In a fit of pique, I signed up to 3 ... after vodaphone convinced me the problem was my phone and convinced (or is that conned) me into buying an i phone. Before I left with, I asked "if I have any probs - can I bring it back" After 3 days of no reception, I returned it only for the girl in the shop to tell me: a - they would not refund me. b - they could not cancel my contract c- i phones can have reception problems .... wtf?!? So I can get 3G in my car - outside my house, as long as it isn't raining .... so that's when I skype my mother - she is used to not hearing from me very often
Oh sorry Buddy - promise this is my last Moomin post but I really am going to buy myself some moomin crockery, so you have sparked a collection! They were FinnfamilyMoomintroll's when I read them - and wow, I remember the hattifatteners so well but I'd have looked blankly had you asked me an hour ago. I am off to auction all my paper on E-bay to fund my first moomin plate
I loved the moomin books and now I wants me moomin mugs - they are just way too great. I think Little Mi is just fabulous. Love Deviant Art as well, can spend whole days in there just browsing - thanks for the share .... runs off to google moomin mugs .... actually I want little mi on a t shirt ... runs off for t shirt transfer paper (it's next to the teetering pile of patterned paper)
Ok. so not exactly a collection but I have a room full of paper - it became a bit of an obsession at times, I could usually recognise the company that the paper came from from it's design I have stopped now, mainly because I had to - there were children to feed and broadband to fund!
I don't post much here anymore and have had little or no interaction with you but if there was one person I would like to meet someone on here to introduce to their children - it would be you.
And N of course ... but not together, cos some combinations are too powerful
It does get messy - even unintentionally. My dd is 4 and already her dad has hung up the phone on her - she wont tell me what he says, but I know too well and he will not see that his litmus temper has a profound effect on her. She is her father's daughter as well. It is not my fault he did not nurture a good enough relationship with his dd's and I am so envious of all the "exes" of all the guys on here that do their damndest to access and support their children. It must hurt to know you gave up somebody or had a relationship fail due to an ex - I admit, I am afraid of his ex issuing an ultimatum. Because I would want him to choose his children.
That's how it ended up for me but if you asked when I was single I would have said 4/5 months - that said, my children are quite young and would not gasp the whole relationship thing totally. I met his eldest daughter; accidentally, after 2 months and the other two shortly after. I think he was more concerned of his ex wife's reaction as that of his children, and that she would stop visitations. But so far so good.
I quite agree with you. I am a single parent and since I split with my partner I have been basically surviving on one parent family and a really small maintenance. My rent was thankfully very low (his relatives but now they realise we will never reconcile they want me to move out) and I have never claimed rent allowance, medical card or any other social welfare payments - my family has been as helpful as they can be. Circumstances have now changed and I need to move - but I cannot claim rent allowance for a house I don't yet live in, nor can I move to a house and make a claim - as I will be refused rent allowance, as you have to have been able to afford the property initially and be claiming due to a change in circumstance. Meanwhile, a 19 year old girl with a child on single parent allowance "gave up" her house and has been given a fairly new 3 bed in an estate and her boyfriend lives there too and her single uncle, who has not worked in 12 years here has been given a house next door. I would love to be able to go back into education but obviously being able to maintain my family has to come first and right now it is not possible.
Well done to everyone who had suceeded in giving up - however you did it - I never believed Alan Carr's core ideas and wasn't for me and when I went to the hypnotist she told me it wasn't going to work for me. Eventually, I did it cold turkey and with a self hypnosis cd and I've only smoked one cig since 29th March 2004. However; I went out last week and after the pub shut, out came the ashtrays, I had a brandy (always a dangerous thing) and it would have been so easy to have "just one" - the thought was there, and probably always will be. So even if one method doesn't work then try another, and you'll never manage to give up until you really want to.
Somehow when you have toilet training toddlers finding time to change the sheets becomes a damn sight more important than finding time to protest about changing government policy.... and so on that note am off to my (clean) sheets
I was talking about cabinet doors - damn tricky things to repair
Last cup of tea before I retire but seriously I have dated a couple of guys with more than their fair share of emotional stability issues. I think when you're younger you think it's something to conquer or that accepting or ignoring such behaviour is proof of how much you love them or vice versa. Now I just get my share of histrionics from Jeremy Kyle.
If you follow the opinions of popular music mags then you'll cringe at this - but I've always been a fan of CC de ville back in the day. It just became uber cool to slate him ...
I was sure I'd only date guys who were less than a 40 minute drive from me, had never married and probably had no kids. Cue today - 148 miles from his door to mine, has a soon to be ex wife and 3 kids. We can make these "rules" but then the heart and head part company when you meet the right person.
