Morning everyone
Hugs to all those that are feeling sad/poorly x
Wet underfoot and windy but mild here this morning.
DH up and getting ready for work - no stupid early start today, he's making the most of it - whilst it lasts!
Dinner last night was a complete disaster - hairdresser came and I had got everything prepped before she arrived, she got the bleach on my hair and that then needs 40+ minutes - in that time she cuts the menfolks hair whilst I got the roast pots on the go etc. Mis-calculated and put the meat in the oven to early and by the time we were ready to eat the meat was inedible - DH had a real a right strop about how stupid I am to try to cook that sort of dinner when hairdresser is coming etc, and that he then wasn't going to eat a dinner without "meat". I offered sausages as the meat had to be binned - that wasn't right. So I just said that I only had sausages if he wanted those that's fine but the choice was that, just veggies or nothing. I then use the tactic of going very quiet - I was completely livid last night as he was completely over the top and I it's just like having 3 kids not 2 and an adult, he's such a man baby at times. I've been completely off with him as it just wears you down and I feel I put up with far more than I should and you just get to the point where you've had enough, (although I get pushed to this point quite regularly unfortunately). After this he then "!!!!! foots" around me, being all so attentive and overly "nice" - I'm afraid it just doesn't wash with me anymore and I just go very quiet and go off and do my own thing within the home. Rant over ............and breathe .................! Dinner tonight will be beef casserole at least I may be able to get that right!
Work yesterday was another busy day - think it was the catch up from not being very busy Monday morning! Only working until lunchtime today - then on days off - have shed loads to do as going away on Friday morning - how I feel at present could quite cheerfully pack him off on his own and stay here on my own/with the kids but then feel why should I miss out.
Keep safe and well x
nmlc x
Not my place to say t but my oh can be slightly critical so when he mentioned how s h I t e my ironing was I said well I'll not do yours then. Fourteen years on I still don't. Over that time my cooking and cleaning skills have also been commented on so when I've stopped doing those and made it clear why. He has 3 choices do it himself. No one does it or I'll do it without comment. The best wesk I ever had was when I did nothing I got in from work no cooking cleaning shopping ironing. Wel impressed he lasted a week though. . . . I am s h I t e at ironing though but I'm comfortable with that x
Edit we share chores normally its too much for one0 -
Afternoon all
Another day doned, hubby will need collecting around 9ish.
NMLC, I suggest hubby cooks from now on when it's hairdressing night.
My beloved is a grumpy bu&&er, but always says thank you for his meals.
LW, I lost my hearing in one ear at 17 so I don't see deafness as an age thing.
Julie, mines going bald on top too so I think he's extra sensitive at present.
I'm absolutely wiped out so will have a snooze before I have tea.
Have a good evening everyone.

Well I am back, my appointment overrun because they found more problems than they thought
I have been issued with new crutches like these
they are arthritic crutches and I had to be taught how to use them before I could come home. I have nice sheepskin pads to rest my arms on as well, they are actually quite comfortable when you get used to them, but they are more awkward than ordinary crutches. They are also thinking about putting me in wrist splints.
Had a nice a massage and they tried to manipulate the bones in my neck which was a little uncomfortableapparently I have lost more movement than I thought :eek: No more weight training either.
I have to go back in a month.
Just walking to the car park I got 2 clever so and so's asking me if I was going skiing :mad:
To top it all I phoned for my blood test results and got a message to see the doctor, so I have an appointment with her next Wednesday
nmlc he would have had something very heavy hurtling his way in my house followed by a week of silent treatment and doing his own cooking :mad:Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

Well I did say no OS was going on............went for a wander round the next home store to look at the bedding, and came home with a new mirror and clock for the living room and a set of heart shaped storage boxes! Mirror and clock hung, and storage boxes filled with all the freshly cleaned[STRIKE] clutter[/STRIKE] ornaments which previously lived on the fireplace, mantle and tv unit, goodbye pigs, pirates, ships and bhuddas. DS will have a canary when he comes in, last time I moved all his dads trinkets to dust I was instructed to "put my dad's things back", but I can't stand the clutter anymore, maybe if I get rid of the excess gibble in here it will spur me on with the bedroom!
OH moaned about his dinner once, never tried it again when the next night cooked his favourite meal, showed it to him, then said "oh that's right, I can't cook" and tossed it, plate and all, into the bin!RIP Iain

Evening all,
apologies Hester, I read that as 'Another day stoned'. It took awhile for my brain to process what you had correctly said.:D
Not much to report from me today. Hubby is now in the process of making a few calls with the view of going back to work. He scared me yesterday by announcing he only wants to work 6 months of the year. His wages are good and our expenses are low and I think he might be able to do it.:(
He wanted to go to a new garage today to look at cars and I told him to go on his own. However, I did tell him that if went to the garden centre to look at things for the Christmas tree, i'd go with him.
I had to compromise.... we went to the garage first and the garden centre afterwards. Tomorrow he is going back and i'm hoping to pull the same stunt again as I want to go to the other garden centre. I want some new red decorations for the tree. I bought some gold ones today but I didn't like the red ones they had in stock.

Wuvvies - So sorry to hear of your problems, have a hug, chin up lovie.
nmlc - I'm sorry but he would have been wearing his dinner!
Judi - You have the patience of a saint. Well done though on the trip to the garden centre!
Busy day at work, coffee at a friends - she had her DGS who is just adorable so that amused us.
Sausage and mash for tea, someone came to look at remainder of furniture and bought it so that's something else sorted. She will arrange to pick it up soon.
Actually had a couple of hours without rain today but it's back now.
Take care. XX0 -
Popping back in as I am amazed and stunned, DD came in first and looked around the room looking shocked and asked "where is the stuff?", DS came in looked at the mirror and clock and said "ok, youre mad" and didn't notice the lack of carp till it was pointed out to him! I knew she was silently suffering, but I am so shocked by his reaction....RIP Iain
