    Ah booger. Just notice that next doors fence has blown down, 3 panels! I fixed it last time 'cos he's such a tight wad. :mad: I wouldn't mind but our dog wanders over, craps in his garden and I get a rollicking from him. I'm not fixing it this time and if he says anything, I might just have to have a crap in there also. :rotfl:

    Morning, catching up, hope all are well.

    If he catches you at it just tell him that you're following an old Catalonian tradition, the Caganer :)

    No, I reckon scamps got it right first time - she's an ungrateful moo ! She seems to have made her feelings very plain.

    I've always over compensated with my 3 kids 'cos their mother and I split nearly 20 years ago when the youngest was still in nappies. I was given custody and the house but couldn't cope with being out of work so their mother had them back! For years she used that against me so I got my kids all I could afford and this has continued now that they have grown up and each have a kid of their own, even more so now I have grand children! What narks me is that since I've been on here, my eldest DD seems to expect the free food parcels, the other 2 are fine, but I can't help but not give all 3 of them the same. How do I resolve this without upsetting anyone? :(

    As parents we all like to see the best for our children and make their lives easier. But sometimes tough love is the best option. Why not save your stashes and just give at birthdays and Christmases?
