    Hi guys:hello:
    Ok haven't read the thread yet but am really upset and need to vent:mad::mad:Have got Boo 2 quite big pressies for her bday at the end of March, and have told DD what they are, and she seemed ok with it.Today she texted me very early on asking me if i was still getting her a trampoline for her bday, I said "no cos i've got the other stuff", and the trampoline had never even been mentioned before to me.She replied that that was "f*** all", and not to bother, seeing as I got her(DD) "complete tat" for Xmas, and that me and her (DD) shouldn't bother buying for each other any more :o:oI am on benefits due to ill health at the mo, and did buy DD lots of Soap and Glory stuff as she asked for as well as jewelllery and a scarf.:o
    I haven't replied to the text as am still in shock, but she is so unreasonable and hormonal and demanding as most of you already know :(
    When she was preg with Boo I was working and bought the pram cot etc, but this time I am financially screwed but will help her out as best as I can:(:(
    HELP!!!!!!!:(:(:(


    Sorry but id tell her to go and stuff herself:mad:

    MrsMH (((hugs))) to you. I have no idea what to suggest, though telling your DH may give you strength. Hopefully your Dr does know and he is trying to help. DG

    She is going to one of them places were you put your feet into a fish tank and you let the fish nibble your feet.
    Now i dont mind what my wife spends money on but we do have our own fish tank and fish so it dose seem a bit silly paying to put your feet in someone elses tank????? I will never understand women:eek:

    you make me howl with laughter :rotfl::rotfl:

    Candygirl - Donny Gal is spot on , she will keep on taking advantage until you stop her in her tracks xx

    MrsMH I am so sorry you feel like that , I cant offer any advice , have you spoken to your gp? xx

    3rd raki is assembled---one day i will learn the secret of measuring the raki and the mixer(water) correctly--sometimes it knocks my head off and others it is like wishy washy water.--i am not turkish which i say with pride but i do like their women and national drink!-life is odd here for me because i only have 3 other people to speak to--my wife my daughter and our business partner--no one else speaks English.--i watch lots of tv which is from America and only have eastenders from the uk(bbc have a channel but it is constant holby city and about 4 to 9 years old!)-- watch too much premier league which is provided by prem league uk tv but my wife likes the fact that i am content wollowing in football so she can take our daughter out on trips shopping! its a win win!

    Meanmarie How awful for that poor woman's family.
    I've been watching the air crash news too as the house elf and I will be landing at Corcaigh in August for our jolly holidays. It brings it home when it happens at an airport where you're a regular visitor.

    I have PCOS. I had 2 m/c before the house elf (both early). I was given cyclogest suppositories to use the next time we tried as no good reason could be found. They're what woman having IVF are given to use. They worked.

    Candygirl Your daughter needs a slap. I would hand over several body parts to have a mum like you who would help me out. Me and the house elf don't have any family near by, although I may yet post the elf to JackieO as Jackie seems to enjoy early mornings. I don't mind them as such, but would like a morning off now and then.

    Halight The fish tank comment made me laugh. I needed that laugh, so thank you!

    MrsMH I'm not convinced that counselling would help...sometimes exploring the reason why you started to do something does not help you to stop. You need help stopping and help with an eating disorder which is a whole different ball game. http://www.supportline.org.uk/problems/bulimia.php Have a read of this web page and see if there is anything useful. There will be time to figure out what has caused it once you have stopped putting yourself in danger. Big hugs to you and anyone else that needs them

    Take care all of you

    Sorry your having so much money worrys latley:(

    I think that you are right to invoice weekley from now on.
    Have you chased the payment that is due?? Might be worth it.
    Could your OH be payed some money out of Petty cash to tide you over untill the invoice is paid in full?

    I think that you and your OH really need to sit down and work out a buget that includes putting some maony aside for when this sort of things happen.

    i know its hard at the moment but it will get bettre!!!!!
    Iv been there is the past so i know that its not a nice place to be!


    all the best bramble:):A:)

    yep, chased daily (doesn't help it's his uncle :o ) The office is a 1hr45 drive away so couldn't justify going there really.

    We've budgeted, but with me starting my new job i didn't get paid a full months wages, otherwise we'd be fine!! But we have opened an 'emergency' bank account where we will put money away starting end of the this month for times like this, it sucks that i've had to temp for a month and then start my new job so i wasn't earning as much as normal.

    Just had dinner, made the kebabs too spicy so didn't eat much!

    OH is going to get on to the phone again in a minute and try and get this payment sorted.
    Good job i'm laid back or i would be having a breakdown right now!
