    Just wanted to share some really good news with everyone.

    My oldest lad has just received notification this morning that he is being offered an unconditional place at Birmingham University (his first choice) to do a three year Illustration and Visual Communication course leading to a BA degree starting September. I am so proud of him, he worked hard at school, worked even harder at college and now he had got the course he wanted at the University he wanted. Well chuffed for the lad.

    I would also like to say a big public thank you to Ken who has been helping me understand how the Uni faculties thingy works and the interview process that Daniel has had to go etc. Thanks Ken.

    On the downside, his mother has really pissed me off this afternoon by arranging to take my lads out for dinner to celebrate Dan’s good news. Monday night is always my night to see the kids and I had already made plans for us to go somewhere special. I am not letting on that I am angry about it as don’t want to take the shine of the day for Dan but behind the scene I am fcuking stewing about it, given the chance I would cut one of her many heads off. Bitch

    Congratulations to a proud father, and well done Daniel.
    Try not to let "her" ruin your day mate, just plan something else for you and your son.

    Great news and hope he does well.
    One thing to remember is whatever she does with him DO something better.If it is more fun with Dad it will be what he will always talk about.Sometimes holding back does have advantages.That will piss her off even more...:)

    Great news Freedom, I wish him well with his studies and he should have a lot of fun as well.

    Pity about your planned celebrations getting upset, but you have done the right thing. You will be able to have your celebration with him and i am sure it will be very special for you both. I have several exes and they can be a real pain in the proverbial, I found ignoring them to be my personal best way of dealing with them. I just pretended they didn't exist, not so easy with kids though.

    Nothing will change how proud you are though, not even multiple headed exes ;)

    Congratulations to you both, you for being the proud and rightly so dad, and your son for working so hard to get what he wants.

    Sorry about the balls ache for a celebration, but he will remember the one with his dad, a) because it's with his dad and b) because hers will pale in comparison:D

    Have a great time when you finally get to do something.

    Xx

    Chuffed for you mate! It's a good feeling isn't it when the kids do well.
    Don't let the ex get to you though, they are happy knowing they have grated on your tits, so don't give her the satisfaction.

    Great news mate ..

    Feel your pain with the ex misses .. I won custody of my boy in september after 2 years in court . Some of the stuff she done was unbelievable and only for her benefit .
    As already said above , Loads more fun with Dad. What lads wanna go out with the old gal for the day ? Fishing ? Bikes ? Mud ? no chance a woman can fill those boots .

    Just make up for it on your next time with the boys and they will talk about what a cracking time they have had

    Happy fcuking days. My college in Hong Kong just got up and called me. If he can’t sort a problem pronto Spain could be the least of my problems anyone for a Chinese takeaway.
