    So was i the first time! It just took a little bit of getting used to. I found tracing the pattern on it worked as well. Made it so much easier. I drew the dandelion on it first and then tried to copy the lines. 

    I made a cup in pottery once. Everyone complimented me on what my daughter had made when she was younger. 😂

    This one has to be my favourite. I was supposed to make a couple, but the shop only sent me half the wire I was expecting and I didn't realise until I was there. 



    The nugget was left over silver that I melted down. It should have been the easiest project but it actually took me longer to do this!

    Dearest @Willowtree222 just read through this diary from the start.  If ex is reading, I hope he's blushing at his behaviour.  Is it rude to say that he's coming across as a complete Juggins,  with flash suits and Rolexes but can't pay a proper amount for DD, or stick to a commitment? His attitude will dig him into a hole he can't get out though no doubt he'll try when it's way too late.  Please PM me with your new user name if you ever decide to use one. You are doing brilliantly love Humdinger xx

    Bless you, thank you.

    No amount of anything I said changed his behaviour. He can't see that him cancelling upsets DD and he thinks he contributes enough. He isn't bothered that she doesn't stay at his, and has made no attempt to fix this or make this happen. He is the most selfish person I have ever met. His view of not turning up on a Friday is to not promise to do it and if he turns up is a bonus. Imagine if I decided not to be home and if I turn up it's a bonus for her. He honestly believes he is a good dad,is getting it right, pays enough, and it's ok to just cancel last minute because he is doing something else. 

    He doesn't care how it impacts DD or whether or not I have plans as the expectation is that I will just be able to cancel what I'm doing. He was doing another day to make up a weekend he couldn't do and then asked me 'why he was covering' DD isn't a shift. You're not covering, you are spending time with your daughter.

    I wish to have no further contact with him other than the basics of arranging things for DD. No amount of anything I have said in the last few years has made him see his behaviour isn't a parent. I'm done raising my blood pressure for him. 

    It just means I can't be open on here and that's not good when i am trying to be money saving and sorting. 

    Take care x
