    thanks for all the nice messages for my granny. She's 93! which is a greaet age. She got home from hospital last thursday and when her home help wen tin on friday morning she'd had a small stroke. She's back in hospital now - and we don't think she'll get home again. My mum is looking at a home for her.....it's a bit wait and see though.

    Well done to all those clever babies. MFD - do you need another employeee?

    I'm still finding things rather tough this end. I've not had any sleep (well a proper sleep) for about 3 weeks with LO's illness/teething/general high jinks. I'm exhausted and things just keep going wrong. Last night OH announced he was going on a night out on saturday. I am out on saturday night with a friend who is coming from London for the occassion. OH was aso invited but as the grandparents and other babysitters are all away/busy/otherwise engaged he was having to stay home and babysit. However, he's now told me I have to cancel as his night is more important apparently. I'm mad. Really mad. I mean - what can I do about it?

    Also He's managed to break 3 of my loveliest EB mugs this week (all accidents caused by him being too lazy to do things properly!) and this morning I discovered my brand new hairstraighteners in bits - they were perfect when I left on thursday - so what has he done to them?! He's not even mentioned an incident involving them to me.

    He'll not bother to replace any of these things - I can't afford to as I have no financial independence and he doesn't understand that I am so careful with my belongings for a reason - I love them! Grrrrrr.

    I'm just feeling that the night out is the last in a large number of straws recently.

    DD just rang, it's not a cyst but a problem in her babys tummy, gonna have an operation. Was sitting with Maddy in my arms so I got upset, can't imagine handing over such a little one for an operation!!!

    you tell your OH to jog on ..... you had your night plan before his so he needs to stop being selfish

    Also He's managed to break 3 of my loveliest EB mugs this week (all accidents caused by him being too lazy to do things properly!) and this morning I discovered my brand new hairstraighteners in bits - they were perfect when I left on thursday - so what has he done to them?!

    ok dont mean to sound rude but this is what my 6 year old does .. breaks then hides it ... and im sure hes not 6

    He'll not bother to replace any of these things - I can't afford to as I have no financial independence and he doesn't understand that I am so careful with my belongings for a reason - I love them! Grrrrrr.

    just because you have no money doesnt give him the right to wreck your things and not replace him ... next time he does it take something that belongs to him .. if philip did that id take his xbox controllers and say "oh love you most of misplaced them"

    I'm just feeling that the night out is the last in a large number of straws recently.

    im not suprised love hes not being fair .. one again if this was me id slap him, put LO on his knee and say bye .. hes got no choice then x
