    Listen to Triple choc chip, everything she said is spot on. He may have been a nice bloke in the past but now he's trying to manipulate you and even worse he's dragging the kids into it.

    I'm sure Masonn will be along with words of advice but I would strongly urge you to ignore this latest request from him and do not even consider letting him have the boys live with him. How many times has he let them down? And how many times have you let them down? Nuff said.

    Sorry Coco, I know that I'm coming across as a bossy busy body but he's messing with your head.

    Well ,it's nearly midday and I'm still in my dressing gown so best get on!!

    Blimey !!! Better start making my life interesting then :)

    Still in your PJs ?! That's what Sunday's are made for B :)
    I feel a lot better already to be honest - no point worrying about stuff that won't happen :D

    It's nice to see a bit of sunshine now - I really am going to have to cut the grass .... Damn !
    It's lunchtime already and I have done nothing productive so far, lazy Sunday's all round I reckon :)

    Phew!! Just had a long chat with ex ref yesterday's conversation. It was just thinking out loud - it's never going to happen or be practical.
    Was sorry if I was upset as that was never intended. Won't mention it again - it was a "in an ideal world , if things were different" kind of thing. I think I let my imagination kick in too much there :)

    So , it's back to stressing about money :) and my car , and my work , and everything else :rotfl:

    Sod it , it's Sunday :D

    Now where did I put my book ......

    Yep, Sunday's are for being lazy and eating like a pig. Have got muffins in the oven and about to make scones. Shame I don't look as good as Nigella!

    Yum to home made muffins :)

    Been quite busy today - beds changed , hoovered, bathroom done & grass has had a trim, roast in the oven so not a bad day after a shaky start !!

    Got to try getting back into doing stuff in the evenings so weekends are not quite so frantic, otherwise I start the week just as tired as I finish it :)

    I also completely agree that sundays are for slobbing :D

    Hi Sista :j
    Sorry about the 2 new tyres ... Flaming cars eh :)

    I have given myself a good talking too :) pointless waste of energy to worry about stuff that's never going to happen. Basically I need to stop letting him get to me & he needs to learn to think before he opens his mouth - that's all there is to it !!

    All cleaned up & sat down ready for the football :D

    Have a list of stuff to get through this week - hopefully the council chap will call me in next couple of days so I can look at my options.
    Kids are staying with their dad next wknd so I can have a cheap one & a bit of me time , which I badly need.... So I am determined to keep on top of everything this week so I can spend next weekend relaxing :)

    Come on Spain !!!!!! :)

    Just think Coco even though your ex is manipulating and messing with your head at least you can rest assured that every time he opens his mouth he gives you another reason to be thankful you're not with him any more.

    There's always an up side :D
    It's not how far you fall - it's how high you bounce back.... :j
