    (((((Tias Friend))))) I had a delayed miscarriage at 13 weeks, we were only told at the scan, It was a horrible time, my Friends and family kept me sane. Be there as much as you can for your friend Tia, its times like these that people need a shoulder to cry on! Personally i found going out shopping the hardest, seeing pregnant women all around me, i was so jealous! My BF realised this and always came with me, for the first month or so i was a wreck when i saw anyone who was pregnant! Then when the babys due date arrived again i was an emotional wreck but we went up to the graveyard where the baby was buried and lay some flowers!!!

    done NOTHINg apart from refill freezer

    because DD wanted to go on a bike ride with her friend and shouted M-u-u-u-u-m what's the combination for the bike lock? Well it wasn't what I thought it was! Must have slipped. I'm up to 8000+ now - it's the most boring thing I have ever done and I fell asleep! (I'm on a chair, in the shed) but have arranged for NDN to attack it for me if I fail cos I haven't got any suitable tools to break/cut it.

    Back for a final assault on bike lock!

    Thank you all for your replies, first battle of world war 3 is over now having
    • realised I want to smash everything up to get their attention
    • checked the calendar and realised yes I have PMT
    • shouted at the kids to do stuff and annoyed them
    • got the kids shouting at each other
    • got the kids to physically bug each other
    • got kids to slam doors refusing to do anything else
    • decided that the efforts to cook tea were going nowhere
    • started it myself
    Tag – the wine will do me Noooooo good whatsoever, some have seen me after a glass of wine on a Sunday night and OH has gone to work now

    Mudbath – I don’t iron for anyone but myself these days unless a special occasion

    Hex2 and Sarah – you are both right, but why should I have to tell OH what to do, he’s an adult too

    MOJT – blinds were still closed when I came home from work!

    Mudbath – the kids already have a rota of jobs to do, they have to each keep their room tidy daily, make their beds, remove all their stuff from living room plus between them they have to clear and wipe table, walk dog, sweep the downstairs floors with the sweeper, S/S kitchen or Bathroom.

    If done daily they each get £1 per week for each year of their age, any jobs not done they haven’t earnt a percentage of the money and its taken off their total. Out of this they have to buy all their own non essentials.

    They still don’t do them and don’t seem to care that it stresses me out.

    Feeling a bit calmer now anyway as they have had their sausage pasta and cleared away after them while I had sweet breakfast rolls with HM blackcurrant jam (comfort food) with a cuppa tea DS made

    I am now going to do the bathroom as I will get some sastisfaction from dearest pigpens lovely lists :D
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    Hugs to your friend Tia - I lost my first when I was about 8 weeks and I was absolutely devastated at the time.

    Hugs Kaz

    Just been to Asda and got a few bits, WM is on its 3rd load and the TD is on its 2nd.

    Because he's not doing it now, and it's driving you crazy!!!

    I agree you shouldn't have to tell him, but it's back to the whole theory of 'Team Kazmeister' Everyone's got to do their bit, inc the OH. Somone's got to be at the helm of the ship.... and since no-one else is doing anything, it falls to you, as you are the one that's bothered.

    Hope that helps, and doesn't make you want to smash the computer!!:D PMT is a biatch!!!
