Back from school run - Was lovely to meet the ladies and babies today:D Thank you 3:A

I am going to be busy trying to list on eBay as I want to raise as much as possible as fast as possible.....I have found my double on a website and it is a really good price, only problem is I don't have the money for another 2mths, doubt it will still be there by then!!! So need to raise as much as possible....as I doubt any of the grandparents will either have the money or if they do, be willing to buy it for me until I get the money I am waiting for.

I'll need to pass on the thortons SM, I just scoffed a galaxy and mars bar egg .....

I'm going into town tonight for drinkypoos, with a mum from the nursery So glad I'm making friends. She's going through a rough time at the moment with her OH, soo think it's a case of her drowning her sorrows a bit. Should be about 20 chicks out.... BEWARE!!

Beccles - It's entirely frustrating with the lazyness OH does, and fair enough I know HE works and I don't, hence why I do 95% of everything, all I expect him to do is put his washing in the basket, plate in the sink etc. He doesn't actually have to do ANY chores. There is a pile of clothes in our bedroom he said he'd help me put away about a week ago, still there!

When his playstation broke again, I told him he could call and deal with it because Im sick of doing everything and he went in a mood, then went and done the dishes, so I would do it for him, he hates talking on the phone.

Fair enough *I* don't work, but that's mainly because 1) Don't need too 2) Can't afford childcare and 3) I can only work nights and I'm not experienced, so waiting for the right thing. I will get a job, when I find one that fits the hours I can do, so probably bar work!

I make sure all the bills are paid, all the food is bought in, meals are cooked, washing is done, clothes are put away (mostly lol) Keira is cared for, dishes etc etc etc. According to him, its easy as with the bills you just set up a direct debit and leave it.

But what if they take money out before your paid etc, he doesn't think of this sort of stuff even though we would probably have the money in the bank to cover that sort of thing happening, it' not the point! If I wasn't watching the bills and amounts, then Specsavers would still be ripping me off £20 a month.

I admit 100% I am lazy, and lack motivation, especially with chores. I will find 10 thousand reasons not to do the dishes, if the sun comes out, then me and Keira will go to the park. CBA with washing plates!

I think your OH really doesn't realise how much you do. I agree with SS, you need to talk to him. Make him live your day and see if it's "Easy" and sitting on your butt!

Think it will just be sausages + mash + fried onions tonight, as I can't be bothered cooking anything complex.

Just popping back in briefly to check on progress, Tara, great news about Poppie's promotion to High Dep already :j :j :j One of Andrew's guardian angels :A is definitely looking after her, because he's doing less chatting to his angels when he's on his own in his cot.

Did the doc not listen to his chest/heart and pull him all about to check reflexes and stuff? They are supposed to check hips and eyes at 6 wk check too. Did they not do a checklist and put a copy in your red book?

Yes, she did. It was useless b/c even though I AM fine, she barely even asked and so the "me" part of the appt was quite pointless.

Aless I think a lot of doctors forget they are meant to be checking mum at 6 weeks too. I know I had to ask questions to get mine to remember about me.

Now I'm catching up a bit - huggles to BM and Beccles. Not sure what to suggest, but we have a rule that if it isn't in the washing basket it doesn't get washed. Also any question that starts "why haven't you...."tends to be answered by "why didn't you do it yourself?". My DH is lots better than he used to be - he has no ability to use his initiative (most of the time anyway) but if I ask him to do something specific he will normally (eventually!) do it. What annoys me is that he will sit in front of the tv for 40 mins first, during which time I've done everything else because it all needs doing NOW/before I can make tea/go to bed, then once he has done the first thing either I've done all the other things myself I was going to ask for help with, or he sits down again and if I ask him to do something else it is another 40 mins again! He does have days where there is a whirlwind of clearing up, but he has more of a "sweep it under the carpet" approach to things, so I still end up having to go round after him moving everything from the cupboards/shelves he has plonked them in and put them away (or in the bin!)

My day has went down the crapper. DH job isn't safe anymore due to them loosing a bus contract and him not being 'senior' (been there long enough) to guarantee a shift (plus he messed up last week, well, sorta but not his fault, so still awaiting disaplinery for that too) and he also had an expensive fag, in the stance so got a nice £30 fine. He's paying that out his own pocketmoney!! !!!!!! that he is!

And Amber has been stolen and replaced by that ugly screamy baby again. DS2 insists he is ill ( nowt wrong with him lazy lil !!!!!!) so is still running about in a jammie top and no nappy or pants. I've no cornbflour and messed up the rue for lasagne so its in the ovem with a splash of milk and cheese !!!! it, !!!! it all I say!

Tia what a day. I prescribe a nice big glass of wine this evening. And maybe a bath. You could even drink the wine in the bath if you are feeling posh
