My christmas list is very short

Mine's even shorter - we stopped doing Yule presents at all when Mr LW was out of work, over a decade ago, and have carefully never re-started.

I shall have a guest for Yule, but it's ok, she has 4 legs, a tail, and long floppy ears.:D

Done nowt today other than see to the Noyz Boyz; they're lovely, but very draining energy-wise.

I have a mouth full of ulcers - just took me a full 20 mins to eat a banana.:(

Bossy.. sometimes I wish mine was too!! However.. given that 17 of those people would not be in my life had I not invited them in I can't really complain too much! The majority only have about £5-£10, it isn't such a huge amount of money because I am an amazing bargain hunter it is just the space it takes up between now and the gifting! We are trying to do handmade stuff again this year which I did enjoy last year. This years challenge is also to not spend any money we have not made by selling stuff on or from whatever source we can manage.. mugging old ladies counts but I don't think any of us have resorted to such tactics yet!!


Sorting ebay stuff.. I have decided the stuff which hasn't sold is being bagged up and put on the local facebook page to sell and if it doesn't go then.. well it is already bagged so can go to the chazzer.. or freecycle (I will need a fake address!) .. Question... given most of the stuff there is to go is Next and some is brand new would £10 per (Tesco) carrier be too much? it would probably be less than £1 an item!!

I need to sort the maintenance again.. CF has decided he doesn't have to pay anything towards the upkeep of his children.. I need to check Moomins hospital appointment is still tomorrow and CF hasn't changed that like he keeps doing.. he thinks he is being clever! and I need to arrange a service check on the boiler since I cancelled my homecare agreement and redid it £4 a month cheaper!!

I did a utility tariff change too which has dropped my bill by £20 a month!

I need to ring council tax people to ear ache them.. they keep sending demands for DS2 to pay it and he is a dependant he has no income at all! I have told them this 7 times this year!

pigpen

Latest fun and games with CF are beyond insane! .. This is the short version.. it is all very long winded and comprises of lots of lies!

He rang the police saying DS2 had assaulted Tiddles.. utter lies.. I was actually in the room when it was supposed to have happened and know it was not even possible!
He has taken to changing all the girls appointments, changed the addresses to his and FORGED (as far as we can tell) a 'court order' saying I am not allowed to change appointments. My solicitor has requested a copy of this 'court order' He has also given everyone his slappers details and said to contact her.. so they would ALL be in breach of patient confidentiality because she has no parental rights because they are not her children.
He is trying to get DS3 kicked out of college!!!! He stands outside to scare DS3 and DD3 and intimidate them..
Social services are involved at his end.. not with me.. and they are refusing to contact me and are sending me letters filled with lie after lie.. however, one of them may be losing her job after writing a report without speaking to me and it is Piggers states this that and the other and loads of fantasy about my family.. so she has written a bunch of lies too! It's just taking up so much of my time running between their office and court and solicitor and the usual level of appointments!

so...

We are spending a million £'s to get him away from all the children, the police are on speed-dial, we are getting an injunction to keep the pair of them away from the other children hopefully next week.. DS3 has not been out for 3 MONTHS because that C**t is stalking him... he is threatening suicide and his psychologist is VERY concerned... and I am REALLY struggling to pay solicitors fees!

As a result my stress eczema kicked in so I look like a leper.. and I've lost 2 stone because I cannot eat... and now I have manflu!

Anyone fancy 'a day in the life of the psycho-ex'? I'm pretty much beside myself with insanity.. take a day.. I have considered putting up a 'gofundme' page to accept donations to get rid of him.. but not sure if it is legal

dancemum

Piggers I know you don't do hugs. I'm sending solicitor funding vibes to you. I have been through court with ds1' sd (sperm donor) hope your ds3 is ok x

I have been struggling today with fighting a bd that is trying to move in.

TV stand dusted
Bathroom towel rail cleaned. It is only 2 years old and already seems to be going rusty.

bossymoo

Oh pigpen he really is beyond words. I know I'm not supposed to but I do wish something very final would happen to him

Poor DS3 as if he doesn't have enough on his plate how long until the youngest is allowed to say in court they don't want to go?

And hugs anyway. Just because I wuvs ya xxx

ionafan

Pigpen, your Ex is beyond words, so I won't waste time talking about him, but I do wish you every success in bringing him down. I hope someone gives the social workers what my DH calls "strong words of counsel and guidance" too. (((Hugs))) to you all.

Dusty, I am so sorry to hear that your mum's op was cancelled. I hope it is rearranged very soon.

I have had a good day: did a couple of hours' reading this morning, followed by some more admin work, and tidied the back garden this afternoon while WMx2 dried outside in the warm breeze. I have also picked about 20 pears off our little tree and some very nice tomatoes

YORKSHIRELASS

For heavens sake Pigpen cant he just leave you and the kids alone? As if you havent got enough to deal with.

I think the manflu is spreading, I have a sore throat. Had a good review at hospital with DS1 this afternoon though, not much flying done but never mind.

pigpen

Bossy I wish something very final would come about too.. the damage he is doing to these children is beyond comprehension.. I hate saying things like that when I think of all those lovely mummies and daddies who are gone too soon.. but some people are just evil and not fit to walk amongst normal people.. sadly I found one!

His aim is to make me lose the house.. but if I have to sell my body parts we will keep it.. what he doesn't realise is I could defer payment for years and not pay anything because I have invested every spare penny into it over the last 6.5 years..

The part that is worse than the lies, of which he has absolutely no proof or reason whatsoever, is that he is driving away his own children.. I simply cannot understand how or why.. he is missing out on grandbeasts and birthdays and there is so much love going on in here.. it is just tragic, utterly tragic. They are all hurting so much and there is nothing I can do to make it better.

I did google how to kill someone and not get caught.. pmsl.. the first bit of advice was 'do not google how to kill someone' ... hahahaha.... I googled death spells .. hey, I'm desperate... anyway, I'm too disgustingly nice to kill someone and not go straight to the police station and confess... believe me though... with his violent behaviour I will not put it past myself not to kill in self defence!!

You don't need to worry... I am not really going to go out and commit murder... thinking about it is fun though!!
