    Summermoon hugs and I hope it gets better soon, have you seen your GP about the depression?
    FFP - it's nice to see you again, hope you are okay, and I bet your DS will be great!
    Fedup - lots of hugs still hun, I'm glad you're managing to keep your mind off things.
    Kaz I'm soooo pleased that your OH has kept his job! Yay!!
    Toots thanks for the advice, I rang my auntie and she was lovely as usual, said some really nice things, so I feel a bit calmer now.

    I have now rang the taxi, they have definitely got our booking, and I have a back-up number for a different firm just in case. Boyf has sorted his clohthes, I've told him anything not on the bed will not be packed, and he paid for dinner so I'm going to do the washing up in a few minutes, then I can put the basils in the sink.

    Love to all

    Flitting in and out - I'm so tired. It was stormy today, and I've had a headache all day. I rarely take paracteamol, but had to take extra at lunchtime.

    Hugs to kaz and heroh.

    Off to wash up before I fall asleep on the keyboard... (that's the relevant flying bit...;))

    DS2's 15th birthday tomorrow!!!

    SummerMoon,

    Poor you having to put up with this. Will he share a list with you if you write it down? If not will he cook tea and wash up for you as compensation? Or will he do a HHC and see how much you can get done in half an hour and then it might even be done for the day!

    Otherwise I would tell him to g*t st*ff*ed as it is not just a woman's job to clean the house and make it clean.

    I too have felt the depressive thoughts reappear a bit and found doing a HHCx4 helped me focus on something else for a while and not dwell on how I felt.

    Thanx hun, have done lists.....he whinges if there is more than 3 things on it, or if it invovles anything more than washing dishes ad putting the WM on.
    HHC..... no chance, he can just about drag himselve off his backside to go to the loo or put the kids to bed.
    Have come seriously close to telling him to get st*ffed on a number of occasions, but that would be cutting my nose off to spite my face!! Cos he STILL wouldnt do anything!!!

    Anyone know anywhere that does male obedience lessons hehe.
    I'll think of something, think a rota of some sort, and put up with the whinging until he gets used to it. Really cant go on like this for much longer!!!

    Payback, thanx for the book ideas and the site, will definately check those out. I was on meds until about 6 months ago, may have to go back on them if things dont improve. Normally I am fine, just everynow and again things start to !!!! me off. Will see how things go!

    Thanx for the hugs everyone.

    Kazm I am so pleased for you both, not quite the outcome you wanted but a positive one all the same, hugs from me.

    Just back from the cub run, both are in bed so I shall fold the last load from the TD and then open a can of guinness :D

    Summer have you tried a bit psychology on him? The OTT praise when he does do something or the drip drip feed of ideas to him? Some of these things can take time to filter through into their brains but can have the desired result ;)

    Oh dear, there are a couple of down people today. I wonder how we'd do a virtual conga to cheer ourselves up albeit for two minutes?

    Hugs to everyone. Summer - have you thought about withholding 'privileges' ;)
