    Not so sure DD1 is very impressed with my organising!  I think he’s slowly sorting it out.

    It’s another rainbowy type of day. We’re going to go for a long walk but it’s very showery. Just waiting for this current one to blow over then I can get the log splitter going and chop the last of the sawn logs. 
    DS2 had a meet up with ex gf to exchange some stuff, I think that’s helped. Just need to give it time and get him to come off social media!  
    DS1 hasn’t heard from any of the viewers from last night.

    Nothing planned for today. Yoga is on but the roads are an ice rink so doubt very much I’ll go. I need to finish Morrisons order, wrap pressies and chop a load of logs and look at money now that all the DDs have come out.

    I am so angry and disappointed. I asked OH to look at the car insurance as we’ve now got a multi car policy, due for renewal this month. I thought it was the 6th, just glanced at the paperwork and it’s the 2nd. Needless to say he hasn’t done it. When I pointed it out was told it’s not the end of the world, it’s only insurance. He doesn’t seem to understand, it was 1 job out of a multitude of jobs that I automatically do. 
    I sent him a link the other day to an article I read about a wife getting divorced over the fact that her husband left glasses on the top, next to the dishwasher. It was written from the husbands point of view and explained why she was right to do it. Ultimately it was all the little things that broke them and how he thought she should react. I asked him if he’d read it and he said no because he knew he was a crap husband.  I sit and try to save money and now really wonder why I bother.
