    My ex just emailed me...

    Hi

    I have just found out from Sam that they are not going to yours again this weekend. Can I ask what it is preventing you from seeing them? Don't you want to see them? Once again my plans have to change as I am the last to know.

    c



    I've had enough of this. Going to bed. Bye.
  • Oh Mike, does the silly cow not know about the house? Did your boy not explain?

    xx
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Evening all!!

    It's been a couple of days, and it took me AGES to catch up, what with all the skirt hitching, poetry corner (which I loved btw "Dodge-ee builder" - Genius), match making builders, and broken boilers (SB - hope you get it fixed). Oh, and not forgetting, most importantly, lashings of evaporated milk!!

    I have been reading, and this is the first time I've been able to post. Good to see everyones enjoying themselves while I'm slaving away in work! :(

    Mike - Are you still on friendly terms with the ex, or is that meant to be taken as rude as it sounds??

    Hope everyone's doing well, and on a bright note, I got some great news today!! :)

    Really sorry to hear the funds won't be available in time for the treat :(:mad::(:mad::(.
    You can still look forward to it though, I hope?
    It's good you managed to get home in one piece and without resorting to the skirt and heels - 16 miles in heels is not a good prospect.
    By the way - struggling to keep up here! What a nice chatty lot of people you've brought together :)

    Hey hey. Glad you got it sorted and will be sticking around for a bit longer SB. Haha. Excuse the crap layout, i'm using my mobile cos i'm in bed.
    Well, i had the most awful morning. Had the docs to get my monthly checkup (ongoing illness). Everythings fine for now. Then went in to work and things went from bad to worse. I was so angry, got a pure bollocking from my MD, then he offered me a promotion and a payrise. I totally accepted. I'm so chuffed.

    Jonni's balls are not safe from me SB! I need all the tradesmen I can get! And I have a cellar to keep him in.

    Ref Mikes ex - I have an axe that could be strategically left in her head some time? Silly girl just playing games. Probably !!!!ed off because she can't go to her boyfriends this weekend.

    Im pretty chuffed I don't have a boiler after listening to all your troubles. I must admit when I rented I had an oil boiler that kept breaking down whenever there was snow on the ground. After 3 years of the same thing (and I would often go away and come home to a freezing house) I broke down sobbing on the phone to my landlord - that August a new boiler appeared! I guess I pushed him over the edge! :D

    Way to go with that promotion and a pay rise speirsro! Chocolate hob nobs and vodka are on you! :rotfl:

    Hi Mike - sorry not been on since this morning. Pleased to hear you get free dental treatment that is a real bonus, but sorry that the ex is being evil. You will make it up to your boys in the not too distant future. Easter hols coming up soon maybe they could stay with you longer than just the weekend. Chin up you had such a wonderful week this one was bound to be a little flat. Anyway Friday tomorrow and hoping for a better day than today - didn't leave the office until 9.00p.m. and winding down before going off to bed. Take care Billie xx:):)
