Just lost a massive post!!!!

Thanks to all the messages you lovely ladies, it always seems your the only one having trouble and everyone lives in this happy bubble but its good hear (not cos your having trouble) that your not alone.

Had a good day, DH behaving himself, been to a party at local soft play and had a good natter. Went to garden centre for a walk around and have a lunch there, DS was beautifully behaved all day, a real star.

Saw a neighbour who lost her dad three weeks ago, poor girl is in bits, is it too late to send a card???

Lil me - glad you made the right decision re the meet up
Poohbear - good luck next week
Dusty - glad your better today and have enjoyed being out outdoors
Michelle - hope you enjoyed your farm visit, we all love going to ours
JillD - your doing so well to cope with all that on your own. DH never helped with my DS till he was about 6 months then it took a massive blow out. I'm with you, why does everything take a massive arguement?
Hugs to all havig husband (won't say dear) trouble, come and sit the corner with me xx

DH is in a lot of pain tonight with stomach pains, told him one more hour then I'm ringing the out of hours Dr. Said he was having a bath but can't hear it, better check xx

I have had a nice day - mostly spent in the garden. Good to see some sun, does digging manure into the veg plot count as HHE? DS1 and I have removed lots of stones from what was a long neglected and overgrown rockery with a view to re-building it as a scree garden. We are stripping out the old plants - splitting and potting them up to pass on to other people or re-plant. DH has kindly been making a picket fence to go round the veg plot to keep chickens/dogs off.

I have put the DW on twice, and dysoned the ground floor but that is it. I will no doubt regret this tomorrow but I really am shattered. Sunday, so my lie in, hurrah!

Serena - I have a few snowdrops out, plus crocus, cyclamen, 100s of primroses, various helebores, two very strongly scented honeysuckles, a couple of viburnums and a lovely pink daphne that my kind dad brought for me today all flowering nicely. I have done my year of watching the new garden now and am really enjoying starting to make changes.

I whizzed over the kitchen today and went to shop with my mother and out for tea. I did sort a cupboard and stashed a big box of empty jars inthe shed for jams and pickles next winter.. still eating our way through the 8 jars of pickled onions and 6 jars of piccalilli. I am hoping to learn jam! :eek:

I am now going for a shower and going to the pub seeing as I never got there yesterday..

Pigpen - meant to say thanks for your post, wow I never knew things were that bad between you and DH then. I must say the comment about your DS2 would take a long, long time - ouch. Mine says that too ' I didn't mean it like that' so thats alright then isn't, you say what you want as long as you don't mean it. Caught him today using a not nice tone towards DS and made sure I pulled him up straight away after you made the comment about ypur DH shouting, I what to stop that before it starts. Hope your better today after your migraine and enjoy the pub, thanks again and have a vodka (or 8) on me!!!

Oh and my HHE was climbing up the stuff today with DS and have ironed 2 loads of washing this morning for flying plus the usual S&S and tidy!

lil_me

**switches off lights for pigpen** enjoy your evening

:rotfl: as for the reason why I didn't see him again, I don't actually know...think we overstepped the friendship which made it feel awkward...but anyway he seems to have vanished again saves me thinking of !!!!!! to say without being horrible.

DS1 up with the 11th nose bleed today, oh what fun!

Destiny we do this every day (well during the week mainly) so that we don't have to do the huge 4 hour cleaning/ironing stints, well that is the plan, little and often, doing an area a day (aswell as general cleaning like vacuuming most used areas, washing up, wiping kitchen etc daily) if you would like to join us you are more than welcome, new lists are posted on a Sunday night ready for a Monday with the link in here.
