Nutty Stepmum's Club (NSC) - Who Wants To Join Us? (Thread 2)

[Squirrel3]

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

Blimey, I have just had a phone call from Amnesty International, they have seen my CV and they wondered if I would be interested in a job with them!

I was in the bath and they left a message, it sounds like a highly stressful job though, I'll have to research it when I get back from the dentist! Probably won't take it or go for an interview even, it is to far away, to much traveling but its nice to be asked.

I wonder where they saw my CV?

It probably someone taking the P!

Are you registered with Monster or anything similar? Could have been something like that

Hope dentist and doctor goes well

Am off now, will let you know what happens. Talk later....

Byyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeee!

I am really not looking forward to this.......

Oh poop! Apparently I have split my tooth in half and the nerve is exposed (no wonder its been painful) The dentist doesn't think she is going to be able to save the tooth, She has given me anti-biotics to make sure I don't get an infection and she is going to see me in a weeks time to see what they are going to do, she thinks that the tooth may have to be removed and a crown put in.

I have just saved enough for the veneers but the dentist told me that it is out of the question for now because they can't do anything with the tooth that is broken. It a front tooth, oh poop, poop, poop!!!!! In any case the money I have saved will have to go towards this treatment now!!!!

~sigh~

And oh, I forgot the worst thing........

........................................

She told me no alcohol, the anti-biotics react badly to them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no! That's awful. I know you were saving to get your teeth done, what a shame

But at least you can join my no alcohol club

What did the doctor say?

Doctor? I don't know what you mean? [innocent emoticon]

You didn't go did you?

Come on, tell auntie NAAM

I thought you were going to moan at me, well, no excuses - I just couldn't face it.

The dentist made me feel stupid at first, she told me that she would have to get a magnifying glass to see the very small chip in my tooth FFS I knew it was a small chip but it was painful, it wasn't until she had a proper look that she realised that I had split the tooth in half (going from the bottom all the way up to the top) and the nerve was exposed, then she had to eat her words and admit it must be painful.

I don't need the same from my Dr, I feel stupid keep going up there and having test and them finding nothing wrong, its embarrassing, I don't like Dr's at the best of times, I feel as if the think I am some kind of hypochondriac.

I know dp is going to loopy when he gets in...

I had another phone call about a new job while I was out too! I'm in demand, I should be able to pick and choose and not just take the first one that is offered to me, I am going to be really careful this time.

Well if you really couldn't face it tbh I don't blame you for not going, I would have probably done the same. No-one can force you to go if you don't want to - and don't let your DP be too hard on you either. I do feel sure though that they wouldn't just fob you off and tell you there's nothing wrong with you, surely they'd listen to you?

Yes I agree you should be very careful about your next job. I know what you mean though, I once took the first job I was offered and it was horrendous, hated every second of it

I've just had that blooming electrician around again, he said he had 'forgotten' to do a couple of bits....

I let him in and he started to muck about with the electric meter and he started to talk about his wife and how their relationship is going wrong etc...

I am so bloody stupid, I believed him at first and was going to try to give him advice etc.....

Stupid, stupid, stupid.......

Why do men think blonde hair and big boobs = easy?

BTW I told him to get lost!!!!!

I can't belive how upset I am, I'm shaking, I've got a driving lesson at 4pm.

What a complete d*ckhead!! Glad you told him to get lost - I'd have put it stronger than that I think, well done you

Think about nice things, that usually calms me down. Think about your lovely dgd and her gorgeous smile

That smile of hers (and her blue, blue eyes) are exactly the same as my grandads (I still really miss him) Its lovely to see the resemblance, its like a part of him is still with me - if that makes any sense at all.

Got to run, driving leson.

Talk later, maybe.

cough cough sniffle

I'm sick

Oh dear wmnhs poor you Just what you dont need for the w/end

sods law. I'll be ok by monday when i have to go back to work

Sorry you are feeling ill workingmum, hope you feel better tomorrow.

Blooming men!!!!

Got in from work today and ds expected me to network his lap-top to my PC as soon as I got in. I hadn't even got my coat off and he was going on about me doing it there and then. I had a look, and of course, it's not that easy, it is going to take longer than the half hour he wanted it to take me, and of course, he had a strop so I told him I would look at it later, much later.

Actually I might need a little of your expert knowledge Tarantula when I get around to it, pleeeeease.

I could really do with a drink this evening but I can't!!!!! Boo Hoo!

hope you're feeling better soon workingmum

squirrel that's men for you unfortunately, they all think the world revolves around them

How much weight have I lost in the last week??????

Have a guess......

7 pounds

Well done Naam thats brilliant. So pleased for you.

What exactly does ds want you to do Squirrel? Brain aint working this time of night mind Just popping in before bed. Was up WAY to early this morning.

Have had BM creating too today .Grrrr Well I suppose its been a while so I guess its been good while it lasted. Dp walked out of her house cos she started loosing it and dd was getting upset not to mention dss. Hes not happy about it all but dp thinks hes stirring things too to get attention so that doesnt help. Anyway she rang a few times tonight but hopefully shell sober up and calm down tomorrow and things wil blow over. Crossed fingers.

Well of to bed now Have a good weekend everyone.

how do you explain, given my history, that you don't necessarily get glandular fever thru kissing someone.

looked it up on netdoctor. (i know bad idea) but I have all the symptoms. It won't take DP long to realise that it is also known as the "kissing disease"

Tarantula, that's horrible having a go at your dp in front of the kids, don't blame him for walking out. I hope your dd wasn't too upset, but kids her age forget quite quickly (thankfully) but what about dss, it must affect him, (its a really good thing he has you for stability). I hope things have blown over, I can't understand people who get drunk and want to have a row. Hang on, what time was it? You say dp was picking up dss, what was she doing getting drunk at that time of the day? I hope things are better today.

ds wants me to network the home pc to his laptop using an ADSL router, so that he can use the laptop for the internet, but my pc doesn't seem to be recognising it. I've installed it, the laptop is acknowledging that it is there but when it comes to changing the modem for the router one I can't seem to find it to change it, don't know if that makes sense (it is only 7.30am, and my tooth really hurts).

Had another row with dd yesterday, its the same old thing "why don't you have the grandkids as much as you have the stepkids"! She makes me so angry sometimes. We was out fishing, she phoned and got stropy because I couldn't have the kids there and then, she started to shout and moan that I can't have the kids during the week because I am working late most days (how inconsiderate of me, ) so I should have them weekends (the same as the stepkids). Also she is annoyed because she can't use my phone while I am at work and she hasn't got a landline and she never has any credit on her mobile. I think that she is back with her 'waste of space' dp, which means she will be back on the puff and not taking the AD's because he will take the P and make her feel worse.

Aaaaaarrrrgh! angry]

I landed up putting the phone down on her, feel really guilty now though, I know I shouldn't, but I do. Don't really know what to do with her for the best. It's so frustrating!

Well done on losing 7 pound Naam!

Sorry, I've got more to rant on endlessly about, its ok you can turn off the computer, I won't be offended.
~sigh~

BM phoned DP to tell him that her and her dp are splitting up, so he has to give her more money because she is going to miss her ex dp's money and she 'can't manage' on her wage and what my dp gives her!

I told dp that it is not his fault that they have split-up, her ex dp will have to support the baby they have had together, dp will support his children, end of. I told him that BM will now have to live within a budget and the kids can't have new designer outfits every week (honestly, dsd turns up here nearly every weekend with a new outfit, still with the tags on!) and she (BM) will not be able to go abroad three to four times a year like she is used to (poor BM! Doesn't your heart bleed for her?)

DP has been in a filthy mood all day, I realise he is worried about his kids and I told him to ask BM if she wanted us to have them for the day so that they could have a break from the situation and she could have a bit of 'space' to get her head together away from the kids but she didn't want that.

What more can I do? Why is dp so upset that they have split up? and why is he taking it out on me?

BTW, I know that any day she will start to try to get back together with dp - she has tried it before when her and her dp have had an argument.

So much stress, think my head will explode! [exploding head emoticon]

Oh Squirrel tahts the last thing you need. I know the feeling re taking out bad moods on us too. Dp was in a foul mood Friday night. Rant all you like on here thats whats we are here for. Too right on the money front too. Let her learn to budget same as the rest of us do.

so sorry to hear dd is back with WOS. dope is jsut no good when you are down or depressed. ~sigh~ Sorry cant thnk of anything to say taht would help.

Have to say BM wasnt drunk when dp went round there and she first had a go. Twas a bit early even for her. She went out after they had left and rang up later that evening and had another go. Still out of order mind. Poor dss he just shrugged and said 'oh shes just pissed. She'll calm down tomorrow' . Feel so sorry for him and there just isnt anything I can do to help him. Yeah am glad dd is so young as she'll forget it quickly.

Hope you are feeling better soon WMNHS GF is awful.

Tarantula, it not fair that the ex winds up our partners then we cop the bad mood is it?

As for the money situation, dp already pays more than the CSA would make him pay, we really struggle to make ends meet and go without so that the kids don't have to, BM beter think again if she wants more money from dp. I think he will tell her exactly where to go, we talked to dp's parents about it yesterday and they were of the same opinion as me "let her learn to live within a budget".

Your poor dss, my stepkids have very much the same opinion of their mother as your dss does his "Oh, she is just angry/pi$$ed/got PMT, she will be ok tomorrow". Its a really bad way to act when you are suposed to be a role model. I'm glad my kids never felt the need to say that. All you can do for dss is be there for him and show him that not all women are the same. Some of us are quite nice!
