Pigpen I would simmer and simmer and simmer and then blow my top at him, but its not good for you or Dot to go that way.
Have you got the evidence that he has been messing around be it on facebook or by text? If so I would be tempted to keep it, then once i had got the windows put in and paid for on HIS credit card, then i would kick the bleep out back to his mums house.
I dont think i could stay quiet about it though as my way of getting back at OH is to hit him where it hurts which is financially so i would be going on a spending spree with his credit card and maxing it and then when he got the bill would be explaining why he had just bought me whatever and making him grovel for upsetting me.
You really dont need to be dealing with any of this so I would say blast it all over facebook and let his family and friends know what a rat he is.0 -
I've been reading another fb chatlog.. he has taken to locking the lappy whenever he moves so i knew there was something amiss.. nothing physical can go on.. she lives in another country.. he would be out already otherwise.. God, I know how to pick them!
He has enough debt without me adding to it. I'm the one trying to get him to sort it.
Thing is.. the car is mine.... so I need to pass my test..

So do I let him know first? Or do I let her know first? Or do I just slap it all over facebook so everyone, including his mother and sister know he is being inappropriate with a female 'friend' while I deal with the pregnancy and the baby???
I would suggest you are much too dignified and intelligent to do anything than gather evidence on faceache.
I like seafarers first idea about getting the windows paid and then sending him to mummy's.
If he kicks off, offer to pay him back at 25p a week or something.
Is that really it?Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0 -

My bedroom bin has been cleaned (I do NOT know what was dribbled down the side, nor do I want to, but it's gone with a baby wipe...) which wasn't even on one of my lists. Ho hum. Got to do the binbag dance before putting the bin out tonightthen I'll get the bin cleaned...

My gut?? Eat lots lol...
I'll manage because I am amazing.. and worth so much more than this $h!t.. I'll probably have a spell of falling to pieces.. which for me usually lasts 2-3 days.. I can do that.gratefulforhelp wrote: »I would suggest you are much too dignified and intelligent to do anything than gather evidence on faceache.

No I am actually about 3 underneath my cool calm restrained adult exterior... spitting in his gravy and putting socks in his coffee is not beneath me.
I am going to wait until we go to his mothers.. and she says to me.. 'how are you'.. and I'll reply 'Well, I'd be so much better if OH wasn't having inappropriate conversations with a certain female until all hours online, or sending her presents or saying he wishes she was here or he was there and other such crap.'
And watch the pennies start to drop and the bombs follow soon after...LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
Thanks everyone, CV now done but not much on it.
Hubby did manage before to get in with this company so i have my fingers crossed he'll swing it again. Greenbee if you could look at it i would be very grateful.
Now i need to get all kiddies to bed and try and do something productive...:oSometimes 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.:j :j0 -

Yes you are.
Ajmoney - hugs
frittered - congrats
Busy day at work. Have done the dailies, and I started to do the 60 in 60 but got sidetracked. I had got up to 20. I will try and carry on later. Same old here - too much carp so i can't actually get to the do the cleaning. All I do is move carp around.
Just decluttered chippy tea, cos DH went to the pub after work with a colleague (mate) who needed to offload. Wasn't sure how long it would take so asked him to bring chippy in. Yum.
hex - i used to have an ironing lady. She's actually a friend who has her own business but she used to do me 10% off. When I dropped to working 4 days a week, I ditched her cos I couldn't afford her. Shame......
Later ladies :-)

Personally, I would vote for maximum embarrassment factor.
But I don't practice what I preach.
He has texted repeatedly and tried phoning, wanting to come round today or Saturday to talk face to face. Have ignored the phone and the text messages. I have nothing to say - I certainly don't want to have to deal with him right now.
Minion claims to be doing her room again. I am reserving judgement, but she is now convinced that I mean it when I say she can have a sleepover next weekend, so this might actually happen.
Did DW X 1
WM X 1
CBA to do anything else - especially as I practiced more than usual, and whilst I am becoming a much better player, my fingertips are a bit sore now. They are leathering up OK, but I just overdid it a bit today. Suppose that's what you get when you do Zeppelin songs (Kashmir and Immigrant Song, btw :cool:) ideal for feeling a bit stroppy as well.
Decluttered my first mini crop of French beans straight into my mouth from the plants. Judging by the number of flowers, I might even get enough to actually get around to cooking some of them one day. No idea what I'm going to do if anything starts cropping anymore prolifically - I only have a tiny tabletop size freezer, which is usually full up with petitpois, tuna steak and ice cubes, anyway.
I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0
