  • Evening all. Another weekend gone in a flash! 2 birthday parties, work, a visit to Mum's and it's all gone! 5 more days at school and then 'hello Summer' though :D.

    DH was snappy yesterday and again this morning, so I told him if he thought he could find someone else who'd put up with everything I do then he should go right ahead. He's been better this afternoon.

    Can I pinch your line to DH. Mr P is doing okay atm but I could do with being armed with a new retort when he is being unnecessarily grumpy.


    Sorry to hear about your car too. I hope it is easily and cheaply fixed.

  • Course you can pinch it Pooh! It seems to have worked as things have been much better the last few days.

    Sparky, I'll be honest, I'm not making time for myself which may not have helped my tolerance levels. Will have to try to factor it in, which won't be easy as the kids break up on Friday for 6 weeks, but I'll try.

    SA, we certainly are mad but what else would we do?!

    Beanie, it's been a scorcher here yesterday and today, hope it has been with you too. Both boys have had their sports days the last 2 days and we couldn't have asked for better weather. It's supposed to thunder and rain all day tomorrow.

    Gained yet more weight tonight. Really have to try to turn it around before none of my clothes fit any more :(.
