    why is it when you think things are going great everything turns?? OH has moaned about us having no money but refuses to eat his tea as he would rather have a take away? he uses money out the bank without telling me leaving us overdrawn and another bank charge, his mob phone bill has doubled and i dont know any of this until i check our accounts. we have had another HUGE argument and i have told him its over. cant keep living like this and even the kids are unhappy with him, strange thing is i dont feel any emotions. im sat here like nothing has happend sorted the kids out done the washing and dishwasher. he is away out and has asked to stay for tonight, i need him to watch the kids tom and now i going to have to ask for reasonable regular hours or quit. bang goes the promotion i have worked so hard for and my marriage all in the space of a few hours.

    this has been on and off for weeks, its like he has given up on everything and just doesnt care.this house is beautiful and he sits most of the day on the comp or at his mums and the place is a tip, i end up coming home to do all the work thats needs doing and sorting the kids out. i do my best with everything spent ages making dinner for him to turn his nose up, he didnt even try it. money is tight but when he spends it on crap and take aways then it runs out fast. i think im at the stage that im fed up trying to make it all work, he doesnt want to sacrifice a thing and its always me and the kids that end up doing without whilst he has weekends to santa pod and london. sorry to vent just not got anyone else to turn to?

    Caz have some ((hugs)) from me too x

    I am well and truly pooped, have spent all afternoon sorting out Daniel's clothes. I have packed the first size, newborn, 0-3 and 3-6 sizes away into vac bags, and then put all the 6-9 size in his main wardrobe. He has far too many clothes for one so young!!

    DH tea for tomorrow is in the slow cooker and just waiting on Daniel finishing his bedtime bottle and being put down so I can order a Chinese :D

    Is it wrong that I have a bit of a crush on Jonathan Creek?

    Ewww, yes, its very wrong. And whats worse is you have admitted it in polite company.
    Be ashamed, be very ashamed.

    Caz, sounds like you need to vent, so vent away hun. Can I offer you a hug, some chocolate cake and I'll do your nails too.

    Feely, vanilla sugar is always a favourite and something most people would use. Can I ask what you use banana butter for?

    My kids are all in bed :D just dishes a little bit of ironing and straighten my hair to do. Nails have been touched up, making the most of them being nice again. When BF I was chewing them non stop, something I haven't done since I was 12. Think I made the right choice stopping, I'm not as possessive of her as I was.
