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!

we are on FB people!

I did as mumsnet in site stuff to take SP out of the facebook thing, Ill bounce if if anyone would like to add their voices

Please can i have a VERY large drink. A really big one.

It's been one of those days today. And i suspect that tomorrow may be as well. And the day after.

Hello fellow witches BOMs...did I mention I'm on holiday!!!

DD upstairs watching a movie. Ordering a curry. Bliss

Hi dee- it's been a while

ah peace will reign here, DSD will come Boxing Day because she has enough fight to come and get her presents because she wants to see us, then DH is back in work, Im in Wed but have 2 weeks off in New Year, and I am am so looking forward to them, between ebaying and the rest I have barely seen them for 6 weeks, so I am so looking forward to spending some time with them :)

And I cant wait to see their little faces on Sunday, DS is so kind to DD he has only asked for 1 thing for him and 1 thing for her, (his idea), the mountain will suprise them so much :)

Dee!

Have this .

am trying to decide if I have energy to go out, steals wine while deciding

I'm debating between Rioja or Corbieres to go with my curry.

Decisions, decisions.

I'd like to go out, but have no one to go out with. Never mind, I shall have to make do with a bottle of vino and Mumsnet.

Ds is having. Major tantrum that involves physically throwing himself out out of cabin bed - maybe in a n e at this rate

Dh is DES tonight so he could take him

DES?

Designated Driver ?

DES - designated driver.

He is kindly fetching me alcohol while we go through a cycle of taking back to bed every 90 secs for up to 2.5 hours!

He doesn't like his bed much

Gin

Gin

Gin

ahaaa.

Well I can hear DS banging around upstairs and I really ought to go and sort him out.

Had a lovely curry.

Just settled DD for the night.

Rum'n'coke

Hang in there MJ it's very tough but has to be done, the whole sleeping thing.

I had a very boring tea, but am making up for it with wine and chocolate

oh Chocolate...

I have a -bottle- glass of wine, a child-free house, a chilli on the hob and a pile of presents to wrap.

It's the 'other parents' turn for Christmas this year - DSS arrives on 27th and DD on 30th; should I feel guilty that part of me is looking forward to a few days 'us time' with DP?

NADM- Absolutely not. Make the best of it.

Excellent, I'll open another bottle and introduce myself, then!

Mum to DD - eleven - who lives 50:50 with me and my arse of an exH (he's a good dad just lacking any social awareness) and non-resident SM to DSS, eight, who is struggling with the conflict caused by his mums hostility towards DP, me and anyone who doesn't agree with her
DP also has a fourteen yr old DD who hasn't spoken to him for a year because she gave him an ultimatum and he didn't throw me and DD out on the street as she demanded!

Damn - I need A LOT more wine!

Good grief, here's more

Hello NADM :)

I am not feling as festive as I tghought I would tonight.

You okay BH?
