    HBFS - your ex really is acting like a child. Children try to get positive attention (love, affection, praise etc), but if they don't get that, they will be 'naughty', on the basis that negative attention is better than no attention at all. The ONLY way to handle this behaviour without making it worse is to ignore it completely. Don't respond, don't get upset, don't get drawn into an argument, don't beg her not to......

    If she REALLY wanted to send the emails, she would have done it by now.

    Afternoon all,

    Hi everyone!

    On this board just about everyday for ages so thought I'd say hi. At work but not much doing. Sitting planning ways to cut costs and stuff to get done at night!

    Phone contract - in same position, mine (should) be up next month and I'm on £25 tarrif, but want it reduced! With TMobile and get a lot of credit for this which I never seem to use.

    Anyone registered with them online? I cant seem to get registered, said they will post password out several times but never do!

    Hello Ev1 don't know why but I thought i'd said hello earlier!!!

    Anyway sorry to hear about the aqa job Keren I am sure the right job is out there for you!
    HBSF take all she say's with a pinch of salt.. she appear's to be bitter and twisted and as Snaggle's say's children want attention of any kind ignore her she will soon crawl back under her rock! and what would forwarding your email's do does she really think you'd go back to her?? I am a woman and even I don't understand her motive's.. Is she very unstable!

    Cheers guys. Had a little cry :( Guess I'll have to just keep plugging on as I am for now. Asked why and was just told 'there were stronger candidates'.

    Phoned up the school which sent me an application form even though the job there had closed and they said it was just for information and they were actually short listing when I called.

    On another note - just went to the toilet and found a package hanging through the window - Cheers Toto, you're a fabby star!!!!!!!!!!
