    OH for the days when my kids just played out... I have pregnant moody maude sitting watching another rerun of friends....'bored' but not bored enough to help me with the ironing. And she has pulled her face because I wouldn't go to asda to get something to cook for her and her boyfriend to eat!!:mad:

    I have the other one who when she asked me what was up and I told her I am fed up cos no one helps around the house said 'well my rooms tidy'

    Thats okay then...innit!:mad:

    Then the OH has just phoned up to tell me about an ominous phone call he has had from contracts manager....(ie he thinks they may not renew his contract after 16th April) but he won't know till tomorrow....when I said could he not have kept it to himself till tomorrow and told me the bad/good news when he actually knew what it was, he has gone into blind panic......so I have to go its okay love everything will be okay...cos if I don't he will have a nervous breakdown....

    Who the hell looks after me...:mad:

    Sorry, I am feeling a bit sorry for myself to tell the truth...

    That's what were all here for Sammy. To provide much needed therapy for each other against the madness that is real life. I swear I'd go barking mad if it wasnt for you lot :cool:

    Hi Spud, I seem to be meeting myself coming backwards.....

    and its not helped by the fact that I appear to have bred bone idle ungrateful children...feel like giving them a slap except one is pregnant and one is likely to smack me one back.......

    The way mine speaks to me is unbelieviable:mad:

    BB~ I know where you are coming from~ the problem of only one income :*(

    Thanks Beanie...its quite tough being a single parent 5 days a week....and then not for 2 days...I can cope on my own, but then I am miss independant....when OH comes home I have to kowtow to his wishes, (and yes I know I don't 'have' to) but tbh its easier to keep the peace....:o
