Pinot's Potty debt free journey!!!

I totally understand where you're coming from on the wanting to refuse work so that you can actually see Mr Pinot and I get why you want him to work to pay the debt off faster.
One night in four weeks, is not quite right though and I think you're going to have to find a more realistic balance. Your time as a family is more valuable than time spent on debt busting. The time you spend now is the foundation of your future. Families and relationships are built on memories, love and time together, relationships that thrive through time apart are usually in films or books.
Sorry to sound so harsh, but I think the world of you and I personally believe you need to think this out as a priority. You have full permission to tell me to bog off....

I could never tell you to bog off, you are so lovely after all !!! I do agree with everything you said, infact I think my first ever post was somethign along the lines of that we cant keep on doing this and never seeingeach other or the children their daddy. Things have improved though since January , its just so tough turning work down, not knowing where the next phone call is coming from ! But I have decided not to chase the work for the odd few days left, if the phone rings we will take it but I wont chase anything up.
He made it home about 1am, with a M&S Choccy pudding as a treat !! He kissed the girls and DD2 woke up thrilled to see him, unfortunately he had gone before she woke this morning. He is workign over at Hmapton Court today so we are keeping our fingers crossed he may be home for some time with us this evneing .:DLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Hope she feels better soon. Oh I remember those days at the school gates well, how I hated them. It's different taking DGD to school cos don't have to fit in with the whole scenario
I've been watching Smash too, I think its great but then again like you I love a bit of singing and dancing too
I'm a bit like that too at the moment, seems like I've only just got over that horrid virus, only to end up with this problem with my jaw. Definitely feeling very Granny like at the moment
Here's some wine to keep us going tonight, although tonight might turn into this afternoon for me if pain continues
BFN Gx2 x
Thankyou for the wine granny, it was very enjoyable combined with the drugs !! I didnt sleep well unfortunately due to the silly pain, but I am sure the wine still helped a tad ! Sorry you are still feelign so rough. Its not good.
We loved Smash, cant wait to watch the next episode, but then we were glued to Glee and High School Musical. I even managed to cry at that much to the girls disgust !! I had booked to take a group of their friends plus a few mums to watch the third one when it came out, and was the only mum who cried when Zac Efron took the Prom to Vanessa Hudgens as she couldnt make the real one !! It was all so romantic !! :rotfl:
Schools.......yuk hate it, every mnute of it and the stupidity but I wont get started on that today, I am keeping my head down and smiling sweetly. Refusing to get drawn into it all.LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Morning Pinot !! Thought I had best pop in and introduce myself
My name is Coco and I am a DFW !
My kids are noisy, messy boys x 2 , my Ex is a "Twit" (substitute letters as you see fit there) and I am a hairs breadth away from my house being returned to the mortgage company with no money.
But, people like you keep me smiling - your progress is staggering as is the way you keep your sense of humour throughout. I admire you greatly
I will trot off back to DFW now where I belong
Have a great day.
Coco x
Think its about time you showed your face Coco !!!:rotfl:
So hello, welcome and try not to disappear again, we are a lovely bunch over here, usually pretty happy, sometimes sad but we do try and have fun in amongst it all !!!
Thankyou for your kind words, I will do my best to keep you smiling .:D
So lovely to see you, enjoy that scary movie tonight !!! :eek:LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Is anyone else really feeling sorry for the banks just now? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Going to Lidl today or tomorrow.
Have also bought the much raved about 'take away secret' and also '50 shades of grey'. I wonder which one will proove most useful?
HHx
The banks should be afraid......very afraid !!!! :rotfl:
Whats the take away secret, I havent heard of that one, but I do know about 50 shades of grey !!!
Please report back on which you find most useful, I am very interested !!
Actually I have 50 shades of Grey and think I am the only person in the world who cant quite get into it. Most of my friends are flying through the books and are on the 3rd one or have finished and cant wait for the next one . I got about a quarter of the way through and decided I was a bit bored by it, so I am now reading something else, nice easy Chick Lit ,with the plan being to go back to the 50 shades when I have finished and try it again. Maybe I am just weird !!! :rotfl:LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Ok done it !!! It really is a book about Takeaway Secrets !! I think it was some secret code you were both using for another "Mummy !!!!!! " book like 50 Shades !!!!

I read an article last week about it NRA where a jounalist went into a bookshop to see how many copies they had sold as it shifted 265,000 last week alone apparently ! :eek:
The lady in the shop had never heard of the book and had no idea what the journalist was even burbling on about, eventually after looking on her computer it dawned on her and she announced she had sold two copies !! The Journalist said " Two copies this week ?" To be told "No two copies in total since it was published " So.....the general concensus being that people are downloading the book onto their Kindles rather than purchasing the paperback, so that they read it on the train, on their sunbeds etc and noone will have a clue what on earth it is they are reading !!LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:
