afternoon all!

NPM - (((hugs))) sorry to hear about the dentists x

Candygirl - (((hugs))) try not to worry, sounds like your DD would miss your babaysitting services too much to stop Boo seeing you - a case of cutting off her nose to spite her face I think!:D

off to SW soon - Its a good excuse for an evening out and a natter with my friend!:D

Candygirl Sorry that your DD is being like this it's an awful situation. Big hugs to you hon :A For what it's worth I'd be tempted to tell her that she cannot use your grand daughter as a pawn in a mind control game. It's not fair to Boo or you. Maybe a gentle reminder of the many times that you have Boo overnight too may be in order? Your DD is very lucky that you do so and so regularly as well. Many grand parents, including mine due to them both working when the children were babies, don't look after their grand children as much.

I'll be sending some special vibes your way xxx

No news of Diva yet. I'm getting a bit worried think I'll pop over to the Flyladies and see if anyone on there has heard anything. I don't want to be bothering her OH when he's no doubt trying to work & hospital visit etc.

Talk later

Lowesy - Thanks for your kind words

Re the fuel for your holiday - do you know how many miles you get to a full tank? If so the easiest way would be to work out the cost per mile then head onto www.theaa.com for the mileage for your journey. They may even have a fuel calculator on there.

Have done the minimum required today - have had about a million phone calls and dozed on the sofa for a while as have to go to work tonight as we have a driver to cover who doesn't know the paperwork and stuff.

Kids are on sleepovers luckily, will be a very non os takeaway for tea.

Just popped in to see if there was any word on Diva.....won't get back in tonight but will check in the AM Keeping her in my thoughts.

{{hugs}} for candygirl, so stressful for you and so unfair your DGD. Hope it's sorted soon for all of you.

Hope everyone has a nice calm evening

Celyn, pardon my ignorance but if your husband snipes at his parents why does he invite them over? Are these the ones where the mother waves a stick over the food or am I mistaking someone elses family outlaws?

Hi Candygirl - I think you need to call her bluff. I know you really love your granddaughter but you cant let her hold you to ransom. I know it will be hard to stand your ground but she cant keep doing this to you. I know what its like as i have two older kids who regularly try it on but i have recently had to stand firm and have respect for myself. Its called Tough Love - I had a thread about it. Hugsxx

Hi everyone:o
Am still reeling from yet another major tantrum from DD yesterday, all for nothing:(:(She said yet more hurtful things, and threatened me not to see Boo anymore:(:(She is in a relationship with a much older bloke who seems ok but I don't really know, he is still married, but separated, and has lied a few times about important stuff so i'm understandably wary for her n boo but haven't said anything against him.She ranted saying I was jealous of them etc:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I was supposed to be having Boo again last night, but she said she wasn't letting her come, so I went shopping, and she rang me asking what time did I want her:mad::mad:Any tips much appreciated;):o

Awww Candy, sorry you are going through this again, i know how much you love your dd and boo, but you need to stand your ground, and perhaps say no to her, I don't think she will stop you seeing boo as she needs you too much. You have to look at it in a different way too, she is teaching boo that its all right to treat you like this, and its just not on, big hugs my darling xx (sorry if I have spoken out of turn )
