[Squirrel3]

Ah ha! I knew I could get it to the two thousand posts!!!!

Lol, well thanks for cheering me up.

Where is everyone?

it's okay. anytime.

DD started ballet today. (sorry to go on) How sweet, they didn't allow me and dsd in to watch so we peeked thru the key hole and watched for a while and sat in the changing room and waited. She told me how bm was talking about her changing her surname. DP will hit the roof

Changing her surname!!!I wouldn't blame your dp for going mad!! Surely she can't just change her surname without your dp's consent?

I bet your dd looks so cute.

This may be helpful.

DP and DSD here atm. So will discuss it tomorrow if that is alright. don't want to start a domestic. Had enough of them recenlty

just watching 100 greatest cartoons, they have just said that THE PINK PANTHER IS GAY.Why did I never pick up on this. DP is distraught.Think he may need counselling.Did anyone else realise this or was I just being naive.

Good morning everyone,

The issue of changing DSD name came up a long time ago and DP said no. Since then it hasn't been mentioned but now BM is saying that when DSD is 18 she can change it herself. to a triple barrelled thing (her maiden name, DP name and BM married name)Ridiculous. I told DSD that that was a sily idea as when sheis 18 she'll probably get married in the not to distance future and change her name again so she might as well stay as she is. DSD doesn't have DP name anyway. She has BM maiden name. But now Bm has got married DSD has a different name to both Bm and DP. I do feel sorry for her as I feel she has no real sense of Identity, she is neither one nor the other,. That is why DD has DP surname and not mine so if the same thing happened again she would still be connected to her dad. It sounds weird but makes sense to me.
Haven't mentioned the converation to Dp as I don't think thatit will actually come to anything and DP can be a bit of a drama king.
My other moan today is that DSD has got another F in maths and no one seems to be batting an eyelid. Am I other reacting. Maths is important isn't it?

Hello everyone

Our bloody phone line at home is broken so not been able to come on all weekend! That's the 4th thing now that's broken in just over a month. Needless to say, NAAM is not happy!!! BT are supposed to be coming this afternoon to fix it

Squirrel sorry you had such a bad time. Totally agree that your DP was completely unfair. As bm3sm2 said, he probably doesn't realise he's doing it, which doesn't make it any easier to deal with I know. What on earth is it with skids and remote controls?? I thought I was the only one who had this problem - nice to know otherwise. dsd is always flicking the channel over without asking, it really winds me up. Just over a week ago I was upstairs getting ready to go out, DP was in the bath, dsd was downstairs. I was trying to change the channel on the TV and dsd was cancelling whatever I put in!! I was absolutely fuming - DP did tell her about it tho. Her answer? "I thought it was you" - and instead of saying "well it doesn't matter who it was, you shouldn't have done it" he said "well it wasn't, it was NAAM" So I looked like the bad person again! Grrrrr!!!

Rant over

Squirrel how are things now? Have you and DP made up?

Told DP about our "girls night in" he thinks it's a great idea

workingmum DP would be furious too if BM wanted to change dsd's surname - she has DPs name. Don't think she'd ever do it tho, but you never can tell with BMs can you???

PMSL at the pink panther being gay Not going to tell DP, he'd be inconsolable too - he'd be joining yours for counselling

Do you think dsd isn't trying at maths? Agree it's one of the most important subjects, shame it's only who thinks it's a problem

NAAM, yes we 'made up', but I think that its always going to be an issue, him treating his kids differently than he does mine. I supose its only natural to put your kids first, but it does annoy me that I wouldn't dream of shouting at his kids the way he shouted at dgs. He is only 4, dss is 14 and should have known better than to take his 'doggy'. He knows that doggy is dgs's best friend, he has fallen apart and been sewn together so many times and doggy goes everywhere with him.

The little !!! (dss I mean)

Went clay pigeon shooting yesterday, did very well, I just pretended that the 'clays' were dp and dss!!!!!!

Just a quick hello. quite busy here at work. Doesnt look like everyone had a great weekend then. Mine was quite stressful too and dp has the dentist this afternoon so he'll be in pain tonight

Am ed about all this remote control!!! The remote is MINE unless I'm being nice or am not in the room. Dss gets force fed a diet of 'Poirot' et al., antiques programs (dp's choice) and history/documentary programs. Evil people that we are

Yes tarantula, but you have so may arms, to get the remote off you would be impossible!!!

lol at the legs Squirrel

Morning tarantula

Squirrel I agree that was awful of your dss , think you should remember what he's done and when he has children do it back and see how he likes it!!

Sorry, that's a bit childish of me

I'm a bit tired today, I never seem to get it right when DPs on nights - Saturday night I was in bed at 10 because I felt tired then last night I realised I was behind with my jobs and ended up not going to bed till quarter to midnight! I never learn, silly NAAM!!

PMSL laughing re the legs Squirrel.

14 yr old boys are just the limit arent they. Dss can wind up dd in seconds and without even doing anything at all most of the time mind its in a good way even if the shrieks and yells get a bit wearing after a while. Snatching his comforter was just downright mean and nasty tho.

Gooooooooddddddddddddddddd Morninnnnnnnnnnggggg!!!! It is Birthday Girl here, back on form and raring to go!!!! How are you all?

HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FANC

A BIG, MASSIVE, HUGE welcome back to you

How are you doing?

[big fat emormous birthday hug emoticon]

Hi NAAM

Im okay thank you, wishing I wasnt at work tho

However, had a lovely big bouquet of flowers from my boss today and that really cheered me up!!!!

DP is cooking me a meal tonight so that will be nice too.

How are you all? What have I missed? Quite a bit by the looks of it!

Lovely to have you back FANC,

Flowers from your boss! Well you do work hard for him, too hard IMO.

Have a lovely day!

Thank you Squirrel , how are you today?

Got the day off because I've not been feeling too well lately, that will please the new boss, it will annoy her more when I phone up after lunch to tell her that I'll be late tomorrow too because I've got to go to the hospital to have blood tests first thing tomorrow. Oh well, never mind eh?

Got an interview a week on Thursday Hopefuly I get it so I can tell them to stick this job!

Sorry, back to dss and the snatching of the comforter, I have spoken to dd and dgs told her that dss had told him he was going to put doggy down the toilet and flush the chain!!!! No wonder dgs kicked him! I might have kicked him myself if I'd heard him {wink]

OOOps! I mean ....

or do I?

Blimey, far too busy for a Monday!!!!

FANC - flowers off your boss??? Gizza job

Squirrel your poor dgs - don't suppose it's worth saying anything to your DP is it? Doubt he'd do anything. I probably still would tho if it were me

Oh I moaned! and moaned, and moaned about it!!!

He was trying to get around me yesterday by doing the housework and cooking dinner but that isn't going to solve the problem. Now where's that clay pigeon shoot again?

I don't know if its because of his age (dss) but he really is winding me up lately... and I looked at dsd this weekend and realised that she seems to have all of a sudden started to hit puberty and I know from experience that teenage girls are far worse than teenage boys!!!

God help me!!!!

You know you could be right there - it probably is his age but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with does it? The only consolation I can think of is that when he eventually does grow up I'm sure he'll realise what a git he was to you and he'll think more of you for it, but again that doesn't really make it any easier for you I know It makes me so bloody angry when these men won't make their children behave like ordinary human beings. Do they think they're doing them a favour by letting them be complete brats?? Grrrrrrr!!

BT have been and fixed our phone so we'll wait for the next thing to go wrong now....
