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:DFW Nerd 267. DEBT FREE 11.06.08
