What are circle journals? I think I read about them on your other thread.

Like scrapbooking albums, but smaller and on a theme - so I've just completed an entry into 'all my own photos' CJ where the original person included the photos she wanted to have included int he album, and we make all the layouts (pages) in turn in our 'circle' before sending them on, eventually reaching the original person. Other themes, like the one I've just got back, are things like inspiration. I have another CJ to do today on 'My favourite song'. A difficult one!

well done on the marking, i know my BIL hates that part about teaching.

I really enjoyed the circle journal that we all did but haven't done one since. I do have to start the journal for the wedding but i feel the need to get some card stock together for it. I need much more neutral colours.

I enjoyed the CJ we did too - so long ago now!! Can't believe ISOM is selling all her craft stuff - she is so good Ooh yes, your wedding album - gotta get started on that while it's still all so fresh in your mind

I'm doing Bright Eyes for my song for the CJ - which has involved me listening to it again and crying, again!! Every time with that song!

i can't believe she's selling her stuff as well tis such a shame but i'm sure she know's what she's doing. I'm not sure i could be that strong. I'm doing a 28th album, (think on the site it's the 25th of the month but i've borrowed the idea). I've struggled with some of the months and it turns out there was no 28th of October well not that i recorded anyway so i'm not sure how i will be filling that page.

Well done sea :j Now share the mojo... I have one to do later :rotfl:

Oh ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,ARGHHHHHHHHH,ARGHHHHHH!!!!!!

Why did I ever get with such a git?!?!
I rang him to ask if he could pick up William as Sophia had another turn for the worse and was asleep and I was waiting on the dr ringing me back. He moaned as he said he had a party to go to, but then when I said ok then, he said he'd collect will. BUT he then came to my house first to pick up the car seat, started asking me all these questions about sophia, the chlidminder rang and I answered so he got into a right strop and stormed out. He then text saying he was doing me a fovour and I shouldn't be rude to him (!!!!!!?!!) so I replied saying if that's how he was going to behave he's not welcome in my house.

Upshot is, he now won't pay any child support til the CSA sort it out, which will be less than we'd agreed (it's not 'my' money !!!!!!, it's for the kids!!) and was foul. I then had to wait til he got back and then took the kids to the drs then over to morrisons to get the antibiotics for sophia, as she has !!!!! tonsils (blurghhh). He's such a git.

To top it off - and I know this is petty and I shouldn't get riled up - but the so-called 'doting family man' has bought himself a convertable. Yeah, really suitable for the kids. So the wonderful family car that we had has been traded in. Grrrrr.

I KNOW I shouldn't let myself get wound up...but it's so hard. Am now having a glass of wine to calm myself. We've not long been back from morrisons and the chlidren are still up, an hour after bedtime. What a great mother.

You ARE a great mother. Almost every post on here is concerning the welfare of your children. They are lucky to have you.

Now come on - you are a great mother!!!!! So what if the kids are up a little late these things can't be helped sometimes - after all it was because you were at the doctors and morrisons that you are running late! And sometimes - with idoits like your ex - you need a glass of wine! I know it happens to me often lol

The CSA thing is a pain! It would have been easier if he had paid voluntarily - but you will get it in the end - and it will be back dated to when they first contact him! I just don't get why some men seem to think they are doing something special to pay for thier own kids! It took me 12 years to get money from my first husband!!!!

Anyway - been thinking about you alot (sorry for not posting!) and hoping things are better with him gone! It is hard when little ones are poorly - sometimes it would be nice to have some one to share the sleepless nights - but you will get through this xxx
