    Dinner scoffed. Cooked the pots in 2 different oils and got the family to vote on a favourite to add a bit of interest to meal time.

    Did anybody watch WDYTYA? on Monday? Is it worth a 'catchup' with some ironing?

    Just need to phone my mother and then I might clean the bathroom.

    In my HHC, I cleared, cleaned and sorted 2 bookshelves in the spare room, dusted and cleaned the window. This resulted in a little rubbish, a lot of paper to be recycled and some books for the charity shop so I'm counting that as my binbag dance! I then cooked bolognaise and my dinner, and spoke to my dad on the phone!

    well the good news is....I havent been made redundant:j

    the problem is..... I have just cleaned the main bathroom & knocked one of DHs aftershave bottles down the loo (luckily not his favourite) & so far havent been able to get it out.....will have to hope I can do before he gets in!
  • Its been a good day - fun with DS, errands achieved, lots of cleaning jobs knocked off and now DH is home early and is putting DS to bed for me.

    DS wanted a browse of charity shops for books earlier and we found finally some jeans to fit (long skinny streak him) and a GAP fleece - so a whole Gap outfit for less than £4 - brill. :D

    Then a carpet picnic tea prepared by DS for me - in a blanket tent in the lounge. Weird but fun!!

    Off to make some supper for DH & 1, alcofrol and a thai-ish stirfry and then a slob with a DVD.

    laters

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

  • Evening everyone :wave:

    Toots When I try to email you, I'm getting it bounced straight back.

    :j :j :j :j Thankfully the water was only off for a bit, so the disgusting brown water splurting out is now gone! :j :j :j :j :j

    Loud child is now back with her rmummy :j :j :j I know we're all biased about our children, but nonetheless........ I know mine aren't that loud and clumsy. We had a flood of biblical proportions last night when she had a bath. Mouthwash poured all over the floor because she was pouring it out while looking the other way :confused: She crashed into an old lady and nearly took off her feet because she was walking backwards in the shopping centre.... :mad: And the list goes on and on....!! It's really difficult, cos her mum is my best friend, and there's only so much you can say about someone else's child. I have discussed it with her... at length.... but what can I say? We have very different parenting styles! :rolleyes:

    OK re: me and OH..... Just cos I haven't really said 'out loud' what the position is.... there are a few of you that know what's what....
    We've discussed breaking up. I've said it's over. He feels trapped because I don't work, and so he can't afford to buy or rent somewhere else. So I need to get a job so that I can take over the mortgage.

    Things have been really frosty this week. As it's been really sinking in particularly for him. But it's not horrible. He is a pain, but not all the time!!! And I would rather sort myself out financially so things can be as amicable as possible.

    So I'm ok, just cracking on with life, and application forms!! :eek: :eek: :eek: And we'll see what's what. :confused:

    Ok, time to get tired children off to bed. They had a late night last night, so we need to catch up. ;)
