    Oh Skint - hope things pick up soon. I know that sinking "got to go to work" feeling too well

    Mhagster - fingers crossed for a speedy recovery

    So today's

    1. Took my marking to Leeds on the train. Made a good start on it. Leeds has a beautiful city centre - who knew?
    2. Was naughty and indulged in the "White Stuff" sale. I lurrve White Stuff.
    3. Had funny facebook times with colleagues. Who knew "Winnie the Pooh" quotes could be so entertaining? My favourite - to an abusive colleague (:D only in a fun way) was "Same to you, said Pooh, and twice on Thursdays" :rotfl: Everything she came up with to diss the Pooh, I found an appropriate quote.
    4. Found about a dozen old crisp packets down the side of the sofa - guilty DS was made to hoover the lounge - another bite of my cleaning elephant. 2 rooms left and DD has tidied hers so I now have to get her to clean it. It was his punishment to hoover, but he enjoyed it - so I might make him do it again :p.
    5. Whoopsied Strawberries with DD's brownies and cream for pud.

    More train marking tomorrow with a visit to dad.
    I wanna be in the room where it happens

    1.I washed my trainers, a strange pleasure but they are at the end of their very long life, and they survived the washing machine so they live a bit longer. Feeling adventurous, I then washed the floor length curtains, they also survived I’m impressed – maybe easily pleased.:rotfl:
    2.I’m not sure not shopping for ages was cost effective as we spent £90 at Asda!:eek: But we restocked the freezer with an incredibly lucky meat haul where all items were 10p, I feel so incredibly lucky when we do that.:o
    3.We are heading off in “the caravan of love” on Saturday, hoping for some good weather and hoping to keep costs very under control by some bbqing (taking some of the Asda Meat from the above pleasure)
    4. Made my first ever burgers from scratch, with 10p mince, HG chives and an Egg, practicing for BBQ food, they were ok but a bit bland, I'm not really a burger fan:o

    5. Yet more cleaning and tidying, I guess I’m proper spring cleaning as it’s loads to get through, pleasure knowing it’s done.

    Hope everything is going OK, MHagster.

    Try and think of some pleasures for yesterday.

    1) Had my hair cut at the local college. Price rise - now £3!

    2) Popped into Sainsburys so am stocked up now.

    3) Wednesday's tea warmed up for my lunch.

    4) Made a big shepherd's pie.

    5) Sons quite happy.

    6) Nearly forgot! Bigger son's parent evening. 5c for maths, 5b for reading and writing. :-) So all OK and the teacher gets on with him despite the pranks he plays. :-) She particularly liked when he and his friends came out of the toilets having marker penned beards and moustaches on themselves and when he chained himself to his friend and dropped the key down the drain...

    More weirdness with OH (it can't all be me, surely?) Didn't see him for a week and a half over Easter and he's been altogether weird and off hand. Saw him Monday then he was working away. On Wednesday night, some woman posted a dodgy photo of him on FB. This was at a rugby tour he was at the other weekend when he described himself as drunk and "silly". Anyway, I was a bit non-plussed by the photo of he and this woman and didn't really like the comments his friends were putting underneath (which included, and I quote - "ding dong")...

    Smaller son saw it, got very upset and called in bigger son and said "Mr Frith is having an affair". :-/ There was little I could say to dissaude him and I was rather wondering that myself!

    So I texted OH and said smaller son was a bit confused then got an odd text back saying he hadn't told me he had slept with someone because he hadn't. (?) Then silence.

    So OH came round after work last night. Nothing was said about the photo. He gave sons some chocolate, they said thank you, put the chocolate down on the table and quietly walked out. OH completely oblivious. He then went to sleep on the sofa.

    I put sons to bed and smaller son said "Have you asked him about the photo?" I said I had asked him about it the day before and it was fine (although I didn't really think it fine!) Bigger son then piped up "But it's OK to have an affair when you are away on a trip, isn't it?" so we had quite a firm talk about that!

    OH continued to sleep (a bit annoying as I'd only seem him once in the last fortnight) so in the end I went to bed and fell asleep. He came up midnight-ish and completely ignored me, moving right over to the other side of the bed etc.

    This morning he got up to go to work and said nothing, just walked off and came downstairs. So I followed him down but couldn't think of anything to say. :-( Then he said "see you tomorrow" and I thought "Oh, am I? Am I not seeing you tonight?" but I never say anything. Then he did a bit more glaring and then ignoring me then said he didn't know what he'd done (how about 12 hours of ignoring me?!) then he walked out.

    Then something made me say "Can I have your key back, please?" so he gave me back the key to my house. He asked if he should go and get his stuff (2 t shirts in a drawer) and I said no and he just walked off.

    Frith - Oh no ! Sounds like the elephant in the room is that your OH hasn't tried to explain, reassure or 'fess up if anything had occurred ! It might be nothing at all apart from grown men getting squiffy and acting like small boys . Not sure how he would feel if the tables were turned and it was you in a dodgy photo with another chap though?

    I know that you were a bit surprised (as I would be) that his ex was in the next apartment on this rugby tour . She may be well into rugby as he is, and this would make it seem more likely that they may end up in the same place at the same time .

    I went out with a rugby player and have an inkling of the err.... post match antics which tbh were harmless .

    Tell him you are hurt and that your sons found the photo inappropriate and that alone should surely warrant an explanation ?
    Good luck Frith xxx ( tell me to mind my own business if you like )
