Dave Thorp's Blog

Last year I made a post on the old blog system basically giving people some home truths over their behaviour or the fact that they couldn’t even be bothered attending Stuart’s first birthday party. Until today that post has remained hidden and even now the fact it is on a legacy system not connected with the main site means many people wont view it.

So this week was Stuart’s second birthday. And what were the results of it?

His Nanna and his Auntie Karen attended and got him presents even though they were short on money (presumably the presents were also from his Grandad on that side)

His Grandma and his Grandpa Harry attended and got him presents even though his Grandma was seriously ill and on antibiotics.

So who does that leave….. well his Grandad on my side of the family. Who wasn’t invited since he lied about why he didn’t attend last year, and has unilateraly proven that he is more bothered about another mans kid than he is about his own grandchildren. You can count the number of times he has seen Alex on one hand and we’re still waiting for Alex’s birth present and Stuart’s second birthday present. Not really worth holding our breath now is it? A poxy buttie shop that amongst other things utilises child labour and a midlife crisis are much more important now!

This is the first post I have ever made on this blog where I have placed a restriction on who can and can’t read it (in this case the only person who can read it is myself). Prior to today there simply hasn’t been a need however there are some things I will be saying in this post which are likely to upset certain people and cause unneeded aggravation.

On the whole Stuart’s first birthday party was a successful event. However saying that there were a couple of serious problems.

1. Whilst the event was well attended, a few members of Stuart’s immediate family couldn’t make the effort to attend with one thinking the timing of the event should fit around his schedule as opposed to when Stuart was actually born. Even worse 3 people cancelled at the last minute meaning the table we had booked for 10 people was actually only taken by 7.

2. One person while they did bother to turn up, the second their significant other (and I use the term significant sparingly given they are shagging someone else while with him) turned up they suddenly vanished meaning we spent the rest of the night trying to find her so we could get on with things like the birthday cake

Other than these two minor blips I’m pleased to say the event was a success and some pics will follow when I can be bothered
