    Ok silly question here. Does anyone print the lists to carry around with them so they can see what they're supposed to be doing? I tend to get a bit lost once I leave the computer and get very sidetracked :o

    Sometimes I do, but today was only small so I was OK - when I had the big lists I had to...

    Well, hubby left at 5am this morning with the hump as he didn't have any clothes apparently to take with him to work today (supposed to be staying away for the week) Couldn't be asked to look in the spare room at the mountain of stuff he has there for something could he? - I was supposed to do that after I finished work last night... :mad: He obviously feels guilty for being so miserable as he phoned me to ask how I was but then ruined it by saying that can I make sure all his stuff was washed ready to go... grrrrrrrr men!!!!!!!!!!!
    DS is packed off to college with his lunch and I am back and just got into bed again, headache is really beginning to p*** me off now... have managed to eat some readybrek just because I thought after eating nothing yesterday I should eat something if taking some more tablets (took last lot at 5am...) I have tried stretching, rubbing and heat creams, so now I am going to try sleeping again... somethings got to shift it... see you all later I hope...;)

    I DID get an hour or so to myself when X took sarah out the pet shop to buy dudettes heat lamp and some hoppers! :D Then he walked round for a bit just to give me some time alone apparently..... he has made real effort to look after Sarah today not just taking her out but doing loads with her... he even took her round the corner shop when he went to get milk which he has never done before.... but he goes there almost daily ?!!.... Oh and he also did a DIY job without me even asking.......did someone send him the link to my rant here yesterday ??? :confused: :rotfl:(Hope not he'd never speak to me again if he read half of what i say on here specially about his mother :o:o:o )


    EDITED TO ADD... Sarah just started crying and X has just said "you stay here... i'll go up and settle her".... theres defiantely something wrong......

    Glad he has sorted dudette and hope she is happy...

    I think I'd be waiting for the punchline to his behaviour.. he has either DONE something, DOING something or WANTS something... and I have a good idea which 2 directions that could go in.. either way I'd pack for him TODAY!

    Is it supposed to actually get better post-pregnancy then?:confused: My last one was born nearly 4 years ago and I don't think my brain has recovered yet :D:rotfl:. Actually I used to be a member of Mensa, but I don't think I'd get anywhere near qualifying for that these days. :rolleyes:

    I qualify for MENCAP is that the same as MENSA? :p

    Morning all.
    As usual today is off to town for DS class, then do a few things in town before coming home. Hopefully get a chance to tackle some of the list in the afternoon before dinner, as dinner all cooked already. If not then it will be a shortened list- but fridge needs a wee wipe certainly!
    Take care all now.

    Skiving off college as I really don't think I could manage to get myself there and back and actually be out of the house for 4 hours without a) a change of clothes and b) another batch of drugs down my neck!

    Brrrrrrrrrr it's cold out there today, both kids went to school with their hoods up

    Apparently it's "not cool" :confused: to wear coats at my DD1's school, so they all stand waiting for the school bus with their skin as blue as their school shirts!:rotfl:. They do have blazers, but still, it's not the same is it? Maybe I'm just getting old and feeling the cold more? :confused::rotfl:

    Am I the only incurable romantic on this thread then? :confused: Maybe he's seen what a complete a*s he's been and is trying, in his own way, to get back into the relationship. It does take men some time to adjust to not being numero uno in their woman's life, and maybe he's realised that he doesn't want to let it all go now.

    I think most secondary schools are the same.. mine are not allowed out the door without coats on!! AND I got them t-shirts to wear as vests uder their polo shirts which the school tell them off for doing!! And they wear jumpers which they aren't meant to do AND I am such a rebel they wear hats and gloves and scarves too!!
