:eek::eek:
Just spotted this, what the fck does he think he is playing at??
I guess by your post you didn't know. Staying at another female's house with your knowledge is one thing, but words fail me.
And as you pitching up at yours to stay, I know a few choice words if needed!, !!!!!! I am shocked.
One question if he was taking his mother home, where was his mother, while he was stopping over else where? or did he drop her off first and then stayed else where!
i knew he was taking his mother home and he was supposed to be staying there overnight.. he did tell me he hadnt stayed at his mothers when he got back but didnt tell me he had never planned to stay there anyway!
He dropped his mum off at home then went to this womans.. i dont know if he told his mother he was staying there or that he was coming home.. I intend finding that out next time we see her!!!
I did hear his half of a conversation saying he would love to go to hers but doesnt know what would happen with our girls..
I swear his knackers are going to be ear studs very soon lol
Beasts all in bed
Ebeast still being sh-height
Dot still squawking!!
Off to make a cuppa.. and refeed the DW/WM/TD and clear the table and sweep the floor!!
Thank heaven for the sling!
My left wrist is so bad at the moment I almost dropped Squeak! :eek: I need my splints and I cant find them!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 -
Pigpen - I would say you have the patience of a saint but I know that eventually you will be roasting his knackers on the bbq!
I now know i'm officially tired. I was working from the wrong list, an earlier list. I thought it had got longer and it was only when I went to clean the lampshades that I remembered I'd already done it. Grrrrrrrrrrrr! I thought a few of the jobs I was doing didn't seem too bad - yip, that's coz I only did them yesterday! I always lose the plot with lack of sleep and there's been 7 break ins near where I live in the last four weeks so think it's getting to me!! Supposed to be a nice area to - pah!
Anyway, going to declutter a glass of red xx0 -
Hi All :wave:
Well all I have left of my en-suite is a shower tray, toilet and sink and some tiles on the wall :rotfl:
So after work today I have:-
Decluttered £479 for a new ensuite "suite"
Done a wee bit of crafting
Had a bath (shower out of order):(:(
decided what to take to tinsel & turkey party in Blackpool :eek:
used my steam generator/iron thingy, its ab fab, i reckon if I keep doing my 30/45 mins each night then basket will be emptied by Friday:D:D, normally doing a HHI each night doesnt even put a dent in basket so I am well chuffed
Normal flying will resume some time soon :rotfl:
:TGratitude is the best Attitude :T

I'm quite content to have grown men sleeping in their cars or shivering on the doorstep if they can't behave themselves. If they haven't got the money to get themselves home to Mummy, well, they have a long walk ahead of them, as far as I am concerned.
Because I had had ebough of being a punchbag.
Men are such BABIES some of 'em - no balls to face up to their responsibilities.
And SOME women need to realise that if a bloke is treating another woman abominably it might well be her turn next (addressed to woman who is allowing the idiot to 'stay over,' which is I hope, obvious!)
Any way I AM here. I have flashed through the thread. Idiot dealt with appropriately, I see. What kind of 't1t' reads this thread and thinks it's all about cleaning? And we have no life? *shrugs*
Bins empied. Cat litter tray emptied. Now filled with Smart Price litter - Morrisons scorned (should've given DS a job) ASDA VISITED! *LOUD CHEERS!!* WE HAVE AN ASDA IN VALLILAND FINALLY:T:T:T:T:T:D:D:D:D:D:D
It's quite a small one (thanks Netto) but (a) it's a start, and (b) it's at 'my end'.
And they have wine for under £4 a bottle.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Wine's ok - and they have a fridge and sell it chilled and they let me take LOADS of 'free' bubblewrap and A bloke I know from WAY BACK is on the till (so guess whose till I went to;)) He used to work there when it was Netto but I wasn't a frequenter of there, I preferred Lidl.
AND THEY have bayleaves! and I have them, now!
E bay invoices sent. Am attempting to resist temptation to flame NPB - why oh why can we not flame them for not paying then get e bay fees credited (or am I missing something?) theySHOULD have negs! They SHOULD!
