My children are adults and responsible for their own rooms and laundry so I have deleted the jobs that don't apply.

Happy New Year everyone. :T

LL (feel free to shoot me down in flames) but can Macmillan or someone give KH some counselling or tell him where to go?...maybe he's angry and taking it out on you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers (not that it helps but you are x)

Thanks Valli I appreciate all suggestions & that's a good one.......sadly it goes a lot deeper than that

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!

What is it with OHs at the moment ,mine really lost his temper again last night,instead of trying to smooth things over ...I gave him a piece of my mind...believe me this has been a long time coming.

He was basically told to get over it or get out.

I was up at 4am reading the thread as have a terrible cold and couldnt sleep so will be fluttering rather than flying today....why does a simple cold always go straight to my chest???
I was going to post last night but Little D woke up ( I babysat last night as DD1 went to a friends house party)...the little tyke didnt go to sleep till 1.30am and she hadnt slept all day either...she is only 5 months old...Im sure she has read the wrong
baby books that one.

So far I have
WMx1
TDx1

Made up 3 bottles
Cleared pop and beer bottles from last night

Need to empty DW next

Love to all xx

Morning lovely ladies

have not been up long - theres a surprise! We had fireworks going off here from about 9 o clock so it wasnt quiet at all. When I did get into bed it was a disturbed night as of course the texts started coming in and then DS phoned at 10 past midnight, my first thought was oh dear whats gone wrong but it was just to wish me happy new year, its so sweet that he thinks of me in the middle of his party but he's home later today! I then woke up around 3 with a full moon shining on me through our velux window which we have never got blinds for - think that might have to change and then I got up at six to take pain killers for the headache Ive had since Tuesday :mad:

Kaz - hoping you DH has a safe night but I guess he'll be busy.

He was, the full 12 hour shift without a break and most of the jobs he had to do, he had a 25 to 30 mile run to. No wonder they cannot make the response times. Then the stupid management have 'spare capacity' today so they have put 4 vehicles on at the local station on what is usually the quietest day of the year, errr common sense says if they're spare you put them on the busiest night, not the quietest day which also happens to be a bank holiday requiring pay at double time :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Had a !!!!!! start to the year - DH and I were really honest with each other last night. We chatted when we went to bed and I told him that I love him but if it weren't for the children I wasn't sure if we'd still be together. He told me the same thing

Great huh

Oh dear, sorry to be down

Hugs mumof2. At least you have been honest with each other and can now make a start on working things out. I wish you all the best x

Well I've munched my breakfast and downed 2 mugs, now going to see if my slammer shower gel 'does what it says on the tin' then I guess i etter prepare myself for collecting DD from her friends.

Massive hugs to everyone else who needs them (esp LadyLib)
