My wee one loves having a whistle and a torch as well, just like Daddy.

Mine's the same

The novelty can wear pretty thing, pretty quickly though

Funny, my daughter had a little plastic whistle in the house yesterday 

Somehow it 'got lost'

it done a great job chako, i was going to use the wave but thought i was better with the extra length    as always i was impressed with the saw, plus felt good in the hand,

One thing about the Super Tool series, they do have a nice size to them.

ok little update on my daughter situation, my ex has not got the form from the school yet  dam there slow, but i knew this wouldnt be a quick thing , she should have it by today or monday they said to me Thursday,and then we have to wait till May 26th for a meeting , till then im going to try and have her over as much as i can during the week to give her a bit of normality, plus i can sort out her homework better with her as her mum does none , again thank you everyone for the kind works and kind distractions, i feel much more relaxed at the moment ,im just waiting for the next bit when she gets this form

Yeah the wheel's turn slowly don't they

[Zed]

Yeah the wheel's turn slowly don't they

painfully slow mate but i knew this    ill just keep giving them a nudge now and then 

[nuphoria]

Stay strong dude.... just take each obstacle as it comes and don't let yourself get overwhelmed by it.

I like your new shinies

[Zed]

OK just a little up date, recently my ex and her partner both got the sack, long story, she has rung me today and decided that she will pick coral up every day from school ( she has been at mine after nursery/school since she was 3, im not happy as she has said its because she can sort out her school work, (first time since she has gone to school and she is 10)  its yet another obstacle , we had words on the phone but as usual i feel wound up, here we go again, the annoying part is give it a few weeks and she will find a job etc and it will go back to her coming back here, Im P#ss off now, even more than i was,    sorry ranting and updating

[Gareth]

Rant away Paul it's totally understandable.   What many parents don't seem to get (and your ex sounds like one of them) is that kids need a great amount of consistency in their lives, NOT things changing.  Just because it's what you ex wants to do doesn't mean that it's good for your Daughter.  Does this mean you're going to see a lot less of them?

cheers gareth, yep ill only see her every other weekend, she said its so she has more time to help coral with her school work, this is crap, its because she has been sacked from her job as a care manager of a care agency and now cant get another job, she would never be honest with me mate , its coral who will be effected as with her dyspraxia she needs a routine, oh well back to the drawing board, we have a meeting at corals school in 26th of may, i hope some good comes of it, sadly today im looking after our friends baby as i really need a very long walk, 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Damn sorry to hear that mate

I'm sure it won't be for long though, and your ex will need help and cave before too long (voice of experience here ) and you'll be back to your old routine again

Sadly it's never easy where kid's are involved

One of the benefit's of working where I am, is that I get to speak to a few single Dad's, and it's good to have a moan with folk's who know where I'm coming from

So offload whenever you want mate
