  • Hi
    just been reading through your posts and got a bit weepy at all good wishes....thanks so much
    had another not so nice encounter with daughter...not sure if calling police was a good idea...I also told them about assault so social services will become involved, I havent owned up to calling them she thinks it was her friends
    She pointed out that she is an adult and I hadnt arranged to bring GD back till 2 today..I still have her ..I said I would take her tonight
    She does have a point and said she wasnt with ex, dont know what to belive, when I asked where she was she had to think, she is prone to lying
    when she finds out I called them she will flip she has already said she doesnt want anything more to do with me ,but I can take Gd at weekends...I am scared she will not let me see her if she knows I called police

    Its a nightmare TBH at my wits end

    ok this just made me giggle....hope no one minds....

    One morning, the husband returns the boat to their lakeside
    Cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.
    Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out.
    She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up,
    And begins to read her book.

    The peace and solitude are magnificent.

    Along comes a Fish and Game Warden in his boat.
    He pulls up alongside the woman and says, 'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'

    'Reading a book,' she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't that obvious?')

    'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her.

    'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading.'

    'Yes, but I see you have all the equipment.
    For all I know you could start at any moment.
    I'll have to take you in and write you up.'

    'If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,' says the woman.

    'But I haven't even touched you,' says the Game Warden.

    'That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.'

    'Have a nice day ma'am,' and happy fishing ...

    this book might be helpful evenstar. the reviews here and on amazon.com on this and her earlier edition with a different title are all good. maybe worth a look.

    sounds great munchki but sounds like you really want the decadence of eating it all so go for it.
