Afternoon all x

Tuscan sausage meal thingy for lunch and then we are having steak and mushrooms and posh potatoes for tea (DS is out with friends - he hates mushrooms!)

Jo, will he go quietly do you think? Is this defo what you want? If you do it now you have to sort out Christmas straight away so you can tell the kids exactly what you are doing over the festive period. Don't leave it until Christmas week or it will just make the stress unbearable for all of you.

If you want to hang on, you still might need to speak to DH about it now and come to some sort of compromise cos you can't sit in separate rooms for the next month. That is going to be miserable for everyone. You need to come up with a coping plan for the next month. Hugs hun, whatever you choose x

Busy here today!

Jo - only you can know what to do for the best. Kids are tougher than you think but obviously only you know whats good for them. I know what I would do, but thats me.

Lovely crumpets for breakfast (snaffled at Mums this morning) followed by a crimbo dinner for lunch at the local Dobbies (courtesy of Dad!:D). not sure whats for tea. Piglet out at the out-laws so may just be pizzas.

Sparkles, that's a bit organised, did you think you'd posted on the OS board by mistake :rotfl:

We'll see how it goes, OH been a total twot today and I told him so, he said he was going to make an effort to change stuff but he clearly isn't, so we'll have to see how far he digs his grave this weekend. I think it's best all round to wait till after xmas, I'll keep noting incidents :cool:

OH off out about 6pm so nice tea tonight....what shall I have :think:

ETA: Lurks, lavvies need cleaning

Have a good night in Jo

(and don't forget to leave him the washing up!)

jo1972

He has NEVER washed a plate up in his entire life....

penelopedee_2

Perhaps that's the first change then ......

Says me who's lived with someone for 15 years who has never touched the vacuum or washing machine :eek:

maman

Have a great night in jo. I'm not sure what he means by trying to change things???

Supermarket was manic, queuing for car park, queues down the aisles to pay!! I think everyone who normally shops on Thursdays and Fridays had left it to today because of snow. Luckily plenty of fresh stuff available, all except brocclli but we can live for a week without that!

Yet another meal out MissP:D, only last week you told us there was no more high life until Christmas.

Gammon, roasted mediterranean veg and jackets tonight.

Shame about the lamb sparkles, I lurrve lamb. I'm not going to tease you about your OS ways, I do exactly the same. SC full of lentil soup bubbling away for lunches at the mo.
