 Fucking MARVELLOUS :o(
	Fucking MARVELLOUS :o(Have I fuck. Actually with what I'm doing with legal stuff, I've got better access this year then I usually get. I saw my kid as normal on Saturday and will see her again fairly soon: last year I didn't see her for 3 consecutive weekends. With legal letters going to my ex every couple of weeks she doesn't dare try that shit this year. It makes me very sad to see, but it is abundantly clear that I have to act the heavy in order to get her to behave.

 I spent a year being flatly refused even to discuss greater access.
	I spent a year being flatly refused even to discuss greater access.Wouldn't even talk to me - one legal letter later, I get my (admittedly pointless and concession-free) meeting. It's such a waste of time.
I have to get to Winchester by train today so I'm hoping my MD lets me out of here asap. There's a game casserole with my name on it waiting for me at my mother's.
Full day for you?

 No idea
	No ideaVery much doubt I'll have to stay the duration but as soon as I do get out I've got last-minute Christmas shopping to do with Ms Foxtrot. Not sure I wouldn't rather stay here where the plebs can't get me. Then it's off to try and keep up with three incredibly excited anklebiters. I'm massively looking forward to it but am expecting to feel like hell when I'm back here Thursday morning.

	Yeah, it was horrific. No fights in the pub, but I watched a glorious 6 man brawl outside the Half Moon across the way.
I was shattered, so just adopted a no wanker policy, turned away quite a few groups of lads. But it saves us, everyone else around here got trouble.
