Love a plan, so holding out hope for yours Purple
Nats I love the way you write, you really make me laugh. I can just imagine what you mean about DD's relationship with her dad when she's a teen. You said he'd spent a couple of weeks in the woods before. Could you persuade the DM to do an interview with him there? I'm thinking "Lonely father driven to forest existence" If you sew the prawn cocktail crisps into his Grisly Adams fur suit perhaps a hungry bear will chase him.
Greencar How does your ex WN contact you to hassle you? Is it the usuals, eg phone, text, email, face-to-face? Seems so unfair you have to be bombarded with all their crap.
Ds said to me tonight that ex says to him and his sister "You'll have to speak to your mother...... ask your mother" He said "mother" in a silly, pompous voice and was laughing. I laughed along with him. Then he said at least he doesn't call you XXXX anymore (the horrible nickname). He's really getting the measure of him.
Twat is going to his xmas play this week, I'm going the next day. Two tickets per family, very strict, always been the way, health and safety etc. Dd comes downstairs and says dad says she can go with him (she can't) she can sit on his lap. I said you can't, the numbers are for safety, what if half the hall took an extra child on their lap. Cue eye roll and sighing, and a call to dad to say she couldn't come. So typical of him to think the rules don't apply to him. No doubt his parents will be saying isn't Dusters awful stopping DD going with him. Good. Crack on.
