up and walls being opened. We decorated the living room for the first time in 5 years the other week and I was stressed out my box the entire time. Literally in tears at some points because everything was everywhere and the house was a riot. Was worth it though
Hell yes! If he'd just opened his eyes and seen how fucking amazing you are and what a bloody wonderful life he had you wouldn't be going through all this shit. Now he's feeling sad you're supposed to give a shit? (I know you do, but he doesn't need to know that). He's a prize horrendacunt!

Oh no my kitchen is a bombsite aye the cupboards are nice and tidy but the rest is awful. After DD went to bed I tidied the living room, took one look at the kitchen and went "naaahhh I'll do it tomorrow"

Arrgh I know exactly how you feel, it's almost word for word what my XP says whenever he's in the doghouse. I just ignore it now, I've talked to him till I'm blue in the face and it never really makes a breakthrough... Lots of fancy words, a few days action and then we're back to where we started!

[Enter millenial] All you need to do to get Skye is set up an account, similar to how you did on here, and then it should automatically download the software onto your computer/phone. The website should give you a guide on what to do, or you'll get a little guided tour when you first login...

Once you're on you can add people by username/email address and then you can either instant message or click on the button that says Video Call. It's all pretty straight forward, no harder to work than FaceBook or the like... [Exit millenial]

Bear in mind I downloaded snapchat to work out what DSD was doing on it and had to admit defeat and old age and delete the feckin thing I'm so shit with technology!

Oh dear.... I've never had snapchat bc my phone doesn't support it (no forward facing camera) but I imagine it's quite simple, these things usually are. I mean I'm on FaceBook, Instagram and Tumblr, also Twitter but I never use it lol... but it's only taken me like maximum an hour to get the hang of it...

Ive had the paint to decorate my kitchen for 7 months. I just can't bear the upheaval of doing it...
I thought of you and sky when little mix were in last night

Hi Capes - I found you :)

so, he misses you so much he's making sure that he's not around for the kids on your birthday. Hmmm.

sky it took me longer than an hour to figure out this site - and I had to create an e-mail address especially for it, I don't do e-mail atall - we've got no chance I'm like a bloody Flintstone when it comes to technology!

Ah thankyou aye

Nige I'm dreading the next few days, plumbers, electricians, plasterers and then I've got to sort the floor and paint - why oh why did I decide to do this?! (Well because the old boiler is shit, keeps breaking down and was making DS1 poorly but still - wah!!)

Feck - I hadn't even thought of that! Yep this is him 'wanting to make me happy' what a lucky duck I am ey 🙄

Skype was your idea Capes! I guess I was born just at the right time to grow up with technology growing with me, so I adapt quickly lmao

Are you switching from an old style boiler to the new fangled ones? We have a new one and its very shiny

I can't believe he's giving you the spiel of wanting to make you happy but he's buggering off with his friend on your birthday! He hasn't changed one jot

Hope the boiler malarkey goes smoothly

Hopefully some of the tradesmen will be hot so at least you'll have something pretty to look st whilst it's going on, (nige does like a tradesman ).
Plus you can choose what colour walls and that without himself sticking his oar in, so it will be all yours.lovely.

I do hope you replied "well, the confirmation that my birthday doesn't matter to you yet again is all the confirmation I need that you haven't and won't changed. So do your self a favour, and stop being so pathetic. It's really not attractive"

Ha I know sky but aye was suggesting a bloody hover board 🤔

The boiler men are here, 2 of them are quite nice to look at I won't lie (I love a tradesman too Nige ) but I reckon I'm old enough to be one of their Mums!!

ginger that text would be perfect, he was always telling me how my jealousy and paranoia (which he caused and encouraged!!) wasn't attractive, so throwing that back at him would be satisfying right now
Buttttttt I'm going with a dignified silence atm, let's see if this helps

PS my house looks like a building site 😩

Haha I like my hovercraft suggestion, it's about as likely as me mastering Skype too
Dignified silence always pisses them off! Have you had "you'll never find anyone like me again" yet? I found "thank fuck for that" a good response to that.
Ooh sounds stressful, can you and the kids camp out with Mamacapes today?

Skype is unbelievably simple. why not try? (if you don't understand it you can delete,) just download the app. I have it on portable, as better for video chat.

Now I feel like I need to freaking hoverboard up to you to show you how to use skype 😂 even my DGM could vaguely use Skype and she never even figured out texting

Ooh hot tradesman! Its nice being able to look at hot people again isn't it?

XP tried the "you'll never find someone like me" the last time we broke up. Unfortunately for him he'd been pissing me about all weekend so I just said "that's the bloody idea!"

Hope the boiler goes in smoothly Capes

I'll give it a go Mix, I'll probably come back here mortified that I couldn't do it though I have Facebook but no other social media that I use regularly, I did sign up to Instagram but don't use it. I have Twitter because I needed to shout at Asda and their customer service wasn't helpful, but I don't use it to talk to people.

Haha Skyye I wish we could all get together, could you imagine the laughs we'd have! You'd have to bring cake though, and bread!
Enjoy your hot tradesmen Capes and Skyye I always seem to get the auld grumpy fuckers
XH was very fond of "you'll never find anyone like me", It's about the only time I'm glad he was right! What did your X say Skyye?

I can't remember but I'm pretty sure I hung up on him at that point so there was probably lots of huffing and puffing

I think you'll find you're the experienced cake maker here aye so if anything you should be brining cake
