Jo - sorry to hear about your day, how scary. I can understand why he would be scared to be by himself, I bet he is glad that he has you to watch out for him.
Mrscmr - OH took our 3 out about 2.30 and is not back yet, he went to the park, then to his mum's and got something to eat out, then bumped into his sister so has gone round her house. He left the bag with the nappies in behind and I told him to buy some more but he hasn't, hopefully it won't burst all over her clothes - what a dork!! He could have popped to the shop while his mum watched the kids in the restaurant.
I've sorted out lots of clothes, done lots of washing, dried it all, found lots more Ebay stuff, haven't got round to sorting my office out yet which I really need to do tonight so I can crack on tomorrow and get stuff listed. Have to finish making the kids beds up now, put all the folded clothes away and put a few more things away. I watched a film this afternoon too while I was sorting and folding clothes. I've really enjoyed the time to myself, why does it go so fast though.Sealed Pot Challenge #0160 -

It happened suddenly. Thank you for your well wishes and sorry for hi-jacking your thread, it wasn't intentional as I was only answering your question were as I normally only read it to see how you and yours are getting on.
Just think of the fun you and your OH will have making up after the rowing is over!:rotfl:

Not really, I would be annoyed too if my OH went to the pub on his birthday and left the rest of us at home. Can you not all go and join him for a quick drink, might do you all good to have a couple of hours 'off'. The debts will still be there tomorrow to worry about. Maybe a couple of drinks will take his mind off things.Sealed Pot Challenge #0160
