  • Polka - does she go to the same playschool or anything as you? If so, can you leave it at the office for her? Or can you leave it with a joint friend or something? if you can, don't tell her what you're doing until you've done it, then she can't answer it with a no can she? Don't stress yourself about someone elses hang-ups - you've tried, she is a cow and that's that! Keep your spirits up girl, you're better than that and you need to remember it! Take care (and your meds if you still can!) ;)

    well done polkadot
    that was just a brilliant email that you sent

    you faced the bully head on and she didnt like it!!!!

    :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T

    toots xx

    You think so? Is that why her email was so long and mean... and the stuff about hurting her DD? Was that a reaction? I've never done anything like this before...I normally either just fade away, or take the blame for something so they have an excuse (yes, Ive had a few others like her-But Im learning so many new things about myself over the last few months)

    Oh I give up-Im so angry now (and realised just now Ive not had my meds today). Im not going to bother. I hate the whole situation-I feel cheated...Im always mister nice guy and yet Im always made out to be the one that caused the trouble.

    Oh honey dont feel bad!!! With trash like her - its always the same - they twist things around to make people look/feel bad to hide their own crap behaviour. You are a lovely fantastic person.

    I think I would be tempted to stick it in a post box without any stamps and then she can pay for the postage!!! get rid of it one way or another and get her out of your life - she is a mean wicked person and doesnt deserve any friends.

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine

    Excellent idea toots, that's exactly why we will miss you, you have such good ideas - she wanted to pay postage - well pay on delivery!

    Also Polka, like you say, she knows your address, and if she's that bothered why hasn't she just sent it anyway? Don't waste your time and effort any more, get rid of it one way or another and st*ff her!

    Thanks Denise. Have taken my meds-no common activities (which I guess is a good thing). I'll just leave it where it is for now and see what DF thinks when I've got over my wobblies.
    Triker You know how you always say "that Thang"...I know it sounds odd but thanks for saying it just now. Every time I read it I hear my dads voice. He also always calls things "Thangs", and especially when he's giving one of us a proud squeeze about the shoulders:). I miss him.
    Oh dear Im all weepy now, Greenbee's not looking...may I PLEASE go have a cig now?

    ETA And me with my minimals with Toots on her way into the hospital again, Im sorry. But you just reminded us again why 6 days will seem so loooonnng:)

    Right.. now you listen here.. you are NOT allowed under ANY circumstances to let this person irritate you any longer..

    Avoid that cigarette to spite her.. she doesn't want you to succeed in stopping smokingso she has upset you.. and it will irritate her more knowing that you don't NEED her any longer.. she has said she doesn't need you.. but you have a lovely guy there and your wee man and you don't NEED anyone but them!.. besides :confused: you have me... :D
