    Thanks guys haha lucielle my polytunnel took off in the xmas winds, so its looking a bit sorry for itself, being as it has block sides up to about 2ft high and just a frame now perhaps I should consider outdoor veg this year:rotfl: just a bit more contained than normal. p.s cant afford the new covering this year Im afraid, but thanks for the offer.

    Big row last Friday think all is back to somewhere near normal now. As you say Lucielle sometimes thats whats needed, hope were all going to be ok now. Nice day here today washing done and banking done too. Still seem to be struggling along DH has a little bit of sign work this week but not much else :(

    Despite the row things are still not 100% ok but Im struggling on. Have got a friend coming to stay on Tuesday for a week so really looking forward to that. Money really seems tight at the mo and cant really work out why but hey ho nothing really changes that much. DD finishes college on Thursday and boys are off now for 2 wks so thats all good. DH is playing golf this morning but its now pouring down so dont suppose his humour will be any better when he gets home. A real mr Grumpy at the mo he is and Im trying hard to ignore it. Wish he would see what he does have rather than what he doesnt, its getting me down now! Anyway kids are good, DS1 managed to throw a stone in the air and catch DS2 right on the forehead, this resulted in one large lump, (the type that start like an egg and end up like a tennis ball) he now looks a bit chinese as the bump reduces. Oh the joy of it, he keeps looking in the mirror :rotfl: I think he thinks he'll stick like that!!!

    Hi Turfy, is there anyway you 2 can have a break from one another? Could the friend reciprocate and you go there for a bit? Let OH have the kids and see how he gets on.

    Havent been on here for ages it seems. Had a lovely time with friend over she's actually having a tough time with her own relationship so we moaned together :rotfl: Kids managed to use up the internet over easter so had to wait for the new allowance and just ban everyone for a bit. This wifi seems to be the problem, think I'll just plug it out. DD almost finished college for the first year, god its flown by, she has another week to do and will be home till september. DH has been working all week, which is great as he's been out all day so Ive got loads sorted and the accounts all ready to go to the accountant when she's back from her hols next week. Need all that to be sorted and then can get on and get the tax done!! never ending. DH is doing joinery this week so the signs are taking a back seat until next week when we can get back to them. Things seem ok at the mo, just keep hoping they stay that way.

    Sounds a bit more positive at your end. How's Ned doing? Give him a carrot from me.
