    So nows it back to the list on here. We now have a whopping eight black bags and broken plastic box to take to the tip. All of which have been dumped by the front door for OH to take to the tip tonight.

    Bedding and OH stripped and washed after Freja pooped on both.. I almost injured myself laughing!

    What I want to know is how you got the OH to change a nappy in the first place!

    froddy WOW! you always do such lovely interesting things - hope you had a great day - thanks for your lovely card xxxx

    I said that for years and years! It is different when its your own dog though....

    I now have one with tiny poops!! ;)

    hello xxJoxx nice to see you honey xx Is that asbo dog you are talking about or have you got a different one now?

    Supergirl hope the hols give you a well needed rest and a boost - is DD1 back to her 'normal' self?
    Winchelsea - thank goodness it was a nice surprise at that time of the morning:eek::rotfl:
    Valli poem is great and w/well sounds fab too - but then I wouldnt have expected anything else from our Valli!
    AnW'sMum glad you are back safe and had a good time.xx
    Holly awh how annoying - another job on the the list for OH!
    LW what a wee cherub Penny is - so cute - you must be building up quite a portfolio of your little guests!
    jue I hope your mouth thaws out quickly - its a very strange feeling.
    Graaaaaaaan hello angel - thanks yes i got your email but couldnt reply - I will soon. Sounds like things are a bit better at your end except for MiL -I will be thinking and praying for her that the op is successful. Its good that you are managing a holiday - you both certainly need the break away from everything at the moment ((((((Hugs)))))))
    Hellyboo huge squishy ((((((((hugs))))))) for starters - I hope today is better for you - I see you have sorted your lappy so thats a good start - as for DH well I can echo what the others have said - you are tidying the house for YOU! it just so happens that he and the children live there too but do it so that you feel happy and content in your surroundings and dont try to do it to someone elses expectations - if it is not good enough for him then tell him to do it himself or get you a cleaner!!!!
    you are not a slave - its not a case of rebelling or being a good girl - you are a lovely person in your own right and sometimes men forget this (I dont have a man ...yet... so feel free to ignore me!!) and they need to be gently reminded you are not a slave, his mother or housekeeper - you are an equal and have afull time job looking after the children so he needs to 'muck in' now and then and help. I am sure he must have had a truly horrid day to act like that but shouldnt take it out on you - when he is calmer maybe you can talk and tell him how upset you were and how you would be happy to listen if he wants to talk about it and get it out of his system?
    dont apologise for ranting - that is the best part of fred - we are all here to listen and support when we can.

    piggers I am glad OH is bonding with his daughter:rotfl:

    didnt have a very good night as my wound was uncomftable and by this morning had leaked all over me and the bed so the bed was stripped and washed - still struggling to get the mattress protector dry as its been wet on and off here.

    DN was very late arriving - she had a bad morning of emergencies so I lost most of my shopping time.
    We did get to Mr M for the bits i had forgotten in my online shopping and dunelm for sheets but that was all - the rest will have to wait until next week now.

    Have been a bit tired this afternoon but trying not to nap so that I might sleep better later.
    need to go and tidy the LR as I am having a visitor in the morning.

    back later
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last

    definitely and well done and (from a harrassed teacher in a school with logo'd uniform so therefore everybody has the same stuff from the same supplier) THANK YOU.

    is having 'poo' flashback almost 17 years to when DS started on one in the hospital on the bed midway through being changed ...and wouldn't stop...:o:o:o:o

    :rotfl::rotfl:i'm still laughing at the thought of your poor OH, saying my eldest when he was a baby did that. My OH was traumatised, he's never seen poo shoot up in the air :rotfl:

    Well the middle room is done! I'm so far up to date with the lists, first time in months for me.
    So the only room which is filthy is ours, so going to have a go at that later.Along with putting away the mounds of dry clothes.

    So chilling with a cuppa then back to the grind stone.
