    Glad you all agree with me. I wanted to tell her then but I will be the bigger person and give her the opportunity.

    Michelle, we are struggling on the house front. My mental health is just getting worse and worse and trying to find a balance between looking for a new job and a new house.
    I have sent you a message on the job front actually. x

    Haha Flossie. One of them days when you want to tell your boss to just go home and leave you in peace :)

    Meeting went well... very surprised!

    No, they came out a couple of days ago and confirmed the match would go ahead as usual. It was never under any doubt I don't think, just the media thinking there may have been doubt. If it was in France I think it would have been called off!

    CSA have messed up a little. When I called and told them the story they said my ex is probably not earning anything, I said he is as he has his own business but they cannot do anything about this. That would have fitted into the end of the tax year. She looked into it and apparently there was contact in March and there was a system error, and nothing has been paid in or out. She was unsure what has happened but since then arrears of £545 have amount (he only pays peanuts so I never realised until the last couple of months that he was not paying). I said as it is such a small amount it is something I never rely on and do not really notice it going in and only checked as the letter said I should be getting this arrangement until December so checked my statements.

    This has really really annoyed me as he is sat there thinking he is getting away with it by not paying. You can understand why he is an ex now!!!!

    I don't think they were closed GF so have remained open since the attacks. In the article I read, it said it is basically impossible for France to close it's borders because of the hundreds of roads that lead into it from neighbouring countries - it's impossible for everyone to be stopped, searched and checked.

    I did hear on the news this morning that there have been bombings over some suspected ISIS training camps.

Jeez, people cannot stop going about their business or we would all end up in our homes. My step son heads off to Germany this week, going by coach, across the French borders!

    What was the slip Olly made?!

    I'm fed up and grumpy too today - don't think the weather here has helped. Took me over an hour to get into work this morning, left with plenty of time, then arrive and driving round in the rain trying to park! Plus work is so quiet at the moment - I know I shouldn't complain, but hate clock watching. The days just drag!

    I would not be surprised if a war was started again over this.

    Emily, yes, the annoying thing is I have never stopped my ex seeing the kids, I believe they should still have a relationship with him. Why he seems to think it is OK to just not pay and then have the nerve to not say anything to me. One day they contacted him and suddenly he is texting me asking if I living beyond my means. I said I had not even contacted them so I have no clue why they have. Think it turned out it was routine and nothing to do with me at all, no apology from him though

    Makes you wonder how good their security is though. There was already a warning on the Friday morning before it happened when the German team had to be evacuated from their hotel due to a bomb threat. With ISIS making it clear that it is not over and they will be back they must just be waiting for the next attack. Makes you wonder if and when it will hit other countries too. No one should stop living their life in fear but it is really scary.

    Lindsey, Olly said that Monica was going home when in fact it had been taken to deadlock. Although she did go home in the end anyway on the public vote. People saying it's proof the xf is a fix etc etc.... I genuinely believe he just made an honest mistake, although the xf is a fix! Lol.

    After the judges had made their minds up, it was deadlock and went to the public vote. HOwever, Olly thought that Monica had the most votes from the judges and said she was going home, stupid Flack said no she is not, it is deadlock, anyhoo, it turns out that she had the least votes and everyone is slating Olly for it and saying it is a fix and how he is going to be taken off the show as they are not meant to know who is going. What does it matter, she would have gone anyway whether he slipped up or not!

    With the current refugee situation I don't think we can be on anything other than a high/severe alert, along with all the other countries in the EU! Anyone could be coming in with the refugees and once they are in the EU they are free to travel across it as they wish, hence France not really being able to close their borders. The border is the EU.

    They had a bomb scare in the Eiffel Tower Friday morning too didn't they? I think it was ISIS making them focus on there so they could get to where they wanted to be. It is scary and surely they will end up here at some point but we are prepared I guess.

    Yes it's scary the amount of people they arrest for terror plots in Birmingham- to be honest if they are going to blow themselves up no one can stop them, yiu just have to hope that they continue to foil before it happens.

    Not sure Emma. I know there was a further bomb scare Saturday night at a hotel near the Eiffel Tower - someone I distantly know was staying in the hotel at the time and was talking about it on tw1tt3r. It was a false alarm in the end but everyone was told not to come out of their rooms and they barricaded themselves in just in case.

    Emily, yes, we are all humans, anyone who thinks they do not make mistakes are deluded. And yes, I don't think it will be long before they stop going, both myself and hubby have said they all need to sit down with him on his own, not with his wife and tell him how they all feel. They hate going, their half brother gets away with anything and everything, yet they get into trouble if they don't do what their half brother wants them to do. If they don't tell him straight all that will happen is that he will blame me, even if they tell him he will still blame me,

    Emma, that was just speculation that they came over with them but I have no doubt what so ever that some will have. Was their perfect opportunity.

    The UK has been on high/sever threat for years now. It is frightening.

    I remember when I was in school, there was LOADS of bomb scares in Birmingham city centre. I remember the one time the banned all flow for about 4 hours. We were sat on the floor with staff in a shop until gone 8pm. was nothing we could do..
