    Thank you hun xxx

    Baby steps ... with my dodgy back and effed up hips its about as much as i can manage pmsl but hey ho its the way to go!

    Went to morrisons and spend £101!!!! EEK!!!!! Just off to make my lunch for tomorrow and put on the last load of laundry. My bed looks like a chinese laundry. OH has nowhere to sleep tonight! He can have the big sofa!!!!!

    The good thing is this week I get to dictate that I finish at least an hour early for 4 days so proper looking forward to that. My "manager" is a proper pain in the a$$ so to get off early will make me very happy! And I can get loads done at home in that extra time and i get extra time with the littlies!

    OH is finally home so off to do my essentials for the morning .. night night all ... see you tomorrow! xxxxx

    Have proper enjoyed getting home early yesterday and today ... got to start tackling the laundry mountain that is plaguing my house! OH was sooo kind today and did 2 whole loads in the machine! Yes 2 whole loads! And it was all his stuff the cheeky bu$$er!

    Have done another 2 loads since being home and have chilled with the kids, sent them for showers, had a shower myself, went to the ice cream van in my pj's (sick of saying no to the kids ... we deserved it tonight!), thankfully the van was just across the road from my house and i threw my jacket on so i didn't scare the ice cream man!

    Am just off to bed as am !!!!ed! See you all tomorrow! still no news on the postie front! xxx

    Fingers crossed the postie brings you good news tomorrow.

    Mine does the same -"But I did the washing it's all hung up to dry." And is then surprised when I go mad later as all of my stuff is still in the wash basket where he's had to rummage through it to get at his!

    Ice cream *drools* we don't get a van round here so it's a walk to McDonalds for McFlurry if we have a craving in the evenings.

  • Men arent the best launderers ever. Mine tends to just wash towels.

    He also has a bit of a fear of putting a white load on.

    Are you all sitting down comfortably? Then I shall tell you a story:D

    About a stressed out mother who threw a complete wobbly this morning when she slept in for work and only just managed to get the kids to school at five past nine when they are normally in at quarter past eight:eek: She threw a complete wobbler at her lazy a$$ OH who was lying in bed sleeping after going to see his "mates" last night.

    She went to work (half an hour late but nothing said cos she remembered to phone in!) and promptly sent rotten OH an email to let him know just how shi$$y she has been feeling lately. About how a trip to the hospital to get lady bits looked at cos there have been "changes" is scaring the life out of her and just how pants she feels when OH goes out with his "mates" all the time instead of trying to help her.

    Well she came home from work to find the kitchen immaculate, washing in the dryer, DD2's christening dress washed and hung up to dry (yes she is 7, wore it when she was 2 and it still fits her:rotfl:) and dinner cooking. And then he spoiled it all by stating that he was going out to see a "mate" again tonight. Further ruined it by uttering the fateful words "I won't be long". That was 3 hours ago!

    Dinner was nice though, but the kitchen is now trashed again. I suppose that is my penance for marrying a former chef! Thank goodness for the dishwasher, I'd be lost without it:D

    Still no news so not worrying about anything, although need to sit down and go through all the totals and work out just how much we did owe, how much we owe now and work out how much has been repaid. I still point blank refuse to deal with HIS debts, cos they are in his name, not mine:o

    I did tell him that he has changed and of course, he denies it. Don't know what to do to get him to see it, unfortunatley it is breaking my heart but am just going to have to "man up" and sort it all out myself.

    Oh well, it's half way through the week and I get an early finish tomorrow so am off to bed to see if I can get some sleep ... proper knacked i am this week ... think its all the emotions.

    Night night xxx

    Whats a white load? Mine just shoves everything in at once and boils it! Thankfully military kit is pretty much designed for that mind set and any colour runs on new stuff is easily disguised as part of the pattern.

    Mine wouldn't know a white load if it hit him in the face!!!!! He eventually came home the other night ... at 6am!!! To say I was furious would be an understatement. I still haven't forgiven him. Although I have yet to tell him that if he does it again ... he is gone!

    Am sitting watching john barrowman on telly ... would love it if someone would write to him and get my dream come true ... i only want my teeth fixed and to dance with anton du beke! Not much really lol. Been trying to persuade DD1 to do it .. no luck so far lol.

    So I am going to have to bite the bullet and get some !!!!! on the bay of E (thanks to Skint but Optimistic for that title!). But I can still dream about nice teeth, nice nails and a lovely cha cha cha with anton later lol

    Hopeing you are all well xxx
