    Hi all'

    Mag_cats- DO THE BACKSTITCHING AS YOU GO ALONG!! Sorry for the shouting but it is driving me insane:mad:. I finished the main stitching of Tenby Harbour about a week ago, gave up on the backstitching yesterday and started something new. A week of stitching and only done about a quarter of it!!.
    Will post piccies when i've downloaded them.
    Have started a John Clayton one- Autumn Reflections, much better than all that backstitch.

    Only you get caught. Probably make the chicken taste strange too...

    Dare I ask what he's done? Get it out...

    been out with Ben all day so ALL he was asked to do was look after Noah and do 1 machine load of washing and dry it......

    I got in @ 5.30 put the chicken in the oven (he WATCHED me do it).

    sorted out bens tea.

    THEN THEN THEN an hour into cooking the chicken tells me he is going to the pub in 20 minutes. NO apologies. NO cancelling on his mates just f*** OFF!!!!

    Meanwhile I have to put the kids to bed, tidy up etc.

    There is NAFF ALL point me doing a full roast for myself so I may as well have a cheese sandwich.

    Now I have to tidy up bens toys and do the washing up.
    Not to mention DRY the washing out the machine becuase apparently he hasn't even bothered to do that today!!

    Noah has slept all day apparently so guess who is kicking off now cause he doesn't want to go to sleep!!!

    OHHH angry is an understatement.


    PS: this is not relacinign TOMORROW nights pub trip oh no he shall be going out then too - leaving me to do ALL the above for a 2nd night in a row.

    I sware if I could afford to kick him out I would.

    Chicky - you can't affort NOT to kick him out. There is always a way when there is a will. Please speak to people who can help. Go to relate, go to alanon, go to CBA. Even if you don't think you don't deseve better (and you so do), your boys deserve better. Any help I can give just shout. My ex drank but I wouldn't call him alcoholic but what he was (and is) is verbal abuser. There is abuse in many forms and we don't have to put up with it. I got out despite being in financial poo after that. It was tough and you know what I would do it again if I had to, only this time I would go and get housing benefit BEFORE maxing out my credit card and then faulting it.

    thanks hun. Have just sent him a text telling him I'm not messing around any longer and not to come home. me and kids won't play 2nd best any longer, it's not fair on me or them. he can get his stuff tomorrow then i don't want to see him. Perhaps if he spends time away he may sort out his priorities and work out that he should put family before mates - however i seriously doubt it.

    Aww Chicky good on you for making a stand. Hope it works out and gives you both a bit of space (and Noah decided he does need more sleep after all) xx

    Sorry to hear that chicky, maybe it will be the wake up call he needs (???) there's nothing wrong with the odd trip to the pub but when it takes over and means a partner is being left to cope with everything at home it just isn't fair :(

    If he does come back I would advocate going on 'strike' and doing nowt for him until she sees the error of his ways :mad:

    Hope you're okay
