    Hi everyone

    Hope your all ok. Not posted so far this wk. Have lurked a bit so have been here in spirit....

    Star for Tuesday please Toots.

    Absolutely nothing done today whatsoever, as i've had a virtual slanging match online with SIL from hell. Loooooong story, but basically her and my MIL treat my DH like dirt. I'm normally a very placid person but stuff she put on FB is just purely for stirring and I got so wound up I dished out some home truths. Prob not the best thing to do and I sort of regret it now for my DHs sake. Now I just feel like crying, cos MIL has sent DH a horrible email saying she wants nothing more to do with him.... :mad:

    Thank you for letting me get this off my chest. I may fly later and try to finish the master BR.

    Now I am crying. I only posted this to take my mind of it :mad:

    ((hugs)) Choccybix - Don't cry, they sound like meanies! :A

    Choccybix....the fact that MIL sent an email to DH saying she doesn't want to see HIM after it was YOU that had words with her just says a lot about the kind of person that she is.

    Sounds like DD2 has just woken up so there goes my 10 minutes thread catch up!
