    What is the point?

    I won't gain anything.. I CSA him.. he stops paying the bankloan I have an extra £280 a month to fork out to cover that and have even less than I have now.

    Glad you got somedecentnews from the doc.. ragardless of todays boredom.

    How is skinny min getting on at school this week?


    There is a very cute monkey in build-a-bear at the moment.. he has a huge smiley face.. very cute...


    Not bad, some trouble today but appears to be ok, she told the teacher and the name caller was sent out of class....my tolerance is very low at the mo and I'm all out of patience on lots of issues.

    What do you need a monkey for, you'll be getting a baby soon, you don't need a stuffed toy.

    Shame that you are 'held to ransom' by you ex, he has a moral and legal duty to provide for his children, plus whilst you're having to manage on benefits he should be 'topping' these up, in some shape or form....to be honest it effing winds me up that people get away with not providing for their children.....speaking as one who hasn't had a penny from my ex.:mad:


    Message for all you non providing absent parents.....you are the biggest set of low life selfish scum that should never have had children, you don't deserve them, you pieces of shoite!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:


    I'm a bit on one tonight, can you tell?:rotfl:


    I have rinsed a dish that had allegedly milk in it this morning, but appeared to be forming yogurt by this evening.:eek:

    Morning all

    coffeeandfags - joining in the chat is not compulsory - don't worry about it. xxxx

    Slept well extraordinary well last night which was nice. But, I didn't water the garden last night because I thought it would rain.

    It didn't.

    So, I ought to go and do it now before I go to work.

    Oh, talking of rain - Crafty, did you have a good holiday in Northern Ireland?

    Not looking great yet but i'll catch up a good bit today. Need to nip into bank today, get juice for the car, go for walk.
    Cuppa then school run.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
