I have finished a really big job, and went for a meal and a few jars with the client tonight.

May decide not to do a damned thing tomorrow, but BT are supposed to sort my line upgrade this week, so may be offline for a few days, not sure.

Hey sweet cheeks.


I know, my family are all expats as well, so the announcement that we are off to Spain wasn't even worthy of a discussion, it was just....Oh OK>

They hate me anyway, and her sisters all hate her for having the balls to get out of the family home.

Emotional blackmail is evil and families that need to resort to it are very insecure.

Thats exactly how they are. They have a highly successful riding yard with quite a few competition horses in it, and when my OH left after working there all her life unpaid, the 5 top owners all pulled out. It was a big blow for them, something they haven't forgiven me for as I encouraged it, but she has to start living her life and now she can.

oh lord! you're for it!!

now what I suggest is get her pregnant and have the baby in Mogadishu, have a Muslim non-legal marriage ceremony on a beach in Bali that nobody knows about or is invited to, tattoo your name on her back in 9 inch lettering, and decide you wish to live in Spain as "people of the earth" in a mud hut, crapping in a hole in the ground and dancing naked in the evening with your child called Moonwind Earthbussom

Ahhh! A young'un eh? Barely a slip of a wee lassie, just out of her teens. Almost young enough to be on your passport!

That may well have something to do with the difficulties your having?

I'm tempted to say 'catholic priest' but I won't
