Well what a week this has been.

Firstly a quick update on holiday - seems so long ago now

Hotel was one we have stayed at a lot over the last 8 years, we had a penthouse apartment. All very posh but a bit OTT for my tastes really.

Concierge took us straight to our room at 11.30am, (check in time was 5pm) and showed us how to work various electrical equipment.

Hospitality manager phoned 10 mins later and came up to visit us with half a dozen mini bottles of gin and vodka and a half bottle of red wine and the day's paper.

We were then invited to the bordeaux evening, which included a luxurious 7 course dinner with wine at each course. A real treat and experience.

We had complimentary newspapers every day, free first drink each evening and special treatment in the restaurant. I have never felt so pampered - is this what its like to be famous?

As you know we had a chat about OH treatment of me and including finances. I didn't come completely clean, (as OH would just get too stressed) but said enough to make OH realise how difficult I find things. Only time will tell but so far things are going in the right direction. He even paid £100 into my bank account so I had petrol and spend money to go and see DM when I want to. That just never happens, unless its a birthday/other celebration present.

He tried really hard not to snap and apologised when he did, which was on drive home from the airport after a rather long and fraught-full day.

He has been well behaved this week.

Now other events

I'm still not well, I now have a problem with my water works. It flared up for a day and a bit on holiday and resurfaced on Thursday. It fluctuates between feeling like I need to go and not, to rushing to get there quick enough. All joined with abdomen pain. A trip to the doctors for me again on Monday I think. When it flared up on holiday, all I could think was OMG I can't be sick again as HE will go ballistic. I've pushed myself too far this week instead of putting my foot down and saying no.

Work and HE have been yuck, we had a few words yesterday but luckily HE went home at 12 so I had an afternoon of relative peace. HE is observing my meeting on Tuesday morning and has told me if it goes on for longer than an hour and a half, I will fail. Fail what I'm not exactly sure but my response was "Well you can only sack me once". Under my breath "You F***in T0ss3r"

DD apologised for missing Mother's Day, she didn't know and has said she'll make it up to me for my birthday. I told her it was fine and I understand. I didn't tell her DS also forgot!!

DS has failed to explain or apologise, other than to say "I was working" I had no words as it hurt, I do a lot for him, don't expect gifts as I know money is tight, understand he was in work but feel either a text, quick call or cheap card would not have gone a miss or taken too much effort.

OH is driving me potty today. He is watching the rugby and drinking. Despite me going upstairs out of the way so I could diary surf in peace, he is disturbing me. I'm sorry if this makes me sound like a biatch but he is aggressively bellowing at the tv in his drunken macho state, (oh hang on, he's just on his way up to talk at me about the results). Still here :rotfl: Hopefully he will eat his pizza and then fall to sleep, even if it leads to extremely loud snores. I'm contemplating digging out my ipod :rotfl:

So that is my news, I've run around all the diaries, had a quick catch up, gosh our lives are stressful at times aren't they "friends in the box". {What would we do without each other.

I love you all

nsd #15 today

Oh dear my mistake, there is one more game to go. Pizza eaten and now I'm back upstairs. Mini growl/snarl from OH, to the tune of "You can shout and scream all you want"

I don't shout, I don't scream. I don't even mind him watching all the games as it's his hobby. I do mind snarls. I will be telling him so tomorrow. I threatened to tape him on holiday - he was contrite, wonder how he'll feel tomorrow.

I intended to go to DMs this weekend to escape the rugby but water works put paid to that idea. Just not up to 160 mile drive/train journey.

Awww Granny sorry to hear you're not feeling 100%, hopefully the doctor can sort it pretty sharpish.xx

missrlr

Oh Granny sorry to hear you are unwell do please go get quack's opinion!

I have to say I shout and generally throw abuse at the rugby, I reason it's a tv and so does not hurt anyone, but I do love the game and am quite enthusiastic about the whole thing. However I do not shout at fellow watchers, that is rude.

Do video him, could be an eye opener!

please-let-me-be-lucky

Sorry to hear you aren't well again Definitely go to docs on Monday.

Holiday sounds fantastic and well done Grandad for the £100 :T Poor show from him tonight though and you have my sympathies. DH used to drink far too much before the accident and I too filmed him, firstly in a drunk state and then when he was passed out on the sofa at 6.30pm on a saturday evening with the boys still up and playing around him. It gave him a real shock the next day. Thankfully he no longer drinks so this is not a problem any more, but it's engraved in my memory and I'm so sorry that you are going through it.

DS also deserves a smacked bottom for not bothering with Mummies Day! Did DIL not have anything to say either?! Surely the girls could have drawn a few pictures even if money was tight.

I hope you have a better day tomorrow Xx

Hi Granny, pleased to read you have a fab holiday but sorry to hear you're not feeling too flash just now. It may be to do with the antibiotics you took when you were ill, they can often cause problems with the waterworks. As others have said, hopefully a trip to the doctors will sort you. I know you're probably doing it already, but drinks plenty of fluids and stay away from food with high acid levels. I find drinking cranberry juice works quite well too.

Dear Alice thanks for the concern. I'm really irritated at still being poorly tbh.

Dear Missrlr it's not the rugby or the enjoyment I mind, honestly. It's the really aggressive macho yelling, which is hard to describe really. It needs to be seen to be believed and I'm sure it, combined with umpteen cans of lager are not good for him. I felt quite sorry for him really as I'm sure he would have liked some company but I found it far too violent and struggled with memories from the past. Not from him I have to say but aggression does not sit easy with me.

Dear Lucky I remember you saying that about OH before and tbh it's nice to know someone understands where I'm coming from. That said I know you all support me in my angst. DDIL doesn't see me as her responsibility, which I find hard to comprehend but is the way she was bought up. Her mum was acknowledge on mother's day, as was she. Oh well, it's not worth stressing over. I know he loves and appreciates me really but he is male and young

Dear mrs F I'm sure you are right about the antibiotics, after all I had 4 weeks of the things. Bound to take their toll on even the strongest bod. I'm drinking lots and bought some cranberry tea today in an attempt to flush my kidneys. Lots of rest and relaxation is called for so I'll make the most of the next 2 days. Work is likely to be h3llish next week but luckily I only have to get through 3 days. Off on Friday for my birthday. Wonder if I'll get cards off DS and DGDs!

Holiday was fab, I wish I was still there tbh and not trying to deal with RL
