angelnicki, hugs, huge ones. Dealing with ME is such a challenge in itself without and X behaving like that.

Johanne, have you thought of assertiveness training. Believe it or not. I was a senior teacher in a large secondry school but was totally unable to stand up for myself when dealing with DH. He bullied me and behaved like a teenager for years until I eventually told him exactly what I wanted. I decided that I needed help so did a course and was able to speak up for myself. He is back to the kind doting husband I married almost 25 years ago. He says he has got baxck the wife he married too.

I know I didn't do so well when dealing with my friend the other evening, but I was also so shocked at being spoken to like that.

HHHI maybe a half a half hour iron? Easier just to not do it.

Maybe a Dad's survival kit then? Have you had a look on the special occasions board, some on there have done hampers and gifts for older gents. They IMO are always the most difficult to buy for we have one who is the boys Great Great Uncle, he's 80, has no children/grandchildren, doesn't watch tv, no longer holidays, doesn't drink/smoke, has more gloves/hats/scarves/socks/clothes than he knows what to do with, has to be extremely careful about what he eats etc and I can't think of ANYTHING to buy him!

If they are still nimble what about a jigsaw? could even be made of a favourite photo?
or audio books of their favourite radio programmes from the past - like Round the Horn etc

:rotfl: DH has just asked me if my hands are painful because I have got RSI from typing on here today.:rotfl:

I think he is becoming just a little jealous of my laptop!:rotfl:

I must go and get my supper, we have had meals at odd times today so I think my tea is now supper. DD and DH have been cooking together and he is the best clearer upper in this house so I am leaving it all to them.

ARGH!!!! I have just been told by someone (ok slightly crafty it's me who found out but needed my way of having a little security!) that my landlady is planning to move back up here in February. She had told my neighbour she wanted to rent the house out incase she ever needed to move back but said we could be here for several years as I did say we did not want a short term tenancy because of the boys.

Off looking for other houses while I wait for her to hopefully email back, I have obtained an email address for her which I hope works as her contact number is no longer recognised. Not as if she's been a decent landlady we have had so many things like the deposit isn't protected, we've had to fix stuff, have had no gas safety done which was due in september etc etc and now I find this out and she hasn't even mentioned it but the boys are happy here! I really hope she isn't planning on moving back into here but I think she will be

I don't want the hassle, expense or to pull DS2 out of a school he's making so much progress in, I know there will be other houses, some cheaper but we like it here. Off for a frustrated/angry/upset cry!

Thanks toots, I will have a look when my mind is a bit more on it.
