TAG

Think you'll get the same amount as yesterday then?

soappie

Tag - I sincerely hope not! It was about this time yesterday the first smaller batch came in (by small think about 3000 ish!!!) then all was quiet until the evening. I'll see how many I get with this lot and than plan for an evening attack!

soappie

It seems to be tailing off a bit now - they're not coming in quite so fast and furious as before. Count so far is 4972 emails in the last half hour :eek:

TAG

Are you getting these on your own personal pc then?

Well this morning it started off lovely and sunny. Then it tipped down and now it's lovely and sunny again. Do I dare hang out the bedding I've just washed?

Really crap day yesterday. Ended up finding a new game to play and then played it to death till 11.30pm last night. Was very depressed.

Then DH accussed me of being a lazy so and so because I didn't do anything yesterday. Apart from clear DS bedroom ready for decorating. Then I wanted some stuff moved but he wouldn't move from in front of the tv to help. So I just gave up in the end.

And because I didn't do any flying yesterday the house is a pigsty. So it just goes to show who actually does the cleaning and what happens when I don't. I really would love to be single at times. Bloody men are PITA's.

Right I'm gonna finish some of my list. God forbid I should want a bit of a break of a weekend.:rolleyes: There will be paybacks though.

:rotfl:DH just read this and has now named me 'one sided Annie' He is of course free to add his side of events but has at the moment declined the option:rotfl::rolleyes:

Wonder why?;)

:grouphug: what can I say - I haven't got a man. So at least the mess is mine - and there's no one to complain - because DS and DD are visually impaired when it comes to spotting mess!

Take care of yourself!

TAG, yes, they're being brought off my ISP's server into outlook on my pc - if I left them up on the ISP server it would have buckled under the weight of them by now I suspect.

TAG

It's gotta be Team Tag don't you think?? It's Team Shattered in this house. Everyone does stuff, and if I have a 'day off' ....(no such thing with 3 children) my OH really doesn't complain. He had a window into my world when I went into hosp last year. I was in bed for a month. :eek: (poor me, I know!!) Even though I'd cooked practically a month's worth of food, and got up to date with everything before my surgery, it was still unbelievably hard for him. He was always pretty good at not taking me for granted, but that month really sealed it. :A

Perhaps you ought to book a holiday and let your OH do everything while you're away!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Mrs Shattered stirring!!!

Question from DH. He wants to know how many of you have OH/DH that come home to a manky house (see above post plus if you care to my deleted list wherever it's gone) Because you have spent ONE day in front of the pc for 10 hours.

Edited to add that he spent the entire day in front of the TV apart from cooking breakfast and then making some pastry things at 7.00pm ish last night.

Not me Mr. Tag! No OH/DH - so my house stays spotless cos there's no fella to mess it up;)

If you helped it'd be done in half the time! If you lived here you'd have a DIY list as long as your arm - sometimes we need to play the cards we've been dealt!

As ever Sarahshattered offers brilliant advice!

We are the scaffolding that holds our families together - whatever their structure/make up. But OMG doesn't a little bit of appreciation go a long way!
