    Grrr I hate back to school day, I got bitten, kicked and punched, he's gone without his jumper and now I am worried he'll be cold. No doubt things will settle down later in the week but DS1 must have looked like the child from hell this morning to his new driver.

    Anyway can't stop for long, have done loads but still MUCH more to do...hope you're all ok, will catch up later.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    OH is throwing wobblies all the time because he can't cope with having all his belongings in large plastic bags - and I'm not being at all helpful, as I'm hoping it will motivate him to fit the wardrobe as soon as possible. It isn't delivered until the 18th though, and before then I have to dejunk enough space in the garage to store all the boxes. Busy two weeks ahead I think. He's also having a few digs about me getting rid of all his car magazines - which he agreed I could. Every opportunity, he's said things like 'Oh, you really enjoy throwing things away, especially when it's MY things', or 'You haven't thrown away all of your stuff, just mine has to go I suppose...' Not related to your OH is he Tia??! I'm doing a lot of tongue biting, and being 'reasonable', but not for much longer...

    Does he leave home often enough for you to wonder if he has a second family? Honestly he sounds JUST like my Hubby! Is he doing the 'poor little hurt boy ' face in between moaning?

    Post 1000!!!!

    Well I have done nothing,nothing I tell you!

    I need to leave to collect DDs in half and hour. I have phoned up about dance lessons and the only option for DD2 is ballet, DD2 has a choice of tap, ballet or modern. Lady said we could go along tonight and watch a class. £30 a term (so £60 plus kit required). Still at least it in the hall thats only a 5 min walk from home.

    Packet of crisps and a roll scoffed but I have a sweet craving. Can someone sort tea out for me, I really dont want to do it!! Maybe a coffee will help:D
