Good Morning all

At times parenting can be extra hard! From your posts sounds like you've had such horrible times with your ex. Though you dad made such stupid decisions do you think he made those decisions as he thought at the time he was acting in the best way for your child. I can understand that you don't want anything to do with your dad, however, when your children are older will they regret having contact cut off from their grandfather and possible resent you for it? Maybe you could speak to your children tell them the facts and ask for their opinions and let them make an informed decision whether they have any contact with him, and if they choose to have contact whether it be in person, or by letter/phone just be there for them as you always are!

Also as your dad has been dismissive to your sister, maybe that is his way of coping and he is afraid to say his true feelings. I guess he must still think about your children if he sends birthday/Christmas cards.

Your children are very lucky to have a mum as loving and caring as you and you will as you always have done do the right thing for your family.

Nah, my dad was just a wimp where ex was concerned!!

Anyway, we have our health and are a happy family now so we are thankful we all pulled through.

I have no doubt that my hubbie gave me the strength to carry on. He is a true selfless human being. He has never once argued about all that money going to waste because of a child that wasnt his, nor the affect it had on himself and his children. I found my diamond! There is one for all of us somewhere.

Right, got my christmas grotto to put finishing touches on before i surprise the hell out of the kids at the weekend. Their playroom is going to be like a winter wonderland. Ummm. Could charge locals to see santa if I could only convince DS1 to dress up:rotfl:

Nanny - can I ask where you got the Tesco invite from ? I've been keeping an eye out for more of their 'evenings' but didn't know about any before Christmas.

If you go to the store locator on the website and find your store, I found if you hover over the 'report incorrect details' for the store (just below the store details and opening times on the map page) the link has the store number code on the end

My local store still isn't doing an event

Thank you.....but didn't work for me. Been hovering over everything in the hope...:rotfl:

Think I'll give up on the amazon voucher
Don't think my card will be billed multiple times as it doesn't seem to have set an account up for me (I tried to log in and it says doesn't exist)
Might quit while I'm ahead

I know I'm not on here much but very sad to hear about Mad, fly high as a womble in the sky!

So lovely having a thread in his name, R.I.P xxxx

A very unproductive morning so far

Quick elite spring clean coming up :rotfl:

Re. amazon voucher I had to try multiple times before it went through. Kept saying page expired, then eventually it set up an account and it was easier as I didn't have to keep putting my address in. DH gave up though (he doesn't have the patience!!!):rotfl:

Try googling Tesco store plus the town you are looking for. Once you've got the right store you will have the addy and phone number - give them a call and ask them for the number.

If your selected store isn't doing an 'evening' it will come up as number not recognised when you type it in.
