Saw an interesting article recently, not sure if it;'s a help or a hindrance

Thank you taff, I can really relate to that article, everything the woman says resonates with me, apart from Mr SA isn't aggressive thankfully. It's so hard when they turn into a different person.
Working from home today and he's driving me nuts shuffling backwards and forwards, asking what's for lunch earlier and now dinner, I keep losing the thread of what I'm doing, he just doesn't take it seriously. He's spoiling the joy of working from home for me to be honest. In the new year I must get round to clearing the spare room and turn it into an office, then I can just close the door.
In other news the washer is finally being repaired tomorrow - not celebrating until it's done though. I'll believe it when I see it.
Just going to do another hour then I'm going to Kettlefit.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
You need a room you can lock Mr SA into while your'e working! Or a playpen :rotfl:.
Enjoy kettlefit.

I was the only one at Kettlefit tonight, it was the same on Sunday at Insanity. Great for me getting one to one tuition but if this keeps up the classes will be cancelled
Mr SA has discovered two pairs of boots he forgot he had and is over the moon. I remember him pestering for them at the time - he only wore them a couple of times before declaring them not right.

Happy Friday
Washer is fixed :j Happy days :j Made a start on the washing mountain. Noted that most of it is Mr SA's.
Went to Lidl on the way home from work for the Super Weekend offers and a few other bits.
DS and the GKs coming again tomorrow, that's 3 weeks running. I love seeing them but sometimes I'd like a free Saturday.
Warmer here today but has been mixture of sunshine and showers.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
:eek:I did indeed post on the wrong thread last week and have just noticed
when I said about settling into a new area it was meant for Sunshine Girl 2 - sorry
No idea how I managed that one :rotfl:
Pleased to hear your washing machine is up and running again. Enjoy your gks tomorrow but I can appreciate you wanting a free Saturday.January spends - £587.580 -
I think I'd be inventing an appointment for the next Saturday they phone to say they're coming over. Let them all keep OH company whilst you go out somewhere and have some peace.I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy0 -
Ho SA - finally caught up with your diary. I'm so sorry that Mr SA has been so tiresome lately. Can only agree with Robin's excellent post a couple of pages back. And I agree with Crystal - it might do the family good to keep him company for a couple of hours. You sound close to your DS - could you have a quiet word with him and explain that you need a break occasionally?
I bought the Miguel Vegan book too - I agree it's excellent. Re. your egg aversion - My DD is exactly the same - been so since a little girl so totally get where you're coming from.
Have a good weekend.
