I honestly prefer the dishevelled man - maybe more Johnny Depp for instance?! *sigh* (best check DH is not looking over my shoulder)

Real crap day today

Started well got Martin's email just after midnight and I desperately need a new watch so ordered one :money:but probably will be out of stock or something

Two meetings with Social Services today about our little girl. A few months I floated the idea of us adopting her as she still had not found a family and was basically told no chance so forgot about it. Last week SS bought it up and basically said we could apply but to discuss it especially with our older children as they would have responsibility for her if anything happened to us which we did and we all agreed we wanted to go ahead. Found out today from a different social worker that we again had no chance and no idea why previous one would suggest it (she is now off sick) and how sorry they were blah de blah. I am so mad and so upset how could they do this to us feel like they just regard us as files to pass from one tray to another not human beings with feelings :mad:. Even if latest plans for adoption go smoothly and she has been turned down twice already she will be with us until September at least by which time she will have been with us almost two years

Then got home all upset to find house invaded by OD's partner's step father and his partner who I don't like so couldn't even go into my own house ended up in the office until they had gone - upshot was I have said Od's partner has to leave sick of having my house hijacked, terrible atmosphere all the time as he will not talk to us unless he has to and leaves the room when we come in put up with it for 8 months he makes no effort no contribution financially or in any other way to the household and enough is enough so goodness knows what is going to happen now don't know if OD and new GD will go with him or stay:(

Car did pass its MOT which being 10 years old and having 150K miles on the clock is amazing - but everything else is poop

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that DT. There are so many stories of children in care needing a good home.....why can't they set the wheels in motion and make this one child's life better???
That really does suck

As for OD's partner, again how accommodating and generous have you been?! I think you are right to mark where the line is and that you have had enough. He needs to take some responsibility.
Hope tomorrow is better xx

Sorry to hear that you've had such a crap day!!!

SS totally irritate me....no wonder you are upset....you are good enough to look after her and see to all her needs but not good enough to adopt her..that is awful!!!!...I really feel for you.

As for DDs boyfriend..you are right to put your foot down...I think if she does move on with him that she'll soon be back with you having seen the error of his ways when they have to fend for themselves...she knows what side her breads buttered....but I know it's hard for you thinking about it but you are definitely right.

She has not said she is going but she hasn't said she isn't they are visiting his mother at the moment - doubt they will go there don't think there is enough room. His grandparents did say he could go there when he first moved in when we got fed up of him - they obviously knew him better than we did :rotfl:

They did move in together 12 months ago it lasted 3 months and we ended up bailing them out we are not doing that again:mad:

My OS is back from Uni today not the best welcome but he is lovely and very understanding and there has not been a scene but it is all very upsetting
