foiled by maths
i decided to be nice to my team and buy krispy kremes for everyone as i got off at a different tube stop this morning. ridiculously it is cheaper to buy 12 than 6, but i thought my little team wouldn't eat 2 each, and 12 wouldn't have been enough for the whole department. only realised when i got to work that there are 7 of us on the team. so now they are all eating krispy kremes and i am - not.

monty - i think you should probably get proper advice as to whether she has a serious chance of succeeding in court on the grounds of massive drugs. i can't help as i've never done family law, but my old firm has a brilliant family team and they are really cheap as they are in uxbridge. or i can put you in touch with our pro-bono clinic so you could get a free overview?? i can't believe any mother could think it was in the best interest of her child to deprive her of spending time with her dad. she's only going to resent her for it when she gets old enough to realise. mind you, once she gets to be 13, she'll hate both of you for ruining her life anyway because she didn't ask to be born...

I'm gaining an insight into the mind of a teenage Rachelswipe here.

I still say that to my mum when she's having a go at me.

It was bad enough saying 'Pro Bono'...
..whilst communicating with Monty. He is probably punching walls and foaming at the mouth.

Imagine what he'll be like when he actually reads Swipes post!

she won't get anywhere unless she can prove it
and prove negligence towards the kid. But her solicitor will tell her she can, because (s)he'll make more money stringing it on to court rather than going "hey, why don't you stop being a total bitch here, you're going to have to compromise and let Monty have better access sometime so why not now, and save both of you thousands of pounds". Welcome to the fucked up world of family law, kids.

On the plus side, if she refuses arbitration or mediation flat out she's basically lost before she steps into a court.
