    Big hug hun. Would you like us to do a joint MSE effort and send him negative thoughts? You never know, it might just work.

    (sending negatives as I type)

    I'm sure your ex is my ex..we don't even see him and all the time he still gets to me where it hurts the most...money!


    I think it's CSA time as payback Pammy:D
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore

    I feel like making a voodoo doll on your behalf Pam. What a horrible thing to say. If you were out gallavanting then fair enough, but it is an essential medical procedure. How can one human be so mean to another? Not many women can do that to their children can they.

    chamichelle has put it really well.

    Your ex is a nurk, and a twit and a fool, who does not seem to think about what he says, or he would realise he is talking rubbish. :mad:

    You are both parents of the kids so you are both responsible for them, it isn't all down to you.

    It is really sad that things are like that between you. I shall instead of negative thoughts send hopes that this improves and he is less unhelpful and awkward.

    Great that hopefully his parents can do their bit and look after the kids for you, that sounds fair. It is a shame he can't do it himself, but the good thing is that you are hopefully sorted now.

    His mum rang me tonight, granted she didnt want to comment on her son, which is fair enough but she just said that they are more than willing to have the kids, they are lovely kids and no bother at all. She said that she will make him pick them up and drop them off to them and that they will drop the kids back to me when I am ready. She also said if I have no one to stay with me then I can go back with them for a few days as well.
    She did say that its a shame that two nice ladies (that being me of course ;) and her really cant get along. It is completely daft as I have never met the woman but had a few nasty texts from her over the years. And I only get what the kids tell me about her which is not good. She also said that she hasnt seen her since their visit here at xmas as she didnt visit when Ex took the kids over last month.

    To be honest I dont think he sees it as doing it to his children, its more not going out of his way to help me. That is a complete no no in their eyes.

    I almost want to use psychological warfare and send him a really apologetic text and be completely nicey nicey to throw them off guard ;) But they might see it a different way as if I am admitting I was wrong. I need to word it so it sounds nice but with a hint of sarcasm hahaha

    If you need any help with the sarcasm then just ask. It's my forte!

    I am working the date of your op so thats ok for a lift. I can stay at yours if you need someone there too. I would just have to play musical houses for a bit. ;)

    oooh I have a nurse on hand, how brilliant is that :D
    What hours do you normally work? Thank you for your kind offer, considering we only just met a few weeks ago haha. I might have a pamsitter for the evening so should be ok

    Shame you havent had any more viewings, I thought when you got the other two they were really quick, looked good.

    Am obsessed with the tesco price check thread now, knew I would get really involved in it, spreadsheets and everything lol

    well after not much money making and being really slack on the surveys I rec'd my GTM cheque today £30 and my Hewlett P pn TCB cleared so have claimed £28 on there. I am on track to OP £300 hopefully by end of month to knock another month off. Have to get my mums bday and mums days stuff tomorrow plsu DS1s theory test voucher so it might put a dent in it :(

    Am so so tired today, all day. I even cried at work today when this mad woman had a hissy fit down the phone! Promised kids they could go to the park today as they couldnt go yesterday so forced myself to do that. They'll be going to be shortly and I will following. How come I can always manage to go to bed early on a weekend evening??

    Have you tried the Tesco DTD yet? I started looking at it last night and planning what I would buy this weekend and now they have changed the price promise! I am gutted! Oh well!

    Grrrrrr! At your Ex-OH! Why are some men like that when it is THEIR kids too! Sounds like you more than make up for him though!

    Hope you have a lovely weekend
