**Bar's Open**

I've just glanced at my ticker and it scared me...lolol.

Question; How long should you leave it before returning a business fone call??? I was told ''I'll fone you back'' at 945am..... its 11am now and ive had no fone call.....

Can you see these ..... am I the first to switch on the lights????

Sod the soft drinks and toasties I will have a night cap as its gone midnight here ....maybe a baileys thanks.

As for the phone call maybe wait till midday, depends on context really.

Ahem......does a wee baileys count seein' as it's Chrimble and all?! Sniff.....

I just found another switch.

Oooh it's looking lovely this year, you've done such a good job with the place ?...voddy & coke please...

?

Can I have a nice big hot chocolate please?

I just had a really big row with my sister, over something silly, and I have tears streaming down my face, feel really sh1tty now.

I need a stiff drink tooo as I'm also very upset and pissed off!!!

hugs and tissues to ash...... you go first ash...whats up?

and i love the lighting displays!!

Are you sure because once I open the floodgates who knows where it'll end???

Go on, we have plenty of tissues and plenty more hot chocolates as well as a few more hardcore drinks in stock I think.

Thats why we are all together in a bar!!!

Yes I've got some of those balm ones to hand so I think we have every base covered...

It sounds really silly...

but yesterday I asked her if she wanted to go to a town nearby with me. She said no because she had no money, etc. Then she phoned me today and not only was she in the town but in the shop I wanted to go to. It really upset me. Apart from you lovely people I don't see or speak to anyone all day from when I drop D off to when I pick him up. All my friends work. I am desperate for a job during the day and can't seem to get one. It just hurts my feelings that she doesn't want to spend time with me. I never get to see my nieces anymore either. We used to be so close, she's my MOH, but now.....

Sorry I really don't want to be so depressing and I never normally cry but this has upset me. I'm sure I'll be fine in a minute and back to myself.

Did she say 'No' because she knows you like that shop and she was buying your christmas pressie...thus didn't want you tagging along?

It's a weird old time of year...I'm sure you'll be fine though

No it wasn't that kind of shop. I wanted to go and get her youngests Christmas present there.

It's just the icing on the cake I think. I see her at the school everyday and ask her if she wants to come round for a cuppa. She never does. And everyday her kids ask to come to my house and she always says no to that too.

What's up TeeHee?

Mmmm Tadah could have a point. Did she tell you why she was there after she said no to you? - seems odd that she would mention it after not going with you. Is this an isolated incident or have there been a number and this was the final straw? Can you talk to her about things - maybe she is unaware of things?

Sorry for the 20 questions. Another box of tissues needed yet?

Sorry for all those questions which I relaize you have answered already, posts must have crossed. Any chance of talking to her about it??

No I'm ok now thanks. I've been talking to my Dad about it, he rang me and knew I was upset, and his words were "You know how selfish she is and she just doesn't realise she's hurting peoples feelings."

She already bought my present last week when my Daughter was with her. I guess she just had a better offer from someone else!?! I think it must have caught me at a weak moment.

I'll see if she mentions it when I see her this afternoon at school. Her and her family are round our house for Christmas so I'll end up letting it go, again, if she doesn't say anything because it'll cause an atmosphere otherwise.

Well I suppose at least you know its not just you, if your Dad is saying she is selfish too. I know that doesn't make it any easier though. Just wondering if you stopped making all the effort would she pull her finger out and make a bit of effort.

No I'd never see her!!?

Although their house is on the market and they are hoping to move near us so no doubt there'll be something she'll want a hand with!!

Oh dear ash, thats crappy. Dont have a sister but have had friends do that to me and it is a bit crap.... must make you think about your decision to have her as MOH......big huggles to ya...

mine is just the same ole flat selling nonsense. Yesterday was supposed to be attempt number 2 at finalising the deal and I jumped on the train and went through to where my flat is and where my solicitor is. For 2 weeks I have been waiting for an official letter confirming I paid a council bill in 2005. I called them again today and the nice chappy who was dealing with it managed to email me a 'letter' confirming I had paid the bill. I sent it to my solicitor and she wrote back saying it wasnt really ideal as it doesnt refer back to the work in detail!!! This pooooooor couple are desperate to move into their new flat and Im desperate for my money!!! Ive had to write back and ask for more details etc etc etc.... I'm living up to my drama queen title but this is sooooo frustrating. I will be met with hold ups due to holidays and I NEEEEED the money NOWWWW....

<stamps foot>

ive just eaten 4 calander chocs all at once....

Mmm then I guess you just have to accept her for how she is and try to not let it bother you too much. I have a friend who is absolutely crap at keeping in touch, always busy etc. but thats just how she is!

I am dreading selling our house.

They were probably hoping to be in for Christmas?! Hopefully it'll get sorted soon. Must be frustrating though because it sounds like there isn't much you yourself can do!

Was it the next four chocolates or four you'd not had?? You do know it's supposed to be a countdown.

Teehee - how FRUSTRATING! So the solicitor says its not ideal, but can she not make do with whatever it is.

Another drink? You can finish my Baileys as I'm off to bed shortly.

Oh its 4 days I havent eaten......

i need a shower...

The bar is empty!???

Hellooooooo?? (puts another quid in the juke box)...

Just back from a 2 hour lunch in all bar one.....hic! ? Well they took a long time with our food!

Wine anyone?

I need a LARGE glass of wine white please. who'd have thought the week before Christmas we would be so busy at work, only just had 5 minutes to come and hitch. Roll on 5 o'clock my auntie is coming for tea tonight so I can see us getting through a few bottles of wine tonight.

CHAMPAGNE ALL ROUND!!! I SOLD MY FLAT....

WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Congrats Teehee!! That's great news!

I'll have a champagne with a cheeky rasberry stolli in to toast you!

Hooray!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!! This calls for a mega celebration!!!!!?
