  • Hi all.

    Haven't seen The Choir - will see if I can find it online.

    DH not good yesterday but more himself today. DS1 threw up all over my bed at 1am this morning just to keep me on my toes! It's like they pass the baton back and forth! He is absolutely fine today but due to 48 hr rule he can't go to school until Friday.

    DS1 coping great with SATs though :T Xx

  • Happy Friday all!

    SATs are over and DS1 has taken it all in his stride :T. They had a treat day at a leisure centre as a reward from school - swimming, archery, bowling and clip n climb :j. Sounds like he's had great fun.

    DS2 went back to school today after having been right as rain for the last 2 days!!!

    DH is Mr Angry again tonight :(.

    Good news about your small boys. Not so good about the angry big boy :( Mmm - sounds like he needs a kick up the @&@&!
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • He certainly did need one SA! Unfortunately though it was he who hit me (in his sleep) last night. Massive uncontrolled arm jerk = Lucky gets punched in the face :(. Thankfully I don't have a mark or black eye, that would've looked lovely on the wedding photos in 2 weeks time :eek:.

    The bad mood has subsided but DH is quite slow today. Something feels like it's brewing :(.

    Yesterday was a NSD :T. Today we've been to a festival in a nearby village at an agricultural college and zoological gardens. Spent a fortune on rides for the kids etc but have had a lovely time seeing weird and wonderful animals. Mum and her partner have been over this afternoon too.

    Me too. It was like she didn't want to be there though :(. I felt heartfelt sorry for the Husband trying to keep it all together and getting nothing back. Totally got what he was saying about her going from fine to angry in seconds and those poor boys trying to deal with it. Thanking my lucky stars that DH and I still have a loving relationship Xx

    Yes, very sadly I can't see them going the distance.

    My heart went out to all the families featured on Louis' documentary last night.. I thought he dealt very well with the angry young man (suggesting he apologise to his Mum for upsetting/abusing her).
    The woman with young children, her husband obviously loves her so much.. Hope she does move into their annex for a while, until she can get used to her new reality.
