I see I caused a bit of confusion so let me clarify that I was only saying 'I will shut up' to pigpen as she had ignored my post as I knew she would:p Do not think for one minute that I will shut up where the rest of you lazy good for nothings are concerned ( well with 1 or 2 exceptions) I will still be nagging away in my usual annoying manner!!:p:rotfl:

Well of course - we need you to nag (and encourage and support)

Good news I have finally managed to enrol for the second year of my MA...I guess I have no excuse not to study now.

Even better news...I have been waiting on a promotion for 3 months and had a call from my boss this afternoon to say it is finally happening and will be back-dated to 1st September It is a temporary paid thing for now and will be official from 31/03/10 (the promotion date for our military branch)

One can always find excuses not to study
Well done on the promotion :T:T:T

HI- thanju everyone for support.
OH told me 'its your loss' went and packed the wii and golf clubs in the car. He has packed all his clothes & then has just told me if I change he will stay.. I dnt want him to go but he just keeps doing the same things. He was being so lovely a few days ago. Hes just gone to get DS frm school disco..

carlsberggal

grateful - thank you my darling, once he comes downstaurs again with steam coming out of his ears I will pm you the equations x

Princesslou - don't know what to say to you my lovely, we all have different things we want in life. You HAVE to show him what you want/expect and I'm afraid let him decide you CAN'T change him. I had this with XH for years and years, just ended up making each other miserable. PLEASE think about you for a change - not you at the bottom of the list as us mum's/wives etc usually put ourselves xx

I think you need to give us a bit more context before we can venture an opinion...

Rosepink remember that your post office may be shut due to strike action-although I know that mine is indeed open as I had mail today and a parcel would have been delivered to if I had been in :rolleyes: Greenbee Royal Mail have got people to cover the people on strike. i don't know if this is all areas or not though

Thanks, good point. I will check it out

Plod on with decluttering area by tv and front door

I’ve also: gone to village – library, repeat prescription, market, coop.

LIGHTBOX - must must must do this, please all shout at me to make sure I have it on
Clean the loo

Rosieben great news! Hurrah!

Good on ya Valli, he will soon learn! At least he’s got step 1: put the clothes in the wash basket. Now all he needs is step 2: allow enough time for them to be washed and dried before they are needed next!

Jassa have a good time away

Hugs Princess Lou xx

Big hugs Lady Liberty

Hang on, YOU need to change? It reminds me of men who hit women and say: "It's your fault I hit you, you make me angry."
If he's threatening you and making your life miserable, then it's really not worth it. You deserve to be with someone who makes your life happy, not someone who scares you or is nasty to you. I think you have done the right thing in asking him to leave.

Hi all

I've been very slack this week...seems to be the way things are at the moment! I will catch up eventually. I'm keeping on top of the washing and S&Sing and the place is tidyish but it needs a good going over! Work is busy (but good!) at the moment so I'm concentrating on that.

I'm just about to put a load of washing in and have a shower. Might also dye my hair as i have some dye and just fancy doing it! It's only a semi permanent so ok if I don't like it!

can someone pm/facebook/email me about the plan for Saturday, I'll make it if I can but I might not know til tomorrow night. DH is studying so hard at the moment that I want to be able to say yes we can go out if he wants to.
