Pigpen - I think you've been more than patient re OH's ex! I don't think that there's a jury in the country that would convict you........

Nice day here - away to mums later. Not looking forward to it. Thanks to sis we are in a hotel in the back of beyond - and she's not coming until tomorrow.

I'm away for some breakfast and to put some washing on!

See you on Sunday! Have a good weekend.

Pigpen - will be thinking of you this weekend as I suffer in Stockport with all my relatives....

bossymoo

Pigpen - they were only seeing each other 3 months? That's barely a one night stand! What in earth are they still in touch for? I'm not surprised you're hopping mad about it. Blokes are a bit useless - they often don't have the skills to finish with someone they're in a relationship with, let alone someone they're not. Don't know what to suggest other than "create" some kind of scenario where he has to change his number and help him to lose hers in the process of moving his contacts

Not that I would ever do anything so underhand, you understand :rotfl:

So we are watching bob the builder and having brekkie. Quite tired as couldn't sleep again last night - been the same all week but I do have episodes like this from time to time, and they generally stop of their own accord...

I'm going to tackle the lists today, although we have got a friend over later this morning.

Just finish my cuppa then will go get dressed...

Morning all

Hugs, vibes, sticks, congrats and :coffee:for all as my brain hasn't woken up yet

I'm so glad its Friday. I'm shattered, and looking forward to a lie in tomorrow (ex is coming Sunday since it's Fathers Day so I'll go and see my dad when DD gets home since she is making the gift ). I'm going to bed at my normal time and I'm asleep within minutes of my head hitting the pillow, but I'm feeling like I've not slept at all

DD has asked if she can do a picnic for Sunday so I'm going to go and get the bits today to save going tonight or tomorrow when it'll be heaving and like locusts have hit the shop. I'll just have to make sure that I get decent dates on the stuff. And since there will be left overs due to packet sizes, I'll be having a nice lunch Sunday too I think I'll book a delivery for Monday though, we need long life milk, and cordial, and I need to get a couple of bigger bottles of water for DD to take on a trip on Wednesday. I just hope the weather is nice for it.

Pigpen, when you go around the house today collecting all the washing, could you not accidently gather his phone with said washing and put it all on a very hot wash. That way phone will be ruined and he will have to get a new one. You could also before you put it in the wash take SIM card out and put the whole phone in to the machine in pieces so that the sim just disappears? It could in theory disappear down the bit by the rubber seal in the door!

I know this works as accidently put my mobile in the wash years ago and it was truly broken. You shouldn't have to put up with this silly behaviour and he should be putting you first.

Good luck

Today is not going well. I have mixed up the time of my nail appointment and was deep in the woods walking our canine visitor when they rang me to ask where I was. I'm now back and realise that DD2 has got swimming today and she hasn't taken her kit in. I have to be in work in ten minutes so I had better get it up there now.

nicki_2

First I shut the computer down without grabbing the shopping list DD made on mysupermarket for me so had to wait for it to boot up to get the list and now I've been distracted by reading something online... still haven't made it to Mr A. I need to go now, and it looks like I'll have to wear my coat as its getting darker by the minute Must remember to go and collect a customers book as well, which is in the opposite direction to Mr A :wall:

Right, I'm shifting myself otherwise I'll still be sat here tomorrow :rotfl:

MinnieMousesMummy

Good morning everyone well this morning has not got off to a very good start although the sun is shining so determined to turn today around. I got up in grumpy mood and rushed around getting kids organised to get ds to school and dd to toddler group only to discover that her group is not on today. So far today I have checked Mr A price (£6.10 in vouchers), checked bank, moved money around and paid the rent.

I need to go and collect DM at lunchtime so I'm going to do an hours cleaning before me and dd head out in the car.

Planned list for the next hour is:

Dust and deweb kids bedrooms
Dust and deweb in the living room
Hang some washing outside and put another load in the wm
HH declutter in the living room
HH declutter in the kitchen
Make the beds

I will be back later to update on my progress for today.

Hi

Hope all is going well.

Sat here for some daft reason feeling miserable, just given myself a talking to 'why am I miserable' and I couldn't come up with any reasons what so ever, daft.........I have NOTHING to be miserable about, except the weather..............

Pigpen, I agree with the loosing of the sim card, or just insist he deletes her number, you ring up his service provider and suggest that (x) relevant number is a pest caller and you want it blocked......I am sure you have over the years had enough arguments with 'officialdom' to do it.

Bossy glad ds love the school, sounds like the right school.

I forgot last month to pay my credit card bill,:o:o got the letter last night Dear Mrs Kaz, blah blah, not paid your bill, it is going to cost you £35.99 in charges:eek: blah blah..........so put on my humble & sorry voice, rang customers services, grovelled a bit, humble , sorry, not done that before, been busy at work, 6 mins later get the £35.99 charge dropped.........:D

Daily stuff done
Going to hoover the whole house in a bit and pull out the beds, and get all the bit out.
Post father's day card
Shopping list made.

Have a good day x

mrs-moneypenny

Kaz well done on getting the charges on the CC late payment dropped. i did that years ago with same result but learned my lesson ive set up a DD to pay amount in full now so it wont happen again. hope the sadness goes away soon.

nicki hope the day gets better

Bossy glad ds is looking forward to his big school

got to nip in the attic quick and find a dress for one of the dolls im giving the school at lunch time.
