    blimey spud......weirdly I've been trying to work out when it was for ages. I kept thinking May, then no, because it wasn't near my birthday, then March, but no, then I suddenly just remembered today it was near Jinky's birthday and that's February.

    For some reason I always get Manchester and Leeds last year mixed up - too many cities and too many Wetherspoons - I can't be doing this big metropolis thing anymore :rotfl:

    What you mean is, when you've seen one weatherspoons, you've seen them all!!! Glasgow was a weatherspoons too!

    At least Leeds (the 2nd coming!) was a Nando's!! and travelodge bar!

    Bun, how on earth does he think you are ICE WOMAN. !!!!!!! I too think its just excuses....

    I find this one so hard to talk about with you in the virtual world. I would find what you are going through quite degrading....knock on effect on confidence etc etc....if he won't think about counselling I don't know where you would go from here.

    Afternoon ladies and gents!
    I was up until 3am this morning - I've started taking some meds that have screwed with my sleep; I was wide awake and kept waking Mr SS with my tapping...whoops! I'm sure I'll collapse by about 8pm.

    I've just done a few chores today, ironing and such like, and I'm about to pop down to the local college to pick up an application form to start training to be a nurse...eeek.

    May I be so rude as to ask my friends to look over my post on page 2 re. DH...

    (sorry, Bunny is sad :()

    Babes, I don't know what to say. I do agree with Maz though, he must be the one with the problem.

    I also spend a little less time on the evenings now just to keep the peace, and it has started to work, we are now on speaking terms in our house, so it might be worth just a wee try, just for a short while to see if that placates him. Sending big hugs hun x

    I do get 'me' time, its not as if I don't look after myself, but running is just one more to add to the melting point. I can't leave Chloe on her own, both DD2 and DD3 work and OH works non stop.

    I am already signed up for a half marathon in September - I am in two minds as to not do it...I will decide in the next couple of weeks when things have maybe calmed down a little bit.

    running isn't becoming a chore....getting out to do it is...

    Babes you can only make the decision, but if you really want to do it and need Chloe minding while you're running, I can pop up and keep an eye on her, I'm guessing it's the Nottingham one you're doing, that's only about an hour up the M1 for me,so I'm here if needed x
