Toottifrootti I am with you with the bed covers , have a few sets and OH asked why I don't put another set on instead of waiting for the other one to wash and dry, and all I could say was "I like these ones!!)...

I'm the same. I have my wonderful egyptian cotton gazillion threads to the inch duvet cover, pillow covers and base sheet. I can't get on with any others so they get washed, dried and put back on all in the same day! I really must start looking out for a replacement pair. They're bound to start wearing thin soon...

Right well have done the childrens sheets etc and have done the WM, DW and noe have the towels etc in the TD.

|DH has been round to see the children but as I was a little tearful has said he couldn't handle it and has gone back home. He was looking really smart and I was finding it hard but I don't think he understand and now I seem to be taking it out on the children by yelling at them.

Sorry.

mumofjust2 awh hugs angel - it must be hard for you - dont yell at the kids - come on here and yell at us instead! we can take it and it will make you feel better too! why dont you try to go out when he is round so that you dont have to see so much of him - maybe go do some food shopping or or go next door to a neighbour??
hellsbells WTG - very very very very very very very nice brother - thats one less worry for you! hope your poor bum gets easier soon! instead of a hug i am sending you a virtual soft squishy cushion to sit on!!:rotfl:

Thanks Toots. I know that I shouldn't yell at them. i think that it upsets me that DS doesn't even seem fussed by it.

Did go round my mum but she was busy having her dinner so had to come home. hope in time I find it easier just at the moment I wonder if we are doing the wrong thing although we didn't seem to get on when we were together .

but I see you havent 'thanked' the post so I am guessing you never read it - so i didnt miss you after all - yes it is time consuming reading and checking but i took the job on and I try to be good at keeping the star chart but its inevitable that i will make mistakes.
I have given you a star for today and I am now going to pm you a link to this post (I hope) in case you dont read this post either:rotfl:

honey you will have days like that - and Ds probably doesnt really understand the consquences of it all and children often take things in their stride far better than us adults! we worry too much:rotfl: next time you need to have an alternative escape route planned just in case your Mum is busy!
Only you and Ex OH can decide if its right or not. It is early days so dont be tooo hard on yourself - i think some medicinal chocolate (drool) is in order!!! and a nice cup of tea in front of the telly!!!

Yes, I'm contemplating doing that - if I can only get her to lie on her back with her chin in the air when the camera's about!:rotfl:

ETA but she's avoiding me at the moment - she hates going to the vet! She's fine in the waiting room but as soon as we're called, she sits down and has to be dragged int...

Gave myself a day off yesterday so I have lots of catching up to do. My Mum picked us up in the morning and drove us to my cousins house (via my Grandads) so Izzy could meet her great-grandad plus my cousin and her two little ones. None of us had met her youngest, who is 6 weeks older than Izzy, so it was great fun. Izzy was a bit overwhelmed with all the noise of a boistrous toddler though, and didn't sleep much all day, so from when we got back (about 5pm yesterday afternoon) till about 7am this morning she was asleep for 2 hours, awake for a feed but then fell asleep again before eating enough, so awake again 2 hours later. Poor girl.

This morning we went off to sing songs at the library, and we both had a nap this afternoon. didn't get started till 4pm. Never mind, there is always tomorrow!
