    Aaaaarrrggghhh!!!!

    Sorry needed to let that out (warning rant alert!)

    Had a lovely day off planned today going out for lunch with OH, mum, dad, bro and sil. I hardly ever go out or am off work and kids were in school so thought it worked out well with us all being off at the same time.

    Anyhoo bro and sil changed their mind and said they wanted to go out for an evening meal instead so parents phone me and all plans changed. What annoyed me is they know I cant go out in evening with the kids (bro doesnt have kids) so I am all dressed up nowhere to go and they are all out. I dont know why it has wound me up so much as I have had 24 years of playing second fiddle to blue eyed boy so I should be used to it by now!

    Anyway OH took pity on me and took me out for lunch anyway.

    Ok rant over now - I will go back to happy and smiley now I promise x x

    Ps Hi by the way - hope you are all well x x

    was tonight's not a repeat? I'm sure I'd seen it before...

    I havent seen any of them as I am usually teaching on a Weds but college has broken up for two weeks so I was looking forward to catching the one with Sarah on.

    How are you today Skint? You found a good lift to snog that man in yet;)

    I only usually see bits of them as I'm running around like a madwoman trying to do homework with DS, tidy up etc but I had definitely seen the phone bit before and thought the childcare thingy rang a bell so decided to give up!

    feeling a wee bit down today actually - nothing serious - usually happy as single mum but just feeling that everyone else is part of a "proper family" and just spoke to exMIL who was lovely and that just made it worse.:o so not feeling like snogging anyone today.... will be fine tomorrow probably! Just all feel free to tell me how crap your OHs are today!:D

    Dont feel down Skint:kisses3: a "proper family" is a one filled with love and care and I am sure yours is.xxx

    I know some married couples who are miserable as hell and would be happier without each other anyway xxx
