    Unfortunately DS is not in the least bit interested in coming here ever, says if I want to see him I will need to go up there:o

    ungrateful little snot.. I'd have poked him in the eye for that one!! cheeky git!

    Her Dad said she started crying when he told her I wanted her to come down:cool:

    Was that because she thought you didn't want her to then was surprised that you did? What's he been telling her? Poor girly.. Or she suddenly realised how much she misses you

    I am hoping maybe at some point she will come and stay here, but I cant really see it:(

    Why not? When the novelty of being with her dad fades she might realise things aren't as green on that side of the fence

    And I do know how awful it sounds, that money has to be a consideration in the whole situaion

    I'd go with the cheaper option if either way it is only for 2 days

    Anyway enough about me......off to make breakfast:D


    it'll sort.. :D

    I want food too..

    That I think though is playing into his hands....I was ranting last night cos he said he wasnt gonna let her come down...he had taken time off work to be with her and had made plans etc
    Like I wouldnt want to see her over Xmas:rolleyes::mad:

    She is 8 and she would HATE to travel on her own ( ever probably:rolleyes:)...she is a strange child:rotfl:
    I will think on it overnight and see what he says.....I doubt he will give me Parent of the Year Award though:cool:


    Goodluck Jinks hope you get it sorted soon one way or another.

    Just a quick question to freecyclers....do you give out you address freely or do you meet the collectors/ givers at a neutral location?
    TIA xx

    I give them my address but I quite often say I will be out and leave it on doorstep for them this way they get what they want and I dont have to talk to strangers!!

    Morning lovely flyladies

    Not much flying for me today I am afraid, and I haven't read the thread either but I will make up for that tomorrow I hope.

    My hip seemed to click out or something last night and when I tried to get out of bed at silly o'clock as usual I basically couldn't, so stayed there til my OH woke up to help me. That's why I didn't log on to talk to Tris or post here. I text Tris so he knew. I put the tv on low and watched a DVD for an hour or so and then fell asleep again til my OH woke around 0830 and got me sorted out..

    I hope everyone is having a good day. I have my friend R from London coming over for the afternoon. She just finished her first round of radiotherapy for breast cancer. She is staying with her mum for Christmas (who used to be my art teacher when I was 13!!).

    with big hugs and supportive vibes to LadyL and Toots and anyone else who needs a few.

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.
    If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best...
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow.
