    Hugs Michelle. My DH has disappeared to the allotment with his mate. He decided not to take the children and it's probably a good idea because they're both full of colds but i've got dd whittering in my ear whilst i'm trying to do my accounts. I know I should do something with her really but they can't be entertained 24/7. I've told her i'll do something when i've done the accounts. DS has been given free reign on the playstation which is unusual as he only normally gets 30 minutes. Funnily enough he's being very good!!!

    Right, September done - now to start October xx

    I've finally ordered my new cooker (the grill stopped working about six months ago and the rings are in a pretty bad way). So I definitely won't be cleaning the old oven......not that I ever did. I'm not having it delivered until 14th May because we're off work that week so DH will have time to disconnect the old one and get it out the back (they are taking it away) and then reconnect the new one.

    Hope it's OK, I hate having new things.

    We're going to celebrate that night with cheese on toast, I've really missed cheese on toast.

    Michelle go have that soak, sounds like you need to talk when a little less emotional explaining what you've just said to us, that he's doing above and beyond what he should be for nothing extra, he's being used, he probably won't like it when you say it, my partner didn't when we had the same talk about his previous employer but eventually he listened to me. Maybe it's time for him to either have an honest chat with his boss or look for something else? In my experience, it doesn't get any easier, the more my partner put up with it the more he was used. It's kind of weird discussing it especially with you being due with your second as I was several months into my second pregnancy when 'poop hit the fan' with DPs previous employer, but I had 2 years between my boys not 18 months.

    Mudbath, keep it up, you're doing great. Ear plugs? might help a bit.

    Hex pleased to hear you are feeling a bit better

    Pollybear, oh cheese on toast, I haven't made that since we moved :o why do people keep suggesting food and I end up really fancying it :rotfl: really bad for my diet....I like new things but always worried if it'll arrive ok, if/how it will work etc.

    Balls, DPs lost DS1, he's took off where he is, done a bunk, oh great! He should know by now you can't take your eyes off him for a second.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    :wave: Just popping in to say hello to everyone and hand out hugs to all who need them. Have not been able to keep up really as Im not well at the moment and we have had more family stuff going on. But Im going to be positive and change how I look at things.

    Realised I have tools at hand to help me feel better ie Reiki and EFT. So am doing this morning and evening.

    Have still been flying to some extent so house is not too bad. Have my brother and sister in law visiting soon so spare room due a visit. I have been keeping up with the thread when I can to see how everyone is.

    DD and I were out yesterday and we decided to get some things from Wilkos that were on £2 for 2 such as Lynx. Putting these away for xmas etc. So Ive got her going money saving now.

    Today Ive cleaned the bathroom and tidied the kitchen. Yesterday painted back gate and will do another coat when I can.

    Take care everyone. x

    DS1 found, was just about to drive there when DP phoned. Don't think DP will take his eyes off him again today as he sounds exhausted from running around looking for him. He just wanders off, his danger awareness is close to zero. When I was saying about spending time with them, the fact we've done almost nothing this holidays, he said 'why don't you just take them both out more often, you have a car?' after dealing with that I wonder if he changes his attitude?

    hex :rotfl: see that is what I need, more 'healthy' mentions, I had to fight with myself not to go and buy maltesers the other day. Pea soup, don't think I have ever had that :o suppose I should look for a recipe.......I'm terrible at making soups btw and tend to buy it...buying 'fresh soup' is something I've had to cut back on as it's expensive so maybe it's one I can try with some success

    boddy I wondered where you were hiding, hope everything settles down for you soon and you start feeling better. Sounds like you have a lot on your shoulders, we're all here if you need someone else to offload some of that pressure on to xx
