Uh oh! DD wants to go into town

Must be her age, I have no idea why anyone likes Saturday shopping, was bad enough last Sunday when we had to go, good luck!!!

Moggins, sounds like a lot has changed (DB too well done you) hardly believe speaking to the same person, I' sure you will find some way of improving things however, you inspired a lot of people on here to do just that.

I'll join you Julie (ok a smidge late), next box needs rattling through! (Kids won't play outside, grrrr, they'll want to be out when it's raining but did vanish upstairs when I sang :rotfl: )

poohbear my fingers are crossed for you that the treatment goes well, thanks for the advice, my partner has been unfaithful in the past several times and I find it makes him much more paranoid, probably thinks I am out for revenge or wonders why I can resist unlike him.

I hadn't really thought but I know my DH was unfaithful about 3 years ago. That will be why he is so paranoid!!

When I sow seeds I propagate them in the house on window ledges as our conservatory is not heated. Later, when it's a bit warmer, I sow seeds out in the conservatory. I usually sow some carrots in buckets/ huge pots in the conservatory and others in the garden.
We have eaten all the garden carrots from last year but have still got some in the buckets. They taste amazing. You probably don't need to start carrots off inside unless that is where you are planning to grow them as they are not easy to transplant (carrot root fly).

I have been offered an allotment in the village. I will have to see how I get on next week. It would be lovely to be back to full strength again.

Well that was a heartstopping moment! Doorbell rings, and there's a policeman standing there. Doesn't your mind just go through all sorts? Are the kids alright - who's died etc. etc.

Fortunately, he was just trying to find out who a particular car parked in the street belongs to so it was nothing personal.

Used to happen to me all the time but it was DH and his workmate on a tea stop! Would to frighten the life out of my friend and neighbour though. She'd see the police car and think it was bad news until I told her why they were there! Always said don't worry, if it's the marked car it will be DH. The time to worry is when it's an unmarked car and you don't recognise the officers. Unfortunately they did arrive in an unmarked car and knocked on her door trying to find me

Sorry to hear of the PITA OH's out there. Hope everyone is friends again soon. I have written letters to my DH before when I knew we'd end up arguing. That way I could get my point across without being interrupted! It also helped in so much as I got a lot of the anger out of my system merely be writing it all down. Acted as a starting point for a proper adult conversation.

LG great news about your Dad being home

Lil_me I have a male friend who I would have gone out with me if I had said yes but I never did as we were good mates and I didn't want to spoil that. He always respected me for that and years later we would meet up occasionally but I always told DH so there could be no crossed wires. In fact he ended up being Godfather to A and really good friends with DH as well. Think it has to be a gut instinct thing, would it upset things at home, would you tell DP you are meeting and if not why not etc etc. Always a dilemma these situations.

Didn't do as much as I would have liked - just cleaned the bathroom - the floor mainly as I never got round to that on Monday. I feel a bit offside again though so I think I might just have a bit of a sit down. DD decided to bath her doll on the kitchen floor so she is currently drying the floor with a towel. DH and DS have nipped out to get some food so should be back soon.

LG - no, I wasn't feeling poo before I had the row with DH yesterday - to be honest it's the only thing we argue about - how he loses his rag with DD so easily.

Moggins - your DB sounds like me! - I'm quite fussy with my food but we manage. Before I met him, DH used to buy a chicken, eat the legs and wings himself then give the breasts to the dog as he didn't like that bit!

AnWsMum I know what you mean, I miss him as a friend, but only that, never know he might have got the hint last night (I kept going on about DP to make sure he understood) and disappear for months again. That's I suppose what is standing out to me, he's reappeared again and I think it's things are not going right for him/his partner.

poohbear thanks for the carrot info - Oh bother, right, I didn't know that it was an issue putting them out (well actually I don't know much when it comes to gardening!) well I was going to grow them in the long pots/planters I have as I can't dig up anything here (hence trying to think of a few things I can do in pots), short but sweet is the thinking, so maybe if I start them in those inside then put them out in the same ones, right, head is round that bit now. My conservatory isn't heated and still chilly on a night too, maybe a rethink on that one aswell. Bah, back to the planning stages! Wish I was good at this/had a clue!

In my last HHC I managed to get the kids outside cleaned up poop, brushed Megan, vacuumed downstairs apart from conservatory because I forgot and sorted through one more box. Suppose I best do another box now, it's mainly junk and I can see me having to do a tip run on Monday because the bins full. (Oh and ate a slice of cake mmmmm!!!)

tiamai_d

I'm bored and avoiding the kids room....

juliejim

DH's back so I think I'm going to go and have a lie-down.

AnW'sMum

Ooooooooo cake, any left lil_me? Got :coffee: :coffee: here

lil_me

I've got coffee too, all the cake left apart from the slice I taste tested (incase I poison someone of course) as the kids have no idea I've made it might hide it and keep it a secret!

**passes slice to AnWsMum**

And pigpen I've took a photo but my chuffing bluetooth thing won't work at the mo, will post it when it works!

My motivations gone, started feeling yakky again, stupid cold, swallowed some paracetamol now which hopefully will work soon and I can crack on again. Want it all done by tomorrow night....still loads to do. I'm wondering if I am doing it just to avoid the kids rooms too, saying that you can walk round in there now so is much better. Boys have come in, too cold, wimps.
