I ended up phoning the police last night after mam phoned saying Kay's dad was banging on the front door trying to get in. I could hear him over the phone and I'm sure mam wanted me to go up and confront him which wasn't going to happen believe me. I told her to stay inside while I phoned the police which I did then phoned her back until they came. She kept going on about how she'd done nothing to encourage him, this is despite Kay telling me that he'd slept at mam's house on Monday night, and you know I would say that was encouragement right there. Anyway, the police came and she put the phone down so I could hear what she was saying, at which point she told them she was fine, she didn't know why I'd phoned for them and crap like that. She then hung up on me. Needless to say she'd been drinking. More fool me for getting involved I guess. Add that to the powercut the night before and the nights have been fun around here I tell you.

But things weren't all bad yesterday. I went to the teacher/parent meeting and despite getting the steely eye from Mrs Glencross things went fine. Though I'm still amused that she used my first name when the other parents are Mr or Mrs. Corey is doing fantastically well, he's been moved up a group in maths, is doing great in english and she's very happy with his progress, which is wonderful. I'm so proud of him. Reading through his work it seems he's got a thing for wizard and kidnapping stories, a Harry Potter fan in the making I think.

After that we drove to the coast as it was a nice night. We picked up the MiL and went to our favourite beach and it was just so beautiful. It was late, about 8:30 then and Corey and I were the only ones on the sand. He was wave dodging as he still had his uniform on but I went for a paddle and you know the water was freezing but it didn't seem to matter as the wet sand sucked at my feet while Corey and I laughed and dodged the waves as the ocean turned dark as the sun set.

I also changed my journal yesterday as I thought it was time for a change, so I made a new banner, added some components and I'm pretty happy with it. Look here if you'd like to see.

Boo at the police business. :/

God, I want to live near the ocean, too. [sigh]

Chriiiiiis! Pretty. :))

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it wasn't the best time last night I have to admit.

I love the ocean so much, I know I'm lucky to live within easy driving distance of it.

He really is! I love him so much!

How are you, honey? Feeling better about things?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Ohhh you added a google search. That has to be the most perfect addition ever lol

And your mam is... there's no word, really.

So you didn't get corner time, then? Good for you lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Wait... there seems to be a sort of... band of colour? Grey under the banner. Can you see it?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I had to have a google search in there when I saw the code for it, like you said it's the perfect addition *g*

Mam is annoying as hell. Kay came after I'd posted and said mam had been flirting with him all night which is why he followed her home.

I didn't get corner time, just a steely eyed look then things were fine ;)

[digital-diva.livejournal.com]

The banner is absolutely gorgeous. Great job!

As for your mom *shakes head* ... *sigh* ... wish she'd just leave you alone, ya know?

*clings*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Expect mail soon, btw.

I wish she would leave me alone too, as it is I get torn between not doing anything and leaving things alone knowing they could get a million times worse by doing so.

*clings to you*

[agent99.livejournal.com]

Imagine that, a layout that dosn't suck! I wouldn't know what that's like hehe. Good job :D I dig the colors.

Sigh. Your mom sounds a lot like a friend or two of mine. You just..yeah. You don't know what to do about it anymore, your just like "..."

But at least your icon is hot. Because Chris clearly = happiness.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'm sure your layout is just fine, you have great taste in men so that surely means you have great taste full stop ;)

Yeah, you've got it in terms of mam. At this point it's just a case of carrying on the best you can because things won't change and you just run out of ideas.

Chris is indeed hot, and you have to happy when that much hotness is around. He makes me smile and that's a good thing :D

How are you doing, honey? It seems you haven't been around for ages.

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

I have absolutely no idea what to say re your mam. just hugs for you.

your evening on the beach sounds amazing though and Chris! Pretty!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

There's not much you can say really, but it's a new day and really I'm not going to dwell.

*hugs you tight*

It really was an amazing evening, I had a lot of fun, it could have been a little warmer though *g*

He is pretty! I don't know about the green though, it's making me seasick ;)

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry about the trouble with your mam. *hugs tight*


But it's great that Corey does so well at school *cheers* and the evening at the beach sounds again very wonderful. *is so jealous*

I like the layout! But I'm surprised - you like Chris? That's pretty recent, isn't it? Or you just don't talk about it much. *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thanks, honey. *hugs you back*

I'm so proud of how hard Corey works and yeah, now it's warming up a little I'll be at the beach a lot. You'll get sick of my posts about it I bet *g*

But I'm surprised - you like Chris?

I do! He's gorgeousbeautifulprettysexyhot! ;)

[rikes]

*hugs*

a Harry Potter fan in the making I think.

Ahahaha. That's what happens when you have fannish parents :).

I really like the new layout. Chris!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

*hugs you back* Thanks, honey.

Yeah, I guess the fannish stuff does filter down to him. I was most impressed with his stories, they were better than some I'd read on here ;)

Thank you again. Chris makes everything better I think :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bettina_/]

Ohhh, very nice layout!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

Pretty!!! I absolutely adore your banner. Truly yes. And the colors are spectacular. :-D Nice and springy!!

RE your mam... I have no words of wisdom, though I wish I did. *cuddles*

Glad Corey is doing so well in school. YAY!!! (I have a meeting with Little Guy's teacher today *crosses fingers*)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I just fancied a change you know? So had a mess about in PS.

No words of wisdom needed about mam, she is who she is and I doubt that'll change, but thank you. *holds you tight*

Good luck on your meeting too. I'll be thinking of you.

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

teeeeeerrrrrrriiiiiiiiiii!

i misssssseeed yooooooooou!

and now i feel behind on all the news. bah.

/insane.

smooches,
me <33333333

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I missed you too, honey!

I'm sure you're having a blast but there's a big JM shaped hold on LJ right now.

I'll have to text you. *makes note, charge phone*

*smooches you*

[callsigns.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like your new banner! One of these days, I swear I'm going to figure out how to do the CSS thing. CSS? Whatver, you know what I mean.

Ouch, I'm sorry about your mam, but mmm, what a lovely time at the beach that sounds!

*big hugs* for you in general, my dear.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Coding is a pain in the ass, why I do it I don't know, I guess I like the challenge *g*

The beach really was lovely and you know mam is mam, I doubt she'll change.

*holds you tight* Thanks honey.

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeeeee!

New layout's PRETTY, verymuchyes. I like green, heh.

And YAY for Corey, that's totally awesmome. "Terri". You're never EVER gonna be Mrs. _____ to her, are you? Hee.

And your mam's insane in the bad way, but I'll just shut up before I get going about that.


And codes! Codes are bad, I think. I realized how true any and all complaints I've ever heard from you or Mouse about tagging for your site are absolutely true when I was tagging onlyafewstories for my archive. It was totally like whoah. But how do codes work? How do you make the background pretty, or have a pic for the bg that holds still as the page scrolls, and get rid of the annoying blue hyperlink text, and stuff like that? 'Cause I =LIKE= having my work in an archive, but I *kmow* it could be better looking. A Lot "".

darnit, i knew there was something i wanted to bug you about when we were IMing, heh.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

YAY! I'm glad you like it! I'm still getting used to the colour, going from pink to green is a big change.

I'm totally 'Terri' to her and a lot of the other teachers too, not that I mind really, it's a cool link to my own childhood.

Man, I was supposed to mail and tell you all that wasn't I? You know you should poke me about it because my memory sucks. If I haven't mailed you by tomorrow night harass me okay?

[nopseud]

{hugs}

Yay for corey!

Y'know, I need to get off my fat arse and organise some kind of meeting-up thing. Expect e-mail soonish.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

*hugs back*

Thank you :)

I'll surely watch for mail, I'm seeing A next weekend so I'll be fantastic to sort some other meetings out.

[stellamira]

I'm sorry about the thing with your mom, that really sucks. *hugs* But I'm also happy for you that the day got better, with Corey doing so well in school and the time at the ocean. I've always wanted to live closer by the sea.

Last, not least, your new journal looks really nice (even though I must admit that the braids-era isn't my favorite Chris era.)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the problems with mam are ongoing but I don't let them knock me down anymore. Which is why days always get better in the end, and the vist to the beach was lovely.

I'm glad you like the new layout, I love the braids personally but then again there's not many looks I don't like on him ;)

[clumsygyrl.livejournal.com]

oh dude, that's horrible. *hugs* i'm sorry that there's all this craziness lately.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

*hugs back*

Thanks, honey.

[seiyaharris.livejournal.com]

So, layouts. **pets pretty Chris** Just lovely, and very nifty with the google and LJ search things. How have you made your journal all pretty hon? I wanna put a header on mine but the thought of the coding has me running for the hills, any help you can give me would be like, well, I already love you but um, I'll give you bribes gifts? *g*

**snuggles**

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I follow tutorials from here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/component_help/). But if that's clear as mud I can direct you to my code then all you'd have to do is put the url for your own banner and delete anything you don't want.

Which reminds me, have you any idea if you and Charlie could make the meeting in York? There's still no date yet or any real plans really so I suppose I'm just seeing if you would come *g*

Have fun at the cottage!

*smooches you*

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

ohhhh pretty! I really like the banners, and the colors too!

eh, on your mom. she should just go away.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

Yeah, she really should at times like that.
