Daily chat thread 15th May 'oh noes ma OH is away today :('

Doomcow

well, OH is offski to NI then :rolleyes: hectic day scheduled at work and to cap it off, the cupboards are bare so i need to go do a shopping also (cats out of food too).

Again didnt do the morning jog i promised myself, but the weather is somewhat awful so not too bothered.

Woken delightfully 10mins before the alarm by my little cat too

Plan for today: be good! and my reward is a nice cold fosters, some hot dogs an home made big chips + beans for dinner and some Rome.

Hope we all has a good day today!

Morning!

I could strangle my mum, I really could. :mad: I'm driving to hers later today and I was fine about it until she texted this morning to say there's a severe weather warning for heavy rain and thunderstorms up near her. Now I'm scared to death. I'm going to do it anyway because I don't want to turn into her. Nearly every single detail of her life is governed by the weather. She'll go to work if it's bad weather, because she has to, but she won't drive voluntarily in bad weather. And she has no idea how upsetting it is for other people. She hasn't visited me in Bath since late Sept/early Oct, I always have to go to hers. And I can't afford the train anymore so now I have to drive it or I can't see her at all.

I'll be fine once I get set off, I'm just scared right now and it's her fault. I wouldn't have even known about the weather until I got to it and then I'd have just gone straight through it because it'd be too late to turn back. Now I'm worried about just setting off. But I have to do it, or I won't get to see my mum.

I won't have any internet until Mon so I won't be back on here until then. But I'll let you know when I get back. Talk soon.

morning peeps!

kayleigh, you'll be fine.. with a bit of luck you'll not encounter any of the bad weather...

Doomcow - you make me larf!!

morning all who follow........


I am mostly a bit pee'd off today at Big G.... it's a runchum rachels husbands 40th surprise party this weekend, being held by another mutual friend, and the biggest surprise is that Big G had agreed to go....... amazing, i know!! Erin was coming too, so i was actually really looking forward to it....

anyway he tells me last night that he's "been invited over to his mates on saturday and is that okay?" (remember this part, it's important!)... i said "errr, no, we're going to this 40th.... maybe do it friday or sunday?"

"Oh no, i can't do that, it's all planned..."

"Well why fricking ask me if it's okay?!?!?! If it's a fait accompli?!!"

We never go out together, ever, and i know rachel was really pleased we were gonna be there, and that her hubby will be chuffed if Big G was there.... he's kinda famous for not being the most sociable bloke ever...

I am so mad!

Question is, i really don't want to go without him as going without him is more obvious he doesn't give a shiit than if me n Erin just don't bother going at all.... i'd be embarrased to field questions all night about where is he....

I'm so annoyed to be put in this position...again! it's like living with the grinch! in fact, it's like being a single parent...... (to which i know some of you can relate...)

Good morning.
Tipping it down here.

Kayleigh - don't worry, just get going and be comfortable in your own abilities. My Mum skidded in snow now and won't go out at all if it is forecast - even if it's for Scotland!

:grouphug: Maz. Sometimes I am glad I'm single. Go and enjoy yourself - probably your friends understand better than you think. The important thing is not to miss out on a life yourself because of him.

Thanks bookie - i'm sure you're right..... it just feels like publicly saying that i'm in a "lesser relationship" than normal people who do things together... and i think it's like he's snubbed the people holding the party, rachel and her husband... i'm embarrassed...

Sorry for coming on here and moaning, i generally don't come on here with personal moans about Graham cause it's not fair, but i am fizzing, and i don't know if i'm being unreasonable.....

and i can't force him to go, cause he'd just dig his heels in and not go.... so if i don't make an issue of it then it's shiit but it doesn't affect everything else....

I know Rachel will get back to me saying if it were her, she would just tell her husband he was going, and he'd go, but Graham isn't that obedient..... or henpecked!

No, I'm in Bath, she's in Warrington. I'm nearly packed now and starting to get scared again. I know I'll be ok, I just have to take it steady. Thanks to everyone who's wished me luck. I don't think I'll be back on again today so I'll talk to you all on Mon. Bye for now.
Kayleigh

whatatwit

Kayleigh, you'll be fine.
Yes, it's raining, I'm a wee bit further north than Warrington, but if you take it steady and stick to a speed you are comfortable at, it will be ok.

Have you got a road map, in case you decide to come off the motorway, although the A6 is always a safe bet for getting North.

I've sent you a PM.

You have a right to be :mad: Maz and it's better to share it here than bottle it up or let it effect Erin.
I used to miss out on loads of stuff cos my ex refused to go. When we split up I read a book which said never to refuse any invitations for a good few months or people will stop asking you. I wore myself out but people then knew that I wanted to be invited but occassionally needed a night in! It was hard but I did it even though I am not very outgoing.
I guess what I am trying to say very badly is - don't opt out of being with your friends. They will understand and will look after you. (I bet Erin is looking forward to it too).

Bookie will now mind her own business.
