How about inviting her over to stay with you for new year?"Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Good idea... I think I might give me ma a call now!Originally posted by DaveB View PostIf she is likely to cause trouble with the rest of the family, get in there first and tell them you are going to spend New Year with the b/f cos you've had a rocky patch and want to spend it together. Put your side of the story in first.Bazza gets caught

Maybe I should suggest that... about b/f coming to Ireland... I just don't know!!Originally posted by DS23 View Postgood - that is the most important thing.

She just sent me this....
"I will get over it, I don't want you to stay at home because you feel like I am going to be annoyed with you. In my mind you should want to do it without us having to have an argument but you don't feel like that, and I will learn to accept that I am not a priority, difficult as that may be. Checking with Daddy is nice in essence but did you honestly think that I wanted to spend it with him. Its not like I could have gone out with him or anything.
Your life and decisions are your own responsibility, and as long as you can accept the consequences of your decisions then far be it from me to stand in your way."
Aggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh
