    keeps quiet because Mr LT has behaved himself today, i can loan him out if you want so you can show your OH's just how a well behaved man behaves.


    I might take you up on that LT, at the same time whilst mr LT is teaching my OH you and I can go see the puppies and the rest of the doggies my parents have :p

    I worked an 11 hour day yesterday and then called to see a friend who was poorly and needed some shopping, I came home and took DS2 to footy. He'd cooked for all the children and himself, but nothing for me. It was the thoughtlessness that upset me the most. One night a week, usually less than that he has to cook. Sounds petty this morning but I wasn't impressed.

    Thats not good Lucielle. Could he not have made something that you could have put in the microwave when you came in?

    Morning All,

    :grouphug: hugs to those who need it. Hope everyone is well.


    My DIY friend and her OH are coming round for dinner tonight. I'm looking forward to it as I hope it means we'll get our friendship back on track. Told OH to keep his opinions to himself (when he's in a mood nobody is spared and everybody gets their character whether they deserve it or not) and that I'm fed up not having many friends so he better not ruin this for me with his behaviour. I had another friend round for tea last night and he was moaning like crazy. My friend suggested he go back to bed. He did! He woke up in a better mood.


    I have my car back but I'm £134 poorer. OH said he'll pay the bulk of it which helps.

    Its pay day today so I'll update my totals shortly. Am tempted just to pay off Egg/BC and be done with it. I have so far made anything on tarot this week (didn't even log on last night was just too tired). I'm guessing next week will be busier as people will have been paid. So anything I pay out now to Egg/BC will be made back iyswim.

    Back later with updated totals.

    Only £100 to go on Egg/BC, and the DD for that comes out next week. Woohoo. Then its time to concentrate on my next one.

    Quick update, meal was a complete success. Did Dutch Fondue with rice and salad. Didn't get to bed until the early hours so am back off to bed.

    Why is it when you do get to stay in bed you can't sleep?

    As I am permanently sleep deprived I don't have this problem. The other day we got to sleep in till 8.25, which was amazing. On the other hand my boy woke me up at 6am on a sunday today, trying to play on the DS. SIGH. (where is the yawny smiley when you need it)

    uni, glad you had a good time with your friends and OH didn't stuff you up
    i know how you feel about not being able to sleep at those times when you can sleep in late i can never manage it but Mr LT can sleep for england.

    I like your plan about me visiting the puppy dogs and Mr LT teaching your OH how to behave nicely sounds like a good one to me.
