Kids room to level three done, and bathroom mostly done - kitchen needs serious work been used as a junk room since we moved in (its one of the rooms that we didn't decorate as we're getting a new kitchen in a year or two along with the bathroom).
Anyway until I get on top of things I will be only posting so... Hello to you all, hope you are all good .... got to dash as OH is in the kitchen giving his sister a lesson in how to use a drill:eek:.....0 -
....So he was too busy earlier to give me a kiss and say happy anniversary and now, when he's working 10 minutes drive away and when he came home for lunch monday, and tuesday - when TODAY is our anniversary - he's not coming back and doesn't know what time he'll be back tonight, which is why he didn't want to go for a meal.
Get your sexy gear on and a long coat,:D and get round to his works, 10mins away is not that far, even if you walk, and REMIND him what would have been waiting for him at lunch time.......................may be he just needs a gentle nudge as to what day it is!Breast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100 / 100miles

I know that feeling lol.. it won't help the situation but it makes you feel better
If the person is not in that line of work can you be certain their info is 100% correct though?
I'd mention it to the school.. they need to be extra vigilant of dirty old men at bedroom windows.. (we had a neighbour when DS1 was very small, used to partake in 'self pleasure' in the bedroom window... that soon stopped..)
our school is overlooked by Victorian houses - most of which have been turned into flats.
Stood in the playground one day 2 of us noticed a bloke draw his curtains back - stark B*****k naked! The head went round to 'have a word'...:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
I've been playing all those cd's that he hates... very loudly!!!
3 Colours Red, Muse, Feeder, Idlewild, Hell is for Heroes, and in a bit there will be some Terrorvision - just such a shame I have no tequila to go with it.
Anyway, the loud music helped - my fridge is all cleaned out now!And I can't hear the elephants stomping about in the upstairs flat
Wonder if I can do a binbag dance in his tool cupboard :think:

Get your sexy gear on and a long coat,:D and get round to his works, 10mins away is not that far, even if you walk, and REMIND him what would have been waiting for him at lunch time.......................may be he just needs a gentle nudge as to what day it is!
He already knows what day it is - he left an anniversary card before bogging off for the day without saying a word to me other than snapping at me coz I was waiting for a flipping kiss. I seriously am not in the slightly way inclined to anything saucy now.
Seriously tempted to throw all the cards in the bin, rather than wait for him to come back to open them - cept I know at least one has vouchers
I mean honestly, what part of his brain thought that TODAY would be a good day NOT to come home for lunch, not to tell me he wasn't going to come home for lunch, and not to bother even kissing me goodbye????? :mad:working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?0 -

Been round my friends house this afternoon, who's DD was in that house, and we havent heard anything else today. It feels so wrong to sit back and do nothing, so we're trying to decide what to do next. I think we're going down the route of anonymous tip-off to the police. Thank you all for the advice given today. It has helped so much xx
