The Compers Inn - Part 20

  • Do you remember me mentioning the problems with my catalogue account? Where it was showing the balance of more than I owe? Well now it's showing a MINUS balance of almost £10??? I really don't know what to do about it, it's probably cost me that much in phone calls to them over the last month!

    Also, my MIL has said to my DH that she thinks the kids shouldn't see (DH's) Grandma anymore due to how ill she is. Last time they were up there my DD was very upset at how bad her Gran was so I can understand why she's saying it but how do we tell the kids & how do we work round this? Obviously the kids can't be left on there own but DH still wants to see his Grandma regularly & she (his Grandma) still needs help with a lot of things which we can't just leave MIL to do (it's her Mum). I feel very torn at the moment about it all. I'm starting to feel pushed out again as well which isn't helping :(
    2025 - finally back comping after a stressful house move - send me fairy dust please

    on the subject of fake tan surveys, i did one for a company and it was so easy to use a wipe that you just wiped over your legs then it developed over 6 hours.

    i woke up the next morning and it was bloody glitter fake tan!!!! i was so brown and sparkly it was unreal.

    i look like i had those old american fake tan tights on you know the ones i mean ladies over a certain age. it took about 2 weeks to come off. oh the shame.

    since then i have found out, if you go swimming in a chlorine pool it comes off a lot quicker.

    The Rhys Jones story is so upsetting,hearing his mum talk about her boys last moments has really got to me, only 11 same age as Evan, So horribley sad and tragic. Just hope some idiot that carries a gun/knife might watch this and see the pain and damage they could do. xxxxx
