Hi Sandra and thanks for dropping by.

I popped over and subscribed to the Parents and Children thread, where I noticed your posting and had intended to post myself, but haven't got round to it yet.

Then I bumped into you again in the Dreams thread too so it is a lovely surprise to find that you've posted here.

h2g2 is a great place and I've made loads of friends from all over the world here.

Unfortunately I've never made it to any of the h2g2 meets (there was one in London recently) but hope to scrape enough funds and time together to make it one day.

Do I remember from a posting somewhere or other that you live in the UK with your young son? How are the Easter holidays finding you?

My two (Mair, aged 14 and Chris, aged 12 seem to bicker a lot and Mair winds Chris, who has autism up quite a lot!). I'm hoping to take them to the cinema next week, so hopefully the bickering will stop for at least one day!

I hope that you've managed to catch up on some sleep!

sandra

I'm sorry that you're being given a rough ride by both boyfriend and son Sandra and never apologise to me for having the odd moan or rant (what are friends for?).

Not knowing your boyfriend I'm in no position to pass comment/judgement. Did he do all this dumping and proposing over the 'phone or in person? It sounds to me as though he should cut back on his as well as making phone calls when he drunk.

Even if he does dump you then that's his loss and he obviously didn't deserve your affections. Besides, someone else much better will be bound to turn up sooner or later!

Men hey? Tsk!

One of my girlfriends used to have a wonderful motto that never used to fail: "Treat 'em mean and keep 'em keen!" It might be difficult for you as you say you love him, but perhaps you could make yourself less available to your boyfriend and be "just going out" when he phones, etc... Just a suggestion...

My eldest brother lives in Cranleigh, Surrey with his wife and two sons so I used to visit Surrey quiet regularly.

I grew up in Middlesex but for many years I lived next door to Surrey in sunny Hampshire and worked in Winchester.

We're currently living in County Durham, about ten miles from Durham City.

Your comment relating to has reminded me that I'm supposed to hide everyone's Easter eggs as my son loves to play a "hot and cold" game in order to find his egg, so I had best go a-hiding!

Chin up me old fruit and I hope you feel better for that walk. You never know, maybe some gallant and handsome chap will sweep you off your feet whilst your out walking! (Well one does live in hopes, hey?)

TTFN

hi again..lol bit late for the treat em mean n keep em keen aproach aint it..lol
n u say if he dumps me..thats wot hesdone dumped me..unless he sobers up n changes his mind...or is sorry n didnt mean it..really hoping he does call..but looks like it really is over ..x
not going walking..hate walking n am very unfit..lol just gonna go round to my mums for a while x..n it was all over the phone as we live 400 miles apart!(he was gonna move in with me soon though..in next couple of weeks) ..god i hope he takes it back n it isnt really over...

It sounds as though he's worried about commitment to a more permanent relationship, although he should BE committed (to a mental institution) for being such an inconsiderate idiot!)

Walking is one of the gentlest and most appropriate forms of exercise if you are unfit, so why not slip into something really comfortable and try it anyway? I love walking, especially with my three s.

I wish that my Mum lived just down the road and I could pop round for a visit. My parents live near Bournemouth and I haven't seen them for almost three years now. Sadly my Dad isn't very well, so I couldn't take the kids with me even if I could afford to visit them.

Enough of me! I hope you had a nice time at your Mum's and that she managed to cheer you up a bit.

morning..well the inconsiderate idiot (hes lovely when hes not had a lol)phoned yesterday..very apologetic..was the drink..would i still have him etc
course i still wil coss i say s wmnderful 90 % of the time!..just can be a bit of an arse when hes but then when wot man cant..lol i dont really drink now..but in my pre kids days i was awful after a bevvie..got in some right states..lol

talking of exercise im gonna need some after all the i consumed yesterday..!feel bit sick ..lol so its a good job i borrowed my mums exercise bike..lol
sos was so miserable yesterday n ending ur ear..im never like that as a rule..

sandra

I'm glad you're feeling better and that your boyfriend apologised.

You really should try to make the most of having your Mother so nearby. I've never been close to my parents for a number of reasons (we are poles apart politically/they're religious and I'm an atheist/they think my vegan diet is "weird") but now they're in their late seventies and my Dad is ill, I regret not having made the effort to be closer to them.

On a lighter note, I seldom have or Easter eggs as I'm a vegan and dairy free, vegan choc is either hard to find or very expensive (although there are some lovely Fair Trade organic chocolate bars available!).

I buy After Eight Easter eggs for my daughter as I don't want her to go without, but I resent buying any Nestlé products because they don't have a very good Fair Trade reputation.

Mind you, if I did have in my fridge, I'd only pig out on it and it would add itself straight to my backside!
