No T Words mentioned at all - a fresh start

Sara I am so cross on your behalf. How dare this WOMAN intimidate you. You are Heather's Mum, and Fern and Iris are her sisters, and as such have every right to be there if that is what you want. She clearly has a problem, probably because she can see what a close knit family you are.

You could have been friends because you have something in common, your children, but clearly you wouldn't want to be friends with someone with this attitude. She does sound very possessive, but if she isn't careful it will backfire on her.

You, Simon and the children will have a wonderful time seeing Heather so happy, and knock them dead with your Mother of the Bride outfit:)

Sending you all lots of hugs and love

Hi everyone,

Just had to share this, it's made our day....

DH was driving to work this morning when he was pulled over by the police. Te policeman told him that a school child wanted to read him a notice, at which point a little boy appeared and read a speech thanking DH for driving slowly near their school, and that they were giving out presents to careful drivers. So DH was thanked by the copper and the little boy and given a pen, a screen cleaning cloth and a postcard designed by one of the kids.

The thing is things like that happen quite frequently here. One of DH's colleagues was stopped by the cops and breathalysed. For registering no breath alcohol she was given a chocolate :-)

FTM - quite right, beam with pride all day :-)

Off to bed soon, enjoy your days everyone

Hey FTM my lovely DD2 has kept her maiden name, not because she doesn't want her dear OHs name but because it's so darned difficult to change it in her profession. I speak to both mine every day, where is the harm in that? it just says we're all friends and like to chat. The name thing is most peculiar, the choice of names is for the parents alone to decide, she's luckier than she knows that they decided to add it in as a second name. She sounds very jealous of your relationship with your DD from where I stand, and that's most probably what her resentment stems from. Silly woman, she'll never come between you and your daughter, neither will she ever be regarded as her 'Mum' no matter how effusive she is with your DD being the daughter she wanted and never had. It will all shake down, don't worry too much and I would totally ignore the issued instructions about the girls dresses and not being at the evening reception, Heather is their sister for heavens sake, why on earth should they not be there for the whole evening??? Just keep the thought in your head that the higher up in her own estimation she places herself the further she has to tumble when her branch inevitably breaks!!!

Dockys nosey lump is less sore and pink this morning,and he is in fine form out with Dadi for a walk along the river, it's very showery here this morning and when thy come they are very heavy so I'll have two drownded ratties come back through the door later on. One of them at least will have towels on the floor to roll on, the Dockling however prefers to be rubbed dry by Mumi power!!!

Collective chins up my friends, the world is there to be tackled, good luck, Lyn xxx.

Cheapskate

Hi everyone

RL has kept me off MSE for a bit, but have been trying to catch up here and on the other threads - FTM, thanks for asking after me. . I'd like to echo what the others have said, re Heather's soon to be MiL, she sounds a real piece of work! Take the littlies, they'll thoroughly enjoy the whole thing, won't get that day back again. . Actually, I feel rather sorry for her, she must be all knotted up inside for whatever reason to behave like this, and potentially risking her relationship with her son and your daughter - well, it's her loss.

Hope you all have a fabulous day tomorrow, post some pics here if possible!

Life here staggers along, some weeks I could fall asleep standing up! My mum's power of attorney is now done, so we can start doing her paperwork for her, let her enjoy simpler things like the garden and the cat.

We're all looking forward to the Easter break, really like the thought of not having to rush out of the house for school, etc! Can't understand how some parents dread hols, I love the slower pace - bring it on. :rotfl:

This weekend is a tad slower, too, so hopefully will have more time to chat to you lovely lot on here!

A xo

FTM I know you won't read this until much later as you'll be so very busy today but have the very best day you can today, don't let the mean and sorry behaviour of one person cast a blight on what should be one of the happiest occasions. I'm sending you all the love and tolerance I can send and I'll be thinking of you all day in the hope that gives you a little bit of back up. Smile and let the tots enjoy the occasion, you can do it pet, you know you can!!! Love Lyn xxx.

Have a wonderful day

Hello all. I lost a long post yesterday and it rather disheartened me for the day. Will try again now.


I seem to have survived the first dose of workmen candlelight - the veranda is finished although they made such a mess laying the new base that I will have to get the walls redecorated later this year. Its supposed to be white - without red and grey smears:eek:


Now I just have to wait for them to install a new door - which I don't want as my current one is less than five years old. The landlords (HA) obviously have money to spend and everyone must have new door - whether they want it or not. :eek:


FTM thanks for asking after me. I'm not doing so bad thanks. Hope you've had a lovely day today and that your DD's MIL has not spoilt it for anyone.


I was lucky with my MIL - I always called her that though she was my first husband's mum - my darling OH's mother sadly passed away long before I met him. But this lady was fantastic - when her son and I divorced she insisted we keep in touch and even developed a brilliant relationship with OH. She died last year and I miss her.:(


Am glad Docky is doing so well MrsLW. I don't often post but do read along and look forward to hearing about him.

It is good to see you AOL.

It is amazing isn't it when you have workmen doing one job and they leave you with another. I hope you can fill the veranda with some potted plants and perhaps even a tomato plant.

FTM I hope you are having a wonderful day and I think the sun will have shone for you, it certainly has here.

Love to everyone

DD has been offered a place on the BA World Performance course at E 15 and I have the make up stains on my jumper where she cried to prove it :T. Had "something in my eye" myself.

It means she is definitely leaving home though . Had kind of thought we had her a bit longer. VJsmum doesn't cope well with change.

She is so happy though, it is hard not to be happy too
