    - hope you have a great time at the cinema! Men! :mad:

    Is it me? :confused: DS made dinner while I was sorting papers. We sat down to eat at 6.10, DD came in at 6.20, ate dinner. We got ready to go out. Collected skirt from friend for DD, dropped DS at college for guitar at 7, dropped DD at TAC, came home, by which time OH had got in from work. I was sitting in the lounge having major breathing problems when DD called coz she'd forgotten her purse. I took it to her, came home and asked OH if he would get my nebuliser, in a grey bag, in the cupboard under the fish tank. He brought me a cable that had been sitting on the top of the tank and felt justified in swearing at me when I told him to hurry up and get the nebuliser!:mad: Then he started complaining as no one had cleared up, so he went and banged around in the kitchen for a while. I sat and used my nebuliser, then when he came in and sat down (bringing me a cup of tea), I let him have it with both barrels! :D I said next time he didn't listen when I told him where the nebuliser was he could just called the paramedics and let them cart me off in the ambulance!:eek:
    I also clarified how little time we had to clear up before people needed to be at various locations. It makes me angry because, when he has a meeting for ACF, he bangs around if dinner isn't ready when he gets in from work, even if he gets home before me, then dashes out without even taking his dishes off the table, so he can't expect the kids to be any different.

    Mmmm, think i'm having mini hot flushes. I know they're not the real, full blown ones but every so often I feel someone is putting warm water through my veins. It isn't actually an unpleasant feeling.

    My flying today -
    opened three cards and threw the envelopes away
    sorted out my medication
    gave magazines to my mum

    That's it xx

    Missed it, but don't think I'll ever understand mutations! :confused:

    Anyway, I feel like cr*p so am going to have an early night.

    Goodnight, God bless. x

    awh (((hugs) pink - glad you told him straight what had happened - it seems to me that he is not giving you support right now - you are not well and should not be doing half of what you are!!!
    hope you feel better in the morning after a good rest.

    toots - cant believe your still awake at this time due to your early start,

    This evening I have wrapped more pressies and made some choc crispy tray bake, sorted out a couple of wash loads, swapped credit cards onto a 16mth int free one, made a couple of phone calls and finished off the kitchen.

    i will put a list together in the morning once I decide what I am doing (weather dependent on a few bitsnbobs), off to bed with my book now.
