Thanks for this. I assume Ts is the only bad comp and that I can buy vs W? Thanks

Only compares to T according to MYS so yes, should be fine.

I was hoping to go out to catch up on all the COS/CS freebies that I've not had a chance to get yet but it won't be happening today. Maybe tomorrow........:o

That was one of the ones I was stuck on for ages. Think its just plodding on till you get a board where everything just falls into place. And saving up the boosters from the free spins. Good luck!

Wish I'd asked before, just done it :j:T:j:T:D:D

Sorry tweets Sending good vibes your way, it really was just luck :eek:

I am looking for a bit of advice.
As some of you know my OH and I split because of his alcoholism ( although he is 6 years dry now and we are on good terms). It had an effect on my grown up children and I do worry a bit about my son who drinks quite a lot socially. At the weekend DD went with her fiance and brother to stay the night as the brother was running the marathon and DS lives near Greenwich. I spoke to DS earlier in the evening and he sounded a bit tipsy but when DD arrived he answered the door very wobbly and promptly fell and banged his head and she put him to bed in the recovery position as he was so drunk. She was upset and mortified that once again she had to put one of her family to bed drunk ( she did it with her Dad a few times ). His wife had called her earlier to say he was drunk and on the way home but she stayed at the pub. It appears that his wife doesnt like us staying as my sister and I stayed a few months ago and she was quite rude.

Also DD reminded him it was my birthday on Tuesday but no card came and I finally got a call at 3.00p.m. even though he was home that day. I am very disappointed and upset as I worked hard for my children and we paid for him to go to private school but he doesnt seem to have learn any manners.

So question is would it be ok to send him an email to express my disappointment or do I call him. He also owes me over £800.00 for some things I paid for him but makes no effort to pay me even though he knows I have just taken a large drop in income and he earns over £35000.

By all means chase him for the money, taking into account they may be spending all they earn (living is not cheap as you know) but it could cause problems if you start asking about the drunkedness.

If it helps I am fairly sure my mother would have been classed as an alcoholic, my brothers used to get drunk when they were younger but grew out of it. My son used to get drunk on a regular basis but has not drunk to that extent in a long time now.

Personally I would be more concerned about the state of their marriage, people do get drunk for a reason.

One thing to bear in mind, and I have found this with my son and my daughter. A son is a son till he gets him a wife, a daughter is a daughter for the rest of your life.

Try to take a step back or they may think you are trying to interfere and you may end up losing contact totally. Many times I have had to bite my tongue about my son's fianc!e, I like her but not her attitude or friends, but I try to think of the situation as a whole, and I have two grandchildren I do not want to miss out on.

This is just my opinion, only you can make the decision.

Good morning Elite :hello:

Sunny but cold here today in Suffolk. Huge clouds skudding across a blue sky is my view from the window this morning.

My dh has walked into town to pick up a CC order, many smallish items but none of noteworthy value. I have vouchers to use up and whilst I am unable to drive I may as well use them up for muggle shopping at the moment.

QOC I did not your sad post about your mum and her cat how sorry I am that this has happened. RIP MrsQOC !!!!! Pus sy:A.

I have a busy morning ahead of me today, visits from ds1 a nd ds3 :j ouch, shouldnt have done that :eek:

Pages and pages lay ahead of me, will take all day to catch up :rotfl: well I ain't going anywhere just yet so onward and upward x

I dont think there is a problem with the marriage but I think he drinks to unwind as he is very touchy and wound up. His Dads drinking effected him greatly and although he had a little counselling some years back he did not keep it up. Whereas DD had 6 months of CAT last year ( which was tough for me also as everything was my fault!!) and it did her the world of good and she is much calmer now and although she goes out every couple of months on a bender she does not drink the rest of the time. And I think you are right about your daughter being for the rest of your life as she sent me a really lovely birthday card saying how I was her best friend. Thanks

Not sure I can offer advice exactly Rose but didn't want to read and run.

It's hard to know what to say without knowing how close you are to your son. An email seems a bit impersonal though. Are you on good enough terms to talk to him in person? Or perhaps by phone?
I wouldn't personally make a big deal about the birthday if it was me. Some people place more importance on occasions than others. I'd be happy if everyone forgot my birthday :cool: But that's just me.

We all do our best for our kids. We hope that it will give them the tools to make the most out of life. Ultimately what they chose to do with those tools is down to them. Be blunt about the money (in a non argumentative way) If he's earning enough to pay you back then he should.

As for your worries about the alcohol. Do you think your OH might be the best person to maybe talk to him about it? You will know better than anyone that he won't listen to anyone about it of he doesn't want to but it's something you are aware of and it might help if someone had a chat to him.
