    I think I might sort some ebay stuff out tonight too - seems like a good idea. Have had a hectic day and can't be bothered doing much else. I think we may watch Gremlins again, it's been a couple of weeks since last time...

    DS is learning to txt and it's very amusing watching him!

    aww numpty. Can you arrange once a month that he comes around or you do something together free (museum/park) when children are young they dont want materialistic things they want love/time spent together.

    only 8 (though he'd probably say nearly 9), he's only got mine and his dad's number in the phone and the only reason he's got it is cos I won a posh new one so I thought he could have my old scratched one for a couple of years (ok maybe more) before he's trusted with a new one.
    needless to say it's his dad he's been texting!

    what you planning on making Laura?

    I've been saving DS's old shirts and jeans to make a patchwork throw but not quite got round to it. I thought it would be nice to remember when he was wee and cute when I looked at it.

  • I'm in the house alone, there's nobody here. I don't know which room to go and mess up first. lol. I am never alone in the house at night. Its such a novelty, and what have i decided to do......The ironing. My reward is........Going to bed and reading my new book, well my daughters book, she left it here half finished and she keeps saying how good it is, and she's right it is.:cool:
    My finances are work in progress.
    Normal veiwing will resume shortly

    Probably because him knowing about your financial situation has stripped away some of your "shielding", and the fact he isn't bothered at all about it (unlike yourself) has damaged the rest. Coupled with the fact he prefers your company to his own father's company is a recipe for strong emotions with a poor defence against them.
