Taking refuge in the library...

Beats a brolly any time.

Bl00dy weather. I'm supposed to be at a wedding today, but just don't ask about that sore subject. I am however at a christening tomorrow, where it definitely will not be rainy or grey cos I've put in a special request with the Big Man.

[ummmm]

I want to know about the wedding now :-)

[Bbbananas]

I know you do, but I aint saying cos I will be mightily tempted to blaspheme, swear and be derogatory and bitchy and I am above that.... ;-)

[ummmm]

No you're not :-) spill.!!

[sara3]

↑ agreed.. let's have it!

[Bbbananas]

I'll be brief: Eldest stepson. The one who I have loved & helped to nurture for the last 25+ years. The one who I welcomed into our home when his mother kicked him out. Who I cried about when he left.
Disinvited cos his mother threw a wobbly & said if he invited me, my son & my daughter, then she wasn't going..... Bitter & vindictive after all these years, her final chance to get one back on me. And she has.

He & his betrothed want me there, but have given in to their mother - as everyone always does. He's 30 today, about time he did what he wanted.

But don't get me wrong umm..... I'm not p1ssed off or anything. Much.

[ummmm]

What a spiteful bitch :-(

[sara3]

agreed.. I feel for the step-son, caught up in that nonsense.

[Bbbananas]

I did think of stalking out the venue, hidden in the bushes with a deerstalker & a wide angle long-range lens. But decided I had more important things to do, such as cut my toenails & wax my armpits for tomorrow.

Never mind, I think things could all kick off tonight once alcohol has taken its toll and the claws come out. Maybe I'm better off out of it. How's you?

[ummmm]

If that was my Mother I would simply say 'fine, don't come then'

[Bbbananas]

Yes. So would my other stepson. And my own son will damn well have who the hell he likes at his - and I would never dream of interfering. Ah, what the hell. I'm well out of all of that.

I do hope someone trips her up on the dance floor tonight though. My ex-husband has promised to try, but he'll be too busy propping the bar up to trip anyone up.

Thats really petty,hope you enjoy Christening

[Bbbananas]

This person has a First Class Degree with Honours in pettiness & bitchiness. In fact I think she's working on her Masters.


The Christening will be a real good family knees-up. Minus a newlywed or two. We will wet the baby's head in style. Bless her - it goes all afro when it's wet (her hair). Curly Sue we should call her!

thats families............ may have been a difficult decision for step son.
