PigginSkint's DFW Diary

Oh, poor you, what a weekend! Hopefully OH is trying to get back in your good books and you have a lovely shining house (and properly clean, not just man-clean as my OH would do!) and your dinner made when you get home.

(BTW, go on, name names!!)

He is trying to get back in my good books - last night he was looking on t'internet for teaching courses. Looks like he's found one too so he is planning on doing his application for it.

Also he had cleaned and tidied the living room by the time I got home, and loaded the dishwasher. It's a start!! Pigs will fly before he manages properly clean rather than man-clean but everything helps!

Dinner made? You are joking! But I did make something really simple - they had chicken and veg pies from the freezer (Sainsburys Basics) and I had a cauliflower cheese grill from the freezer, with baked potatoes and sweetcorn. Yum!

That's a pretty good description!

Mind you, he has been doing his utmost to make amends, so it's not all bad!!

Sorry forgot to respond to this bit! I am not sure that I should say so I will give you a clue - think Channel 4 and the initials A.Z.

Yawn! Hello all! Feeling rather bleary eyed today – I didn’t go to bed very early last night as I was sat with OH looking at teaching courses on the internet.

I had the most horrendous headache yesterday which came and went all day (and I have still got it today). It came on again just as I was leaving work to go home. I got on my first train O.K. and then when I got to New Street and went to catch my connecting train I discovered that it was packed to the rafters – I don’t tend to get on a train anyway if it means I’ve got to stand, but the thought of having to stand on my recovering broken foot with an absolutely pounding headache… no way Jos!!!!!

I phoned OH and he said ‘go and sit down and have a cup of tea’ – this is not something I would normally do being all MSE/DFW and all, but I was persuaded! So I went and bought a cup of tea – the sort you get in a paper cup with a lid. When I first started drinking it I thought how weak it was, then when I got to the bottom and found the tea bag it was very very strong – why couldn’t they have…(a) stirred the tea so that it was brewed properly (b) used the sort of teabag with a string on it so I could have swished it around or (c) provided a spoon or similar so I could stir it? As it was I did not even know the teabag was in there! Oh well, these things are sent to try us!

Went to Aldi on the way home and bought a few essentials – I discovered on Sunday night that I had no tinned tomatoes left in my cupboard. :eek: This is absolutely unheard of – I have never not got tinned tomatoes! Anyway then I staggered home and was plied with cups of tea by my boy – under sufferance of course!!

I was going to put my Avon books back out last night but I felt too ill. I have got them ready and OH is going to put them out for me today.

I managed to do all except one of my remaining deliveries at work yesterday – should be able to do the last one tomorrow. Also my neighbour has now got most of hers in – just one more to go I think! I can’t remember whether I mentioned it but I have also got a mystery one still outstanding – it came in without an address on and we don’t know who it belongs to. It is one that DS collected and he couldn’t remember which house he got it from (this was on one of the days that OH and DS went out to collect books so I could stay at home and rest my foot) but we thought it was one of two houses. It turns out that it is neither so we are now at a loss as to who it belongs to. I have printed off a note to go out with all my books (in true DFW style I did it at work) to see if I can trace the owner! Serves them right for not putting a name or address on the order form!!

My weight is still not going down – it stayed the same for about 4 weeks and has now gone up a pound. That might be something to do with the jam doughnuts on valentine’s day and the battenburg cake over the weekend – they were on special offer in Iceland when I went in there on Saturday. It’s not going to get any better this week as it is my birthday on Friday (I shall have to bring cakes to work) and we are going to a wedding evening do on Saturday.

In other news…I have now laid aside the trainers and I am now wearing walking shoes to get to work and my smart shoes at work. It feels very odd I can tell you, and my foot aches. But this also means I can wear some different clothes now – I am actually wearing a skirt!! I have also started to walk to the station and back again, instead of catching the bus. As I have been wearing my walking shoes for this my foot hasn’t actually felt too bad while doing it – until I take my walking shoes off that is! I suppose it is going to take a while longer for it to recover fully so I am just going to have to live with that.

Oh well, I suppose I had better do some work. I was hoping for a relatively lazy day but I don’t think it’s going to happen!

Bye all!

Hi pigginskint x

Really sorry to hear what happened to your OH the weekend, i would have been livid with him if it was me and "pay back" would last weeks in this household!!! lol

I know what you mean too about "man cleaning". When i am at work on a sat and it is my OHs day off it is his responsibility to do the housework and when i have returned from work its just about passable, but i know for a fact that he leaves it all to do in the last 20 mins before i come home as i have caught him out on a couple of occasions when i have returned half an hour early and nothing, and i mean NOTHING has been done!!!:mad: x When i do my housework it takes me 2 hours to do!!

I still cant guess who the famous person is, any chance of another clue? Im soooo nosey!! :rotfl:

If you need an extra clue or confirmation that you got it right, by coincidence on Friday night when OH was in London talking to him, he was actually on the telly. (I forget which programme now - my brain has gone to mush!... no, hang on, it was something featuring videos from youtube or something like that!)
