    I dislike OH today.. let's just say he knows.. he almost mowed down 3 pedestrians and a cyclist on the school run, nearly took the door of the car and the back room door off the hinges. The doors on the kitchen units were almost on next doors units and the poor DW has a headache! Dot nearly had her little bum scrubbed off and the cats have been yelled at.

    And you wonder why I didn't tell him sooner..

    Big hugs pigpen, sorry to hear your oh is being a pain. I can't offer any advice or even a dodgy hug as I am on my phone. I hope it comes around!

    @rumfeeble I been looking at buggys too, just browsing. I have the opposit problem though, I need one for walking at least an hour a day and I have a tiny boot and would rather not spend a fortune lol

    Oh Pigpen, hopefully it's just the initial shock and he will come round to the idea very soon.

    Minimuffin, so sorry to hear about your cat - hope she recovers well x

    I went for my triple test last week and was told results would be back in 2 weeks so I was nearly sick yesterday when I got a message asking me to ring them back before 4.30. So I called back and was told I'm very low risk (less than 1 in 4000) for both Downs and Spina Bifida - very relieved.

    It has been nearly 2 years with Dot and he is still in a grump about her so I'll not hold my breath.. though.. he hasn't mentioned anything so I'm not sure if he actually believed me..

  • Honestly PP. no offence but what is his problem??
    Metranil dreams of becoming a neon,
    You don't even take him seriously,
    How am I going to get to heaven?,
    When I'm just balanced so precariously..
  • How did you tell him pp? Thanks for comments re cat, poor thing had surgery today to put a pin in. Vet said his bone was starting to crack down the middle and he is in a lot of pain, poor thing.

    Great news about your triple test girlzmum, i never got offered any tests at the ulster, mw said they don't routinely check?!

    How did you tell him pp?

    He was saying he dislikes children and can't understand why people choose to have them . so I said 'you don't want another one then?.. he replied no they are horrid.. so I said you might want to rethink that I have a scan appt on Tuesday'

    Pretty much word for word the same as when I was having Dot.

    Hugs for puss!!!

    Honestly PP. no offence but what is his problem??

    He likes peace and quiet and children don't. I think a lot of it is that he is just lazy!

  • But..but..he has married someone who:

    a. already had a number of children
    b. clearly likes children (i'm guessing your own at least)!
    c. Has borne him 2 gorgeous daughters

    Really, I think he needs a bit of a slap..

    He likes Squeak.. not so sure about Dot.. but his entire family ignore her. He likes my DD1 very much and DD4 too. DS3 is hard work, very hard work, he alway has been and DD3 is a prize cowbag. DD5 is totally bone idle and while she is not horrible she is really frustrating. DS2 is a geek, never off his pc kind of geek.. he goes to college and is never late and we rarely have any bother from him. DS1 is still much harder work than all of the others put together and he doesn't even live here! DD2 is rarely seen.. she rarely speak and you have to make the effort because she won't and he doesn't. The only ones I would swap or think other people might want to slap are DS3 and DD3.. though everyone seems to really like them when they gp anywhere. I sometimes wonder if he even likes me, I am pretty certain he doesn't love me.

    I never lied, I owned up to my 8 before I met him .. I usually say I have 2 then add 'genders' in my head lol. I even 'fessed up to having the grandboy too.

    I know he needs bit of a slap.. he is the one who kept mentioning having a boy after Dot was born, I was the one preventing it.. unsiccessfully it seems.. and you never know.. Bounty says this is a boy .. (bet it's a girl though!! I will sniff my own slippers if it is a boy!.. that is NOT a good thing believe me!)
