Resolved Question: problems with in-laws?

Friday, May 15th, 2009
hi, am really needing some advise as am struggling with deciding what is the best thing to do. i have always struggled to get on with my mother in-law, she treats my husband (her son) awfully and always has done, and favors her daughter (my sister-in-law). the problem that i am having is that on christmas eve me and my husband had an argument, which was instigated by myself, about the fact that we were not making time for my own family and were spending christmas eve, boxing day and new years day with my mother and sister in law. from this argument my husband txt his mum late christmas eve and said we could only spend half of boxing day at her house as was spending time with my family. his mother and sister then fell out with me and said not to bother going at all on boxing day or new years day. my mother in law didnt even bother to see or even phone my son on christmas day nor on his birthday 2 days later, my husband picked up his birthday present which arrived in a carrier bag not even wrapped (he is only 5). since then our daughter has been born and i sent an apology to my mother in law for any upset i may have caused at christmas stating that it was best for the children if we resolve this, her reply was not a chance. shortly after having my daughter she came to see her, on the provision that i was in the bath out of the way, which being tired after labour i agreed to! now she wants my husband to take the children to see her at her house every weekend for a couple of hours, this has been the final straw and after a couple of weeks i said no-more, and she was no longer seeing the children as i believe her to be vicious. with our 5 year old son she refuses to have him and will not give him the time of day simply saying she prefers girls to boys! i dont want her to become involved with my daughter because 1) i dont want to upset my son because he is not bothered with and 2) both her and her daughter can be really nasty and i dont want my daughter to get caught up in it. the problem is am i being out of order for stopping her seeing them? i like to think i am doing it for as much their benefit as my own but my husband doesnt think so. i feel he is betraying me by not sticking by me and running off to his mothers at every oppertunity and trying to make out i am using the children as weapons. any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated as i think i need some objective help!

Big Box Chocolate Formats are No Problem for Marden Edwards

Friday, May 15th, 2009
When Mieszko, one of Poland’s leading confectionery manufacturers, wished to enhance the look of its new A’Madorro chocolates packed in large format boxes, it turned to Marden Edwards, which supplied a S4BX225FF individual large format pack overwrapper to do the job. The machine can wrap pack sizes between 75mm x 55mm x 17mm and 450mm x 300mm x 125mm at speeds up to 40 packs/minute, depending on carton size, without affecting the high quality look of the over-wrap, which is particularly important for luxury chocolates. The Polish company produces a range of selections in differing box sizes...
