    Well thats the thing...........OH just doesnt know what to do so he just sort of scuttles off into another room until I am all smiley again.

    That sounds awful as he is a good bloke, just doesnt know how to deal with emotions at all.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I doubt he will ever change but sometimes I just feel like I want to be the one being looked after for once...........it did happen once......





    I had pneumonia and a collapsed lung and was coughing up blood at the time though:rotfl:

    Aww hugs from me too Lou. You have a lot on your plate at the moment - glad you can come on here and get stuff off your chest. XX

    You sound like a strong person who can cope with most things that get thrown at her.As soon as the dreaded exams are over you will be able to have more me time which will make you feel better.

    Personal taxation can be made more interesting by pretending you have won the lottery and need to know how to minimise tax, set up your own business (getting someone to run it for you of course) or set up a trust fund for your children. Although with the last one I'd get distracted trying to plan the best age for them to inherit, 18 would be too young as they'd blow the lot but it would seem rather mean watching them struggle to 30.

    Ahhh I will be fine, just having a bit whinge, this is the only place that takes a blind bit of notice to my troubles.

    You see I am the one who can handle anything, who everyone else leans on, who asks for no help from anyone like I would get it anyway if I asked.
