I wouldn't say I'm popular (I'm renowned for calling a spade an effing shovel! And stuff like "what do you mean? Warm and fluffy? I don't DO fluffy - grow up!"! "You know I'm always right!" ) - it's more like I'm too damned good at what I do!

I really don't want to do the split site working... but I suspect I'll have to...

Ah, but that's what makes you popular - they know you will get the job done. My DH is a bit like that - I often wonder how he doesn't get the sack, but they always want him to work with them and the bosses ask for him by name, because they know he won't bullsh!t them and if he says it can't be done, it can't - he can move his machine in places the other guys are too scared of, so they do listen to him and I suppose it makes him feel appreciated - trouble is, like you, he ends up getting the extras and the stuff no-one else wants! fingers crossed they sort something out before it comes to that for you...

lil_me

Flower I'm not that bad, I do text etc a lot, it's just the extra bits, I'd rather have my laptop. I've got a new ish phone, couldn't tell you apart from a Sony E what it is. I just don't think I would use the extra bits, DP has an N96 and it just confuses me, I actually sold the things when they were bricks lol, I sold one of the first Dual Band phones in this country :rotfl: I got a bonus for that! Thanks for asking about the boys, they are asleep now if that counts, no more being sick, refused him any more food and just gave him water which he's kept down fine. I think it's anxiety related, I forget sometimes how bad it effects him as he shows his emotions in a less aggressive way usually, DS1s is always so 'in your face' with his self harming etc. I haven't finished his armour, waiting for his Dad to get in as I'm not doing well at holding and sticking.

As mentioned DP on his way home, I'd done the armour but some has come off, so needs doing properly, well with more hands, just hope we can get it to stay on. Got his other stuff ready. Not going to push him to take it if he doesn't want to and if he does turn out to be poorly (doubtful) he can wear it at home. Think I will let the dogs out for a tiddle now then I can get on with it when DP gets back.

[moan] Just asked X if he could come and get me to go to the xmas fair with him and he jumped down my throat saying that I was going to have a go at him. So I won't be going now. I'm getting so annoyed with him; he keeps being nasty to me and then blaming me, saying it's because I'm going to be nasty to him. He keeps implying that I've got some sort of personality disorder and that I've completely flipped since I've had M.E. But my M.E. is totally seperate to how I am around him. He was a complete ignorant selfish insensitive pr!ck throughout my pregnancy and just after DS was born (and has continued to be so ever since) which is why I no longer want to be with him. My ME didnt start til DS was 9months old. But he has convinced himself that its my M.E. that's sent me insane which has split us up. :rolleyes: He keeps saying he's had to put up with so much from me being nuts. GRRR @ X :mad: I so wish I could move out [/moan]

Hugs Nikki - sounds like you needed to get that all out!!!:D It's a shame about the fair though - is there anyone else you may know who might be going? maybe someone from the nursery?

Take care hun and good luck at the docs...:A

Sorry Lil_me, didn't mean to say you were as bad as hubby - no-one is as bad as him - he does use a computer now, but whoa betide us if it goes wrong - it's everyone elses fault, when usually it's because he has switched off the wifi or something equally as simple - he never checks, just 'puts' it down... :rotfl: :rotfl: it really is quite funny to watch coz you know you are just going to go over and make it work... He's taken the laptop with him while he's away so he can talk to us on MSN - but he forgot the camera!:rolleyes:

Glad the boys seem to be better - fingers crossed for tomorrow for you all and good luck with the armour...:A

Triker

Evening, or is it morning now, .

*Clears throat* ..........Laydeeeeeeeeees and gennelmen, I have an announcement to make, a miracle has occurred, because for the first time EVER, I have sorted some stuff in my kitchen cupboards.;)

A rare event indeed in the Triker household but I have finally tried to get some semblence of order into my newly repaired carousel cupboard. I put all pulses into one basket, cake making stuff into another, sauces and stir fry stuff into another, etc. So I know where they are.;)

I also found 3 tubes of garlic paste.....:o, I could never find it.

Managed to make some Twinks hobnobs, some bread and a banana loaf.

Made tea from freezer, veg curry, and pea's are soaking for the pea and ham soup (ham shank already done in slowcooker) for tomorrows tea.:D

Wiped some cupboard shelves to get rid of sticky bits and cleared up and wiped down worktops and did a bit of re-arranging of the stuff on surfaces.


Right going to attempt to catch up on todays thread, hope you are all well. xx

I've been to the pubic louse.. turned someones gloves outside in and stuffed one inside the other perfectly.. they'll be a bugler to separate.

I have decided the PERFECT vocation for mine self is... a sniper.. I'd be great at it.. and even do a victory dance and woopwoop when I sniped the baddy... OR I want a missile launcher.... so I can scream DIE DIE DIE on impact...

I think I may need my medication again.....
