    Afternoon all

    Paid stuff done for the week. Bathroom half cleaned, I'll finish it in the morning.

    Need to get washing in, make our bed, cook dinner, take the boys to cricket training, water garden and then a checky pimms as a reward with an Anti H chaser.

    Missymoo, glad you are being proactive

    Piggers you love him (you said so last week) so even though you are stinging right now, reach out and tell him, you are creating stress you do not need.

    I thrive on it.. it fuels my flinging.. :p .. I do love him and that is exactly why I am so fed up today. I feel like a total moron for not being apathetic and not actually caring.. I made myself vulnerable again!

    Hi all x

    Fuming just went to do the dinner and our water is brown and has bits in it. I've run the taps for ages but no joy still the same.:mad: Did have a letter saying they would be working on the water but it's meant to be from Saturday. I've decluttered DS2 to the supermarket for some bottled water to cook and get washed with.

    Anyway today I've cleaned the bathroom top to bottom put clean mats down and have flung the rest in the WM along with the bath pillow which was starting to smell:o Popped out earlier and picked up DDs birthday cards and cake candles so I'm now sorted for Friday :T Went into my work to tell the 'boss' that my shifts hadn't been added to the overtime sheet and that there would be no cover for my holiday. Not that I'm particularly bothered as I will be on my jollies ;):D

    Piggers love your knittings its wonderful colours :T:D

    5 mins shelf declutter

    So just the shelf decluttering that didn't get done but I did manage a menu plan for the 1st time in months. Morning sickness has put me off thinking about food since January and the food shopping budget has risen to extortionate levels, so got to keep the planning going!

    Dinner eventually done and eaten by 7.30pm decided to go round to the supermarket for ice cream to go with the Apple pie for afters. When I got to the gate New next door neighbours daughter was having a seizure. Mum had phoned an ambulance, daughter came round and said she was fine just a bad hit! Think that means she's on drugs? Next thing blues and twos going outside thought it was the ambulance but it was 5 police cars/vans as the dad had gone mental, police put door in to get him and he's now away in the van!
    DD is petrified so I'm off to phone their landlord. Sick of it.

  • Evening all,

    ffpthat is awful, home is meant to be a sanctuary. pigpen when I'm feeling like that, I find it helps to do what men do, blame it on the hormones. Ride it out for a day or two, try not to punch anyone, and if you still feel the same you'll know it wasn't hormones. We do love our OH's (generally) despite their (sometimes many) faults and eccentricities. We think you are great anyway! You deserve to be in the next honours list just for the flinging! Dame piggers.

    Anyway, no fly zone today. Wm and dw, that's about it. Paid stuff followed by emergency school shoe shopping followed by swimming lessons followed by feeding family followed by children to bed leads to no flying.
    Might do a tiny bit now......so I don't ruin the flow

    pigpen - I don't know what to add to what others have said but am sending some choccie your way x

    Spose I should have a list ready for the morning ..................
