evening pinot
I always have strange and vivid dreams when stressed, so maybe it is just your subconscious screaming to be heardi hope they calm down for you as they can seem so realistic it's sometimes hard to distinguish fact from fiction (dreams lol)
Great news with the contract!

Hi Pinot
Just a quick note. Had a busy week at BUT was checking my emails for updates and thought you'd all gone quiet as had no notifications! So I come on the forum to find its all been happening in the Pinot household and I had no idea! I'm still catching up with your news but it seems you are getting into the swing of things so well done!

My dreams have been really vivid lately.
Last night I dreamt that I had 3 really young children and I kept giving them away then going to get them back again:o I had had a row with ds2 late last evening so some subconscious feelings coming out there I reckon:DDMP mutual support member 3970 -

Oh no giving away the children, then going back to collect them :rotfl:, how funny ! if I had hijacked that dream I reckon I would have put them on my cream double decker bus and send them to Timbucktoo with a bus loads of debt collectors !
Hope the row has all blown over now, I had some corkers with my DD1 before Xmas, they were so upsetting !
Anyway good to see you, it may take a while to catch up with my posts.....they do seem to go on and on and onLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

The thing is I dont feel stresed at all ( well I did a bit yesterday but that was a rarity ) I feel calmer than I have felt in years.
I had a dream a few years ago that Mr Pinot was having an affair , and it was so real I could barely speak to him for days ! The poor man had no idea what on earth was going on ! :rotfl:
Jsut had a sneaky taste of the Curry it nearly blew my head off. Not quite sure what the kids will make of it ! Best I see if theres some cream lurking in the fridge to cool it down !:DLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

I like the sound of your cream bus.:rotfl: The row has blown over. Sons do move on quickly. But I was OTT, the mother from hell. Tired and stressed with all the f&f stuff going on and DH still had nothing in writing about the possible contract for after redundancy.
Onwards and upwards though. We'll all get there in the endDMP mutual support member 3970 -

We all have those days where we scream and shout and grow two heads!! I always think I must be the only mother from hell out there but then I listen to other people or some of the stories my daughter tells me about her friends mums and realise Im not all that awful after all. I bet you are the same ! Sounds like you have a whole lotta of stress going on at the moment. Have you a diary Loubylou, I have had a look but cant find one ?:)LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Well last night DS2 said that 'no other mother would overreact like I did' and on that occasion he may have been right:o But thanks for your support.
No I dont have a diary. I went on the DMP forum when we first started down this road in July 2010 then last year I went AWOL once we had got into a routine. But I did miss the support and as the year went on we did struggle with the price of everything going up.
I was thinking of posting a thread to ask for advice with the f&f business. If we could sort this and if DH gets this contract and was kept on we could sort ourselves out and start making inroads to our interest only Mortgage. I have moments of excitement at the thought of this. It seems out of reach at the moment.DMP mutual support member 3970
