We have a post for things that make us smile, so I thought, how about one for those things that made us unhappy - so heres one to start...   ... texts getting mis-interpreted and even when they realise they have made a mistake, not apologising for it - why?                                                                                                                                                                             

'Cos they feel foolish hun and not saying sorry means they don't have to admit they've made a mistake!                                                                                                                                                                             

Thanks for that Diane x                                                                                                                                                                             

  When I thought I'd lost ALL the photos from my camera of yesterdays gathering, then somehow they reappeared so I guess I should pop across to the 'what made you smile' topic next lol                                                                                                                                                                              

Well it wasn't actually today it was Saturday to think that someone thought I was an unfriendly person and wants to mess with my head.                                                                                                                                                                             

Nutkin thats the down side of txt, or even the cyber world so many of us live in sadly, there is no accent, no feelings or emotions in type, it's sad really how the art of actual real conversation be either in person or the phone or even letter writing has seemed to die out since the internet became such a big part of so many peoples lives.   I hope your next post will be on the what made you smile thread saying all is resolved                                                                                                                                                                             

what has caused me to be sad? Well, its the CSA. How can these people make an assesment where I have to pay over £1700, in arrears and then £30 per week regularly there after, when they have no idea what the 50percent custody of my son costs me in real life. I pay for all his clothes, regular holidays to spain for 2 weeks at a time, school uniforms, dinner money, bus fares,  weekend cost and entertainment, food, washing, computers, xbox 360's,etc. In short, my son wants for nothing during the 3 to 4 nights a week I have him,but im still being assessed for more when my income has gone down. I feel like im being bled dry! leave us good Dad's alone ya set of useless set of moronic idiots.                                                                                                                                                                             

That's so cr*p Bullet! I hate the CSA & wouldn't use them when I left my x hub. We sorted it between us. I think when Dad's are doing their bit they should be left to it & it should be taken into account the expense of regular visitation expense. keep ur chin up m8!                                                                                                                                                                             

finding out i couldnt get into the solictors to swear on the bible for my divorce got to wait another week i just want it all over now                                                                                                                                                                             

Thank you Tigz, I'll be fine. Ive maintained a stable enviroment for my son now for nearly 7 years, always done my best and never let him down, often putting my life on hold in the process.   Its a pity that everytime my 'gold digger' of an ex gets herself into money problems I suffer the brunt. Its a horrible situation to be in for me and really gets me down. I just dont think its right this goverment body is still here cos they really have messed up alot of good parents lives.                                                                                                                                                                               

my car goin to the garage.....now waitin to see whats up with it and how much its goin to cost to put right                                                                                                                                                                               

Wish my kids had a dad like Bullet, spoke to Sean before about this and he is genuinely one of the good guys - would love to say the same for my ex, but he's not paid a penny since deserting us last November 16th :-(                                                                                                                                                                             

Soz to hear that bullet, thought the CSA were supposed to chase those PARENTS who won't and don't take their responsibilties on. Shows what I know!   You keep on being the brilliant Dad you are and it won't be too long before your lad sees his Mum for the person she really is mate!                                                                                                                                                                             

 thank you and much appreciated comments, cheers me up, thanks                                                                                                                                                                             

upsets me , being "tarred" with same brush as some of the a*soles out there when trying to be honest and genuine,, and not after the usual thing all men seem to want,when you want to meet people and make some new friends not just be after one thing. some of us are nice guy's          monkey                                                                                                                                                                                        

Sad tonight -  seeing our Sophie crying her eyes out yet again this year, I took Scrat, our hamster, to the vets, he's got a tumour and is to be operated on tomorrow morning - he's family so deserves every chance
