    3rd phone call of the day.. and the thing which really annoyed me was ' I can't talk right now'... now if it is not a conversation he can have in front of me then it has content he doesn't want me hearing in which case he probably shouldn't be having it at all..

    He is heading for a slap.. though, I have an EXCELLENT memory for phone numbers.. :p

    Pigpen. I honestly believe that OH should phone his ex in front of you and tell her to back off. I think she is trying to cause trouble but I'm not saying that he is, I just think that sometimes we don't know how to deal with things and your OH sounds like this to me.

    He is not thinking about how you're feeling:(

    This, tbh. The past is the past and should be behind him and put away.

    came home to a less meesy kitchen (note - not tidy, or clean, just less messy;))
    so that's good...

    I can't see a thing - must go get the eyedrops.

    DS2 dropped to work and another food shop done. Having a well earned cuppa and sit down.

    DS3 wants to play more cricket but I'm too tired. He can read to me instead.

    Good evening :D

    Paid stuff done. Then I hoovered through the whole of downstairs (emptied the hoover before & after, and bashed the filter a bit), also did the stairs, landing, bathroom & my BR. Then I finally planted the tomatoes, cucumbers, chillis, peppers & sunflowers (been on my frog list for a while!) They will be gone tomorrow, no doubt :mad: (blooming slugs :mad::mad:) I have now administered gnat bite cream to my legs :mad: Nature, eh?!

    Did half an hour on the wii fit earlier, and then all the kids had a go :) I am now going to put my feet up & watch TV :p

    I have dealt with all the food from the fridge, freezer, hob and fruit bowl that needed attention, and I'm twirling more bedding (ours) as it's the only set I can get to sleep under in hot weather. It is finally warming up here, it's forecast to be a 'Phew what a scorcher' tomorrow so we're off to the chalet for a couple of hours to get it ready for a let from Thursday. I've also baked another batch of OH's favourite cookies as he'd scoffed them all - with quite a bit of help from R and me if I'm honest, but he doesn't need to know that.

    OH is supposed to be cooking me rump steak, saute potatoes, peas and spinach tonight but I can hear him talking on the phone in his office and nothing has been done. It's 8.13. I might start chewing the table soon.

    Pigpen As you can't run super-fast at the moment, I don't think taking the axe to him would be that wise. You'd defo be caught. She isn't worth it, and at the moment, he isn't behaving as though he is, but he probably is really. I hope.
    Better is good enough.
