July 30 This day was inevitable........As you may or may not know, Dan and Soph are from my first marriage, and we haven't seen or heard from my Ex in about 14 years.
He was not a very nice person, he was always in trouble with the police, in and out of prison, taking drugs, etc, and the kids and I did a moonlight flit to get away from him all those years ago, with the help of my family, and we made a new life for ourselves.
But Dan has always said, that one day, he would like to track his Dad down.
I tried to discourage this, as I knew it would have had a negative effect on Dan, especially when he was going through his own teenage trials and tribulations.
Anyway, as you all know, my son is now a very confident, level-headed young man, with great ambitions in his new life with the Army, and he has grown up a lot.
Dan text me earlier to say that he had received a message on Facebook from a woman that recognised his name, and she asked if he had a sister called Sophie!!!
It turns out that this woman is the Ex girlfriend of my Ex, and she has a daughter to him! They are no longer together, and her daughter wants nothing to do with him, as he hasn't changed his ways.
He is currently in prison for armed robbery!!!!!!!!!
I would really, really rather that Dan didn't get in touch with him, but I have to respect his wishes and support him.
Dan has spoken to this woman, and she has told him that his Dad has never forgot about him, and that on Dan's 18th birthday, he said he would have loved to have been able to have a drink with him.
He has also said how much he misses Soph and Dan, but Soph wants nothing at all to do with him. She dosen't know him at all, she was a very small child the last time she saw him, so he means nothing to her.
But Dan is determined to speak to him, and have contact.
I have stressed that he shouldn't get too involved, especially with the nature of the jail sentence, and that he should take things slowly.
I have dreaded this day for so long, but, hopefully, with Dan's determination to succeed in the Army, this will keep him focussed on his future, and not get sucked in by this man and his lifestyle.
July 25 Gutted........I have been invited to a hen night, on 8th August, in Leeds.
It has a Burlesque theme, and will be soooooo much fun, but I can't go!!!!!
 Two reasons:
1) It is right in the middle of my two weeks off work, and I will have Leah home, so we can spend some proper time together during the summer holidays.
2) I don't have any money!!!
I am so gutted that I can't go!!!!!!!!
Soph and her mate are going, so I have told her to have extra drinks and extra fun for me....................  July 04 A joke, for a change..........A woman goes into a pet shop to buy a parrot.
The parrots are £200, £100 and £15.......
She ask's why the last one is so cheap.
 "Because he used to live in a brothel", says the shopkeeper.
The woman dosen't mind this, and buys the parrot for £15.
When she gets home, the parrot says, "F**k me, a new brothel!".
The woman finds this quite funny.
 When her two daughter's come in, the parrot says, "F**k me, two new prozzie's!".
They find this hilarious.
 When the woman's husband comes home, the parrot says, "F**k me, Pete, haven't seen you for ages!!".  July 02 Sophie's first drive out..................As you know, Soph passed her driving test on Monday.
Well, she has sorted the insurance and just got the tax today for my old Corsa.
When I got in from work, she had left me a note to ask me to pick her up from work in the Corsa so that she could drive home.
Ok, I felt a bit nervous about this, but she has to get used to it sometime, and its only a 5 minute drive................
As it has got a bit of a dodgy clutch, I had to keep reminding her to push the clutch right down, and she managed pretty well, considering she has only ever driven her instructer's car.
I only crapped myself once, when she decided at the last minute to make a right turn, just as a car was coming towards us!!!!!!!!
She even managed to pull onto the drive, without taking the mirrors off,
Anyway, I decided to bath my dog tonight, as he was a bit smelly and he was very hot.
After I had bathed him, I needed a bath, 'cos the bloody sweat was pouring off me!!!
I had said to Soph, that until I can get the clutch sorted next week, then she should just drive around the block for now, just to get used to the car and to build up a bit of confidence, so while I was in the bath, she said she was going for a little drive,
 She had been gone about 20 minutes and I was beginning to get a bit worried, but then I heard her come in.
"I'm not going to lie to you, Mum, but I think I have bumped your car"......
WTF?????
As she was reversing off the drive, she was that busy looking to her left, for little sprogs that were running around the street, she didn't bother looking over her right shoulder, to check how far away MY car was, before bumping straight into it!!!!
It was over the other side of the bloody road!!
You could have got a frigging bus through!!!!!!!
Ok, maybe a bit of an exaggeration, it IS a very narrow cul-de-sac.....but STILL, my car has a huge dent in the front wing, now!!!!!!!!!!
Suppose, on the bright side, she didn't right it off, or squash one of the little sprogs!!!!
God help us, now that she is mobile!!!!!!! |
