MIXED FEELINGS AND KITCHEN SINK...

with thanx to missie for this lovely graphic...

Hello everyone...Thank-you for your kind comments, it is much appreciated. I hope your all keeping well

"A" phoned yesterday morning, he sounded depressed and wanted to speak to "?" when "?" came off the phone he sat with his head in his hands for a while then turned to me and said, I've got to get a DNA test done. Do you know what, he can't be mine he said ( that don't say much for me aye..lol  Oh dear! ) i burst into fits of laughter and said, i think i need to get one too! God knows what "A" had said to him, it must have been something stupid or outrageous knowing him. "L" and the kids went to visit "A" last Friday. Today i wrote him a letter, i've still got mixed feelings about him and the way he conducts his life, but he is his own man and he has to take the consequences for his own actions. I don't like what he stands for and i really do worry about him deep down...mixed feelings! What mother would'nt care? but saying that, i must'nt show weakness or he will walk all over me...I do care!

The council came yesterday to put in my new kitchen sink. It was supposed to be done last month, but the council had cancelled it and i had to complain and it was put back on order. Well, it was fixed in and what a shambles it is too! All the back of it has been smashed instead of sawn so as to fit around the waste pipe and the sink-top don't sit on the base and theres leaks around the pipe joints. And this took them 4 hours to do.  No wonder this country's in a state with workmen like that and they get paid for that too! And they're supposed to have city and guilds to work for the council "?" managed to stop the leaks and today he filled in the gaps the men had left at the side of my sink and the hole in the wall where the outlet goes as you could see daylight through it. "?" will be fixing the other leak tomorrow as he needs to get a flang. Someone will be round to tile around the sink, i'm wonder whether to let them do that or not, because last time the council done that they made a mess there too and "?" had to get more tiles to put it right.

"?" and i have been keeping busy occupying ourselves. I've been a bit stressed, but i'm coping better now. "?" gets stressed out a lot more than i do and finds it hard to cope at times and he can't sit down for one minute esspecially with whats going on with "A" at the moment.

"Z" phoned on Monday. She was all chuffed with herself because she had been picked to sing in the school chior, we chatted for a while before "SH" came on the phone and we had a lengthy chat. She said her and "Z" are going to "ASH" over the Easter Holidays at Maldon in Essex. I hope the weather is ok for them so they can spend some time at the beach which is'nt too far from where "ASH" lives.

Well, i hav'nt got anymore to say, so i will leave it here and hope the rest of the week is good for you and your all in good health and best wishes to you all...

I'm sorry you're having family issues, Astra. And I sympathise on the council workmen (what a bunch of cowboys they were). Have a good weekend.
