Aaah foreversomeday. Its heart breaking when you are trying so hard and noone else is playing ball. Try and put up with it for the 3 weeks until he moves out and then it can get better. Dont worry about coming on here to rant either, we all have rant days and we all have days where we listen to other peoples rants. This is a great thread to be on because we all experience similar things sometimes in different ways but we're all great people who will come out the other side of our problems.

TAG Glad you got an apology - I cant remember EVER getting one from my OH as he is never wrong

Right I am going this time otherwise bed will be the wrong side of midnight again :wave:

Night night :shhh:

soappie

Right, I'm off to bed. Need to do the work thing in the morning.

Hugs to all those having fallings out. You know, I was pottering in the kitchen this evening and realised we've almost got a full moon. It's probably that that is upsetting everyone's rhythyms.

Sleep tight ladies..

Sounds like its been a dramatic day. I hope everyone's issues sort themselves out... don't forget it's over halfway through the school holidays (for those with kids), the weather's filthy and there's the moon too (thanks soappie for pointing out another disruptive influence!), so its no wonder things are getting tough.

Hang in there and try to find some time for yourselves, even if it's 10 minutes sitting admiring your hard work before someone comes in and makes a mess :rolleyes: . Or treat yourself to a little luxury like some really yummy chocolate or a new pair of knickers... whatever makes you feel good . And at least you all know you've got good virtual friends who'll be here to listen.

I was very daunted when I started this week... although I did have a major blitz over the weekend based on last week's lists, and I've been surprised how manageable it is even on the second time round. The level of both clutter and dirt is definitely going down (although my utility room floor did get more of a cleaning than I bargained for after I cleaned the WM filter... oops... remember to check it's properly done up next time ).

I was working from home today, and I've discovered that I can get loads of cleaning done when I'm on long phone calls. Windows are especially good for this... so I have three lovely clean windows, a shining towel rail and miles (well, feet ) of clean skirting board thanks to three VERY long and VERY dull telephone calls... hopefully they couldn't tell

Thanks for all the inspiration. I hope those who've had bad days do better tomorrow. :grouphug:

Hello lovely flyladies!!!!!! :wave:

Back from a lovely 24hours with Flip Flop. Up late, chatting and drinking wine!! Fab, just what I needed. BUT no flying done at all for 2 days, so.... lots to do tomorrow, plus, packing for 2 weeks hols, leaving on Sat... :eek: Haven't done a thing!!!!!!

Hope all are well, and (((((hugs))))) for anyone who needs them.

Right, going to prise OH off the sofa, and peel myself off there too!

See you all in the morning, for some big time FLYING!!!!!:D
:T :T :T :T

oohh

foreversomeday

I am so glad he's moving out in 3 weeks. You just don't need that kind of stress when you're a mum. I totally understand. It's hard enough putting up with your OH and sproggy mess without a lodger behaving like he's living in a student squat. The truth is he probably doesn't realise just how offensive and obnoxious this is to you, so let it go if you can. It's better for your stress levels.

Mudbath and kaz and anyone ele on holiday - have a great time with NO cleaning!

(i've been on holiday since 2003);)
