The Step Parents Refurbished Wine Bar

[BarfTheHeraldAngelsHeave]

The refurbished SP Wine Bar is once again open, as while you don't have to drink to be a Step Parent, it helps.

Contact changed at no notice?

Disney Dad and sulky Skids?

Damned if you do and damned if you don't???

Ahhh, thats better!

[Smile] moved onto cheap red that do bought home from Romania. It's drinkable squiffy Nothing to write home about, but the box cost about 3 quid, so I wouldn't expect much!

Let you know in the morning

I like the theory. Did it work?

Ah I am a firm believer in the cheaper the alcohol - the worse the alcohol

So I am busy convincing myself as tanquary 10 as it is expensive won't give me a hangover!

That made no sense to I'm afraid

I'm heading for bollixed - tanquary = no hangover - it's the good stuff

Sod it - I was going to give my liver a rest but is my friend and I am loyal to my friends.

its def gin o clock in our house, I have had lots of them :)

Shuffles in with mega grumps....

Bloody kids!

Roll on gin o'clock

couldnt face alcohol last night, was still hungover from friday!

MJ, hi! You here for a hair-of-the-dog? It always takes me a couple of days to get over a hangover - I'm such a lightweight!

Mind you, I'm still recovering from a girlie shopping trip with DD yesterday - combat boots and a black/grey wardrobe were purchased - whatever happened to my little girl!?!
Can't help but think that if things were different how DSD could have been with us too

Boo :)

Here have some

Its not nice to think of but if anything should ever happen to you and DH, DSD would be considered favourably and even expected to be a potential guardian for DS because of their shared parentage.

oh god, that means that if anything god forbid should happen to me and DH, DSD would be a potential guardian for DD, doesn't it? Now I need a drink.

Gimmie a drink and make it a large one. I'm on day three of a diet and dear god do I want to line up a platoon of cute fluffy animals and punch the crap out of the lot of them!!

Drink, did someone mention drink?

I love my 39 year old series 3 landy, really I do, but I must stop expecting him to start when I really need him to!

BARF WTF? They are blood relatives! What does he expect from you?

Its not nice to think of but if anything should ever happen to you and DH, DSD would be considered favourably and even expected to be a potential guardian for DS because of their shared parentage. How can she not be a 'significant adult' in his life?

Too early for gin, but I'd be tempted in your place!

I would put her on the form.

What planet is he on? FFS

Knob you are ok to provide for her and have his children but not to think of her as your family

Good morning evil steps. I've been up for hours with my evil children.

Anyhow I need to fill in some forms for ds which have a section for "family and significant adults that may or may not live with the child"

DH doesn't think I should include DSD.

I can't help thinking WTAF?!? How is his half sister a) not family and b) not significant???

I can't believe that after 10 sodding years he still has her compartmentalised off like that. It's like his announcement that he'll (and by default, we'll) be supporting her for another 5 years as she's decided to do her MA and PhD. Don't get me wrong, I'm exceptionally proud of her, but it's hard to be enthused when you are expected to bend and adapt and provide at every turn, but not allowed to consider her part of MY family, but part of HIS even though it's the same fucking thing

Sorry for the rant, but my tits are well and truly got on.

I'm running out of decent booze - I may have to booze run tomorrow

half a bottle of wine and a small port later, I feel a bit better

Here it's lovely :)

Me please .
