I should be in Valli, but I am not in the mood


Every year all the girlies in the family go to the Panto in Glasgow.
Mum told me when it was, I booked my train ticket up yesterday to go and see the kids and panto and meet up with a FB friend.
Turns out I was never going in the first place, except my Mum never thought to tell me this. I feel like she is trying to cut me out the kids lives, she sure as Hell isnt talking to me:rolleyes:
She couldnt even bring herself to meet Daz and say goodbye to me properly before I moved...:(I have been trying to keep a lid on it since I moved down here, but last night just really upset me.
She didnt even tell me yesterday I didnt have a ticket to go.
She said she has cried rivers over me going, totally not thinking of the effect being apart from my kids is having on me....selfish ignorant *****


ETA: no mopping as yet:j:j:j:j

Post [STRIKE]ancient[/STRIKE] vintage tea towel to buyer

You know you really should tell us what makes tea towels 'vintage' and give us some pointers as to how valuable they are I'm sure LOTS of us have them lurking somwhere...

The sun is shining... revealing exactly how grim a state the house is in :eek:. So as I've been working late recently, I think I'm going to have to give it a quick S&S in daylight today. After I clean my teeth...

... oh... and for the second day in a row I opened the door to the SAME delivery driver, still in my PJs so in future, when I'm working from home I need to get dressed.

... I also need to work out how I'm going to wash my hair, seeing as the strapping doesn't come off my ankle till tomorrow evening, and I'm not going into the office with it grubby!

Hi Everyone

Just on to grab todays list, I have part done some of them.

Jinky - I just read your post, as I havn't kept up with this thread am not sure why your mum is treating you like this what a horrible thing to be going through after your big move away from Gods country :rolleyes:. We always go to the Pavilion Panto as well, its part of the kids christmas. So (((HUGS))) for you, you sound like you need it and also some chocolate Hope you feel better soon.

Well I better get back to work, my boss decided he was having another days holiday so am run off my feet trying to get everything done before I finish :mad: I never got any lunch yesterday as DS's childminder called, he had fallen on glass and cut his hand, its a really sore one and I had to give him calpol last night to settle him, he has sticky bandage dressing thingy on but he is at home with his daddy today holding his hand in the air all the time the wee soul :eek:

Hugs to you all, cannot keep up this thread moves so fast :A

I know she didnt like my decision to come down here, but I was damned if I did damned if I didnt:(
Its not even about the ticket really, its the misinformation or lack of info.

Before I left, my brother was coming back form Sudan for a few days, she sat in front of me, asking the kids where they would to go with him for dinner....never asked me....he has been out there for 8 months....but apparently I am not allowed to go out with them.....I know he is home soon, its not the first time she has done it either:mad:
