All the best to Mr T, you're lucky to have such good neighbours to

My neighbour of 28 years (77 year old lady) died in hospital last night, two weeks after being admitted with COVID.

She had finished her cancer treatment and had been given the all-clear six months ago, and had just started going out to the shops after the New Year (up till then, I dropped off her weekly shopping).

She had been a great neighbour, very friendly, really spoiled our children - she will be missed.

Yet more twists, turns and dodges from ‘her’ purely to make things difficult for me to see my son. Again as the Law courts are involved I’m not able to go in to detail “yet” but as soon as I can I’m going to give it both barrels on here about what’s been going on over the past 6/7 years. Not to get sympathy or “woe is me” as we’ve all got our own brown-stuff we have to deal with but given the about of lies, misrepresentation and complete BS that’s been spun about me I have to go public with the truth for the sake of my own sanity.

I have 2 daughters 1 whose mother I was married to I had excellent access in fact I had most weekends with her from the age of 2. My second daughter me and her mother was not married so no automatic rights and I had no access to her at all throughout her life except through the odd email. Last year though at 16 years old she approached me via email and told me she wanted to get to know me and eventually meet. We have not met yet as she lives a good distance away and I have been pretty much isolated throughout the pandemic but hope to finally meet her in the flesh soon.

I hope you do not have to wait so long but rest assured even if you do your son will want to know you eventually and her behaviour he could well end up resenting

I have a family member whose wife had an affair while their daughter was 4 months old, she wanted to be a swinger, he didn't.

She had custody, and as the daughter grew up, the mum told her that her dad had the affair.

A few years back the daughter (23) told him that she wants nothing to do with him, she also refers to her stepdad as dad.

When all this started he said he would never marry again, but he met and married and then had two kids, one is now 17, the 17-year-old had said that his half sister can do one and wants nothing to do with her.

[Hom3r]

I'm gutted.

On Thursday morning, an agency called about a job, no interview needed and I said I can start Monday, a few hours later the sent me forms to fill.

Then they asked if I could start on Friday (18th), of course I said yes.

So I called my sister to go up to my town with me to get some needed shoes.

Later on Thursday, I was told it had been put on hold.


They told me on Friday that the job had gone to someone internally, so I'm lucky I hadn't signed off.

Never do that until you have actually started.

Sorry to hear about the job being gone.

The wind has blown off the PVC cladding we had fitted only last May to the gable end of our house, it's lying in bits all over the place.
