Got home... read posts... realised that I probably should have just done stuff instead
but I'm now nicely de-stressed after work and should be able to get a bit done tonight. I plan to go off the gym at the crack of dawn tomorrow as if I'm in the office all day, but as I'm working from home I hope to get a bit more done around the house. The good thing about being out of the house so much is at least the effects of making an effort last well.

Go on then, clever clogs

Right, the me, me, me post.
I'm a bit upsy-downsy this evening and consequently emotional which is not like me AT ALL (that said, there's nothing so powerful as the female hormone!).
DD came round last night and was in tears because her boyfriend of about 2 years had just called it a day. She's still in love with him. You more mature ladies know what it's like with the kids - you do the soothing, the gentle talk but inside you hurt just as bad as they do and you worry dreadfully about them.
This evening ex1 phoned. DS was around so after a bit I handed the phone over. It quite choked me up listening to the bits I could hear.
The subject came up about ex1's Mum (she could nag like hell and simultaneously talk the hind leg off a donkey from what I remember!) - should she be told of the contact or not?
In the end we agreed ex1 could tell her but would not give out my phone number to her. So, we'll just wait for the onslaught anyway.
Right, I need to go to bed. I need to sleep to allow my subconcious to sort out all these conflicting thoughts that are running round my head.
Night night ladies.I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Morning All
Hope you're feeling a bit brighter this morning Soappie.
I've been up since 4.50 to make sure DH's clothes were dried that he wanted for work - we had a row last night because I'd washed the wrong things first! When he got up he informed me that he'd sorted out his clothes last night and he didn't need anymore - I was not impressed. He's not home now until Saturday and I hate it when I'm mad at him when he goes away and then he's not going to be back to sort it out!
So today I'm doing more washing, taking the kids and dogs blackberry picking and see what I get done from today's list. Don't think I'll bother stripping the bed though as I've got enough washing to do. Probably leave it until Saturday then DH can make it again! Also got another bloke coming this afternoon to give me a quote for the new boiler.
Hope everyone has a good day
I'll post a proper list later
