Hope your tummy calms down soon mum2one.

Ditto..........

touch wood - only 1 more session - so hoping settled down, sounds daft but in a way I feel I should be there for the ex - meant 5 yrs together - when I was expecting DD the father was not the best, I'd bumped into ex, we went out for a pub meal, bless his heart - I had to tell him at the time I was pregnant, he offered to bring the baby up as his own, name on birth certificate, marry me so the baby had a new surname, come to scans, etc the whole saga, - for all intense and purposes outside immediate family the baby was his.

thou it was a nice thought, part of me did run it through the grey cells, - thou when her went to the bar to get a drink -- he came back with a bottle of wine (for himself..) there and then I knew he hadn't changed. I feel I owe him for that, its stupid.

Left the phone on silent, and not gone into fb... xx

mum2one, you don't owe him anything, you need to look after yourself first. Hope you're feeling better today.

Still hobbling around this morning. This pain is actually really worrying me, it's in the hip area, and I've already escalated it in my mind during the night to eventually needing a hip replacement and losing my job because I'll be off for too long :rotfl:

I know that's crazy, I will not worry, I will not worry...

How are you feeling now Ellie?

Hi BookWorm
I'm still really sore, but have calmed down a bit with the worrying

DS2 was being cheeky saying how could I hurt myself just *walking*...I told him I might have to move in with him as he has no stairs, that soon shut him up :rotfl:

I'm not working until Thursday this week, so can have another easy day at home tomorrow.
I'm being very lazy, I wrote my big list of what I wanted to do in the house, but I haven't actually done any of it!

I want to eat everything in sight...have dieted for 2 whole days and I'm not thin yet :rotfl:

BookWorm

Glad you are feeling less stressed at least

:rotfl: bet your DS was worried by that idea!

Re: the eating thing...don't I've not kept up my good habits since Easter really and the weekend away I've just had, didn't help. I need to give myself a kick up the behind again

Byatt

I dieted for two whole minutes once...it was awful. :D

JKS, oh yes, I can do the "dragged through a hedge backwards" look :rotfl:

Thanks for all the hair suggestions. I just feel really bland and boring at the moment. I'll stick with the same hairdressers, because I've finally got one where I feel relaxed and I know the girls and we can have a good chat, no awkward silences.

i'm a bit busy the next couple of weeks, so it might have to wait a while.

I knew I should have sent my ironing over to LB, melted a shower curtain to my iron this morning I doubt I'll get all the melted stuff off the hotplate.

Decided to walk to my colleague's instead of driving, seeing as it is Day 1 of the diet. I'd only gone a little way when I got a pain in my back/hip, it's bleeping agony! I'm really put out because I have back pain all the time, but this is a new pain on the other side...I don't have space in my life for another pain! :rotfl:

So sitting with my feet up for the rest of the evening.

Glad its not just me with that look - we must be on trend at some point in time, surely? I'm finding with my last trim that I actually should wash it every day if I want it to look decent :eek:. Not sure what my hairdresser has done differently, but it seems to stick up more & more each day on waking & looks awful. As I simply don't have time to wash & dry it each day (has to dry naturally or it goes into a huge ball of frizz) it doesn't look good once I've slept on it

I have tried to go without sleep, thinking that not only will my hair look better, but I'll actually be able to catch up with all the things I need to do, but that didn't work either

I'm with BW - I also think exercise is bad for you! How are you feeling today?

He doesn't sound like a keeper :rotfl: Good for you about being loyal, but you must look after yourself first. He isn't going to change (but I think you've gathered that by now ) so at best, aren't you just going to be having the same conversations over & over again, unless he REALLY wants to change?

Glad to hear your healing is still improving, & hope your tum is behaving better today.

I love this Ellie :T

Well today's unexpected disaster is child related. I had a hospital appointment yesterday, which involves lots of tests (& treatment if the results go the wrong way, which thankfully they didn't :dance:) & its a 6 -7 hour round trip involving 4 buses. So I'm always pretty tired when I get home.....

I'd got pizza for DD & DS to cook, asked DD to do the washing up (not loads) & asked them to hang the washing on the clothes airer to dry overnight (as it was DD's school trousers needed for today amoung other things), & then I went to bed. What could go wrong?

Thankfully they didn't burn the house down, but they had "too much to do" to get the washing up done, or even load the dishwasher Well, that's a PITA for me & just another thing I'll need to do this morning, but not the end of the world. Love to know what they we're doing though, not homework from DS's panic this morning....

Went to check on the laundry - for some reason the machine didn't run a spin cycle, so all the washing was dripping wet. So DD decided to hang it up in the front room anyway, dripping or not, & left it to drip all night into the carpet, onto DS's PE kit & onto some papers of mine. They even said they heard dripping, but didn't know where it was coming from :wall:

DD got so defensive when I pointed out that maybe she could have thought about it, so we've had a chat that turned into a full blown row & she's gone to school in a huff. Poor DS has to do PE in damp kit & I have a drenched carpet to deal with.

Their bedrooms have descended into chaos again, despite me asking them to clean them up, so all I can think this morning is what a bad job I've done as a parent as both of them don't seem to be able to think about anything (except their stomachs, themselves & what's on TV )

I have parent's evening for DS tonight - we have a system whereby the pupil makes the appointment, so kids like my DS who know they're doing badly just don't make an appointment. There are about 30 slots for over 140 kids so its quite easy for those kids to slip through the net - he's not so bad that the teachers pick up (although most of my DS's books don't appear to have been marked for months), hes just one of the quietly struggling who get passed over while the disruptive kids get all the attention. (He has 2 looked after kids in his tutor group who take up most of the time).

This isn't meant to be a teacher bashing post at all - there's no way I'd want to do that job & I'm amazed at the shoite they have to put up with from pupils (& senior management!).

Ex is also coming tonight, & I'm so not in the mood to hear how all of this is my fault, yet again. He's already very disappointed in them this month as they haven't contacted him to see how he is :whistle: so I don't think tonight is going to be one of my better nights.

Hope all have a better day & evening than me :rotfl:
