When Friday arrives I have very mixed feelings.I akways look forward to it as we are about to begin the weekend which is very precious to us.We are lucky as Immin even has the afternoon off every week to makeup for all the evenings he has to work,and 12 hour days.SO I LOVE FRIDAY FROM THAT POINT OF VIEW, but i hate fridays because this hard won precious time is spent going 40 mls there and 40 miles back to see his mother.She is the most spiteful ,venemous and un- charitable woman I have ever had the misfortune to meet.She is not grateful for anything either of her two children do for her. She is totally self- absorbed and goes out of her way to be unkind. NOT TO ME She is fine with me.In fancy she has a healthy respect for me as I won't take and C**P from her.She pushed me too far once too often and I don't go to see her anymore.But I am furious at the way she treats her own. Her grandchildren refuse to visit her. NOW THAT SAYS A LOT most g-children adore their grandparents. I've had my moan-Come 4pm It will all be done for another week and we will have the weekend to enjoy Sorry about this-it is not like me at all-Rose

ohhhh Rose sending you ((((((((((BIG HUG))))))))))) hope this make's you feel happy. Enjoy your weekend and don't let her get you down. xx

Hi,Bridget, Yeh,It got it off my chest Are you going to the Norwich meet 19th March? Hope to see you there. -Rose

Rose, that was very good. I bet you feel a lot better now!! Have a wonderful Friday. xxx BC

Thanks all of you - I just hate to see my husband so wound up each week .I don't visit as I said,but I spend the time with my siser in law and help her bake for her shop every Friday.She has this horrible woman every single day and looks forward to letting off steam when I go to see her.It is amazing what she puts up with from her mother every day-and whild she is trying to run a busines too. M-I-L IS BUSILY SPENDING HER WAY THROUGH THE INHERITANCE OF HER SECOND HUSBANDS GRANDCHILDREN He was a lot older than her and she managed to romance a trustee ship out of him before he died. He obviously thought he was leaving his assets to his grandchildren,she had obviously planned otherwise! See what I mean.She is squandering money the old boy intended for his own grandchildren's higher eduaction. His family have tried bUT neither they nor their lawyers can get anything out of her. SHE IS EVIL

Hugs Rose, grit your teeth, it will soon be YOUR time. Love Ann Glos

Rose :-( Luckily for me my m-i-l was absolutely wonderful and she would have loved these boards. She died in 1994 while I was pregnant with my 2nd son and I still miss her so much. BUT I know a little about old bags, as my m-i-l's mother was a bit of one herself. She was 4'9' and had beautiful aquamarine eyes (seriously - I've never seen anyone else with that colour) and before she got old, gold hair. Men swarmed round her like wasps to a jamjar when she was younger. She was always the centre of attention and my m-i-l who was an only child, and not very pretty when younger was always being compared unfavourably to her 'What a shame you don't have lovely hair like your mother' etc. Her mother used to pull fainting fits in public and got in a state if Eddie was ever late home. Her whole life she was made to feel guilty about her mother and we had to visit her on sunday evenings. As if Sunday evenings aren't depressing enough anyway with work the next day! Fortunately my husband was the apple of her eye and he was the only one in the family who could tell her that she was out of line, or being ridiculously vain, or whatever. She was never nasty to me (couldn't get away with it as she didn't have the emotional hold over me and she probably also knew that if I stopped going to see her, so would my husband) but I did resent the way she made my m-i-l feel at times. nell nell
