  • Hiya,

    Did you miss me? *crickets chirp* Didn't notice I was gone? Ok. :D

    @ Maz - Good luck for tonight. My parents split when I was 13 and the only advice I can give is make sure you tell her the split isn't her fault and be prepared for her to not believe you. I'm nearly 20 (:eek:) and have only just stopped blaming myself for my parents splitting. In fact, it's only because of writing this that I realise I don't blame myself anymore. Oh, and do just keep it brief. My mum still goes on about how she regrets hurting my dad every time I see her. It drives me mad. I'll probably get it this weekend too.

    The house move is finally sorted. :j I now have boxes everywhere, again. I'm going to my mum's this weekend so unpacking will have to wait until Mon. It's a gorgeous house though, absolutely huge. I've got loads of room to put all my stuff so from now on, I plan to try to keep things somewhat tidy.

    Someone's nicked the last £35 hotel room for Weymouth! :mad: :( I can't afford the next one up so I'm going to wait until closer to the time when we know what we're doing when and see about coming down by train for a few hours on the Sun. I'm determined to meet you lot before Bristol.

    Anyway, I'm starving so I'll go see what's in the fridge. Oh, that's another thing. Two fridge/freezer units between 5 of us and there's only two of us moved in so far. I can batch cook! :j

    Maz I don't want to project or anything but he is a sh*t if he says that to her. She is a child FGS and quite frankly your reasons for separating are not really for her - she just needs to know she is loved by both of you. Sorry. My dad said this to me once - that it wasn't HIS fault he never saw me, it was all my mum's fault because she threw him out. I was 6. I didn't have a clue at the time but 20+ years on guess who's funeral I would never attend? OBVIOUSLY there is more stuff but it's just a long line of dodging responsiblity and it starts small.

    If I can do anything practical to support you I will.

    Maybe the EA is pulling a fast one, maybe. But if it is already cheap for area/size then you're not really being ripped off, which is the crucial thing. Decoration etc can still be done uber cheap and it is the little things that make a house a home. What good dept stores are close by you? It's sale time :)

    Eta: I don't mean that you should keep Erin in the dark, you know her best and what she can/can't deal with and in later years I wished there had just been a bit more honesty from my mum - not at the time of the separation perhaps but then I was younger than Erin - but there is a difference between saying 'me and your dad aren't getting on/don't love each other anymore' and saying 'it's all your mum's fault', I hope you get where I'm coming from

    OK I'll let you test it out first :p

    Just realised I've not heard anything from that job I applied for - been two weeks and the advert is no longer on their website so I guess I probably won't.. ho hum.
