    Morning all!

    My delightful son has no concept of mummy needs beauty sleep cos she's off out getting messy tonight, god love him! Oh turned up at 1am so not too bad but he refused to in back to bed, which is annoying cos I wanted him to remember tomorrow that I got up so he could sleep when i'm wallowing in self pity tomorrow morning:rotfl:

    I think it goes without saying that I agree with sami, ss and sarah's posts late last night. Things that stood out for me personally i've already mentioned in an earlier post, but another thing was the alleged four figure back pay out from tax credits - they cap the amount received at either 6 weeks or 3 months worth, i'm afraid I cant remember which at this time of the morning, but I do remember a mention of around £7000 yearly entitlement. I also remember early posts saying he has some help from a sister in law with the girls, but later saying there is no female role model for them so having Lucy around is good for them. Of course I do understand situations change as well though, its just something that's never sat right with me.

    i did not see the posts from MOTM regarding helping his daughter with TOTM. for me it was the visit to the MW.

    anyhoo...thanks for everyone posting their suspicions things make a bit more sense now as to why people are concerned.

    Ah Michelle, what a nightmare :(

    I agree with Sami that recording him would be good and perhaps keeping a diary of it.

    And good morning lovely people - it was an early one here, with my beastie showing no consideration for my very late night. But I love her so it's ok. She is amusing herself with her omelette while Husband cleans up a nasty mess in the kitchen, caused by a rogue potato that fell under the potato storage box and is now creating an army of reinforcements _pale_

    Eeeew a breeding spud, yuk.

    I feel the need for a horrendously bad for you breakfast. Pancakes but we only have duck eggs and it would be a waste, and cant do Weezl's as we have no dried fruit in. Fail.

    SS - eek a mutant potatoe army!

    Em - sorry to hear no lie in for you :( and boo at your OH.

    Jillie - get well hugs for K.

    Another crumb filled morning here, T has so far consumed some porridge, a few bits of an organix rusk and a nibble of toast. If no one has tried the organix rusks before then I can recommend them, I had a taste too and there nice :D Whats really nice about them tho is there sealed in packs of two and cos there soft I can cut them into fingers for T to hold. More expensive than regular rusks tho, but am sure there better for her.

    GAH! Caitlyn has found the crisp cupboard and keeps bringing me bags of monster munch! If I put them back she goes and gets them out again!

    Michelle your neighbour sounds a right pain in the ar*e!! I hope the police take you seriously instead of leaving it 3 days!

    SS - always a good idea to delegate those kinds of duties to the man of the house ;)

    Exactly - MOTM pretty much accused Beenie of being the abusive PM-er (which is fair enough if that is what he believes although IMO if she wanted to be abusive, she would do it in public)

    She did. Or doesn't saying "fluck you. freak" count as abusive in here?

    ...

    I started quoting parts of other threads and arguing against certain assumptions/beliefs you all have, but, to be honest, there's no point. There is a group of you who have decided MOTM is a troll and you are not going to be persuaded against this.

    Personally (and no offence to Bruno), I think MOTM is just being male. Occasionally his posts are confusing (Somerset / Devon? How about living close to the border of both?) and sometimes couched in misunderstanding and the wrong language (such as clearing up his daughter's TOTM, perfectly understandable if you had the teenage periods that I had). Nothing that I would consider suspicious, just a man coping in a woman's role.

    But if you want to attack people for inconsistencies in their stories then heaven help me. I know that I personally have posted inconsistencies, in an attempt to get answers to some questions and yet retain some privacy in my personal situation and Andrew's health problems. Feel free to pick holes in my posts too, when you get bored of MOTM.
