    So that is it then! After the last time you told him that one more thing and he would be out.

    Well if having a blazing row and being bullied by him isn't one more thing then I don't know what it. So pack his bags and tell him to sling his hook.

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    He's turned the waterworks on with OH apparently (they're at home, I'm not). I'm not happy guys. My best friend has been texting and emailing me, giving me moral support. SS is saying he wants to move back through where he lived before. Now he has no money (supposedly skint and thats what started the arguement, if he is truly skint he's burnt through £600 since the 23rd of dec and he doesn't have any outgoings as the car payment, digs aren't included in that and he's only been out once), so he thinks its just a matter of going to the council and they'll give him a flat....... free! La la land is the phrase that springs to mind. He's really turning into a nasty piece of work like his sister.

    Uni, I mean this with the best of intentions, if this was your best friend telling you this, what would be your advise to them? Please get yourself away for the weekend and have some me time to think through the situation. Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years? Still battling with SS and OH? Is that where you want to be?
    Hugs

    Its my house Lucielle. I think I'll be asking SS to go somewhere else for the weekend. Its my birthday tomorrow and if he ruins it like his sister has ruined every single nice event for the past x years (hence we don't speak now and she's not welcome in the house).Ive had enough. Had chat with best friend who is similar situation and didn't realise so we've been consoling each other.

    oh heck Uni, i'm with lucille and Chev on this, you did say once more and he's gone and i think this is it. :(
    I'd literally only been thinking as i clicked on your thread that this weeks postings had seemed to be a little more positive compared to all the SS carp that had been going on.
    ((((hugs))))

    Thanks LT, have decided not to let my mood ruin my birthday. Have decided to talk to OH after my birthday (his kids have ruined every christmas, birthday, anniversary, valentine's day and even to a point caused embarassment on our wedding day so would like one without drama), I want SS out (will give him a month to find something)..... if that means OH going so be it. I've had enough.

    Get under the bath, dry it as well as you can, then dust everywhere under it with talc.

    Any moving water then will leave a trail.
    Thanks for the info ZTD, will get DH to try it this weekend!

    Hope you have a lovely birthday Unix...lovely things from your colleagues. Hope OH has spoiled you..and SS has stayed away.

    I'm afraId I'm in agreement with the others...SS should sling his hook...and the sooner the better!!!
