But I can't as if I outed myself, I'd end up in a whole heap of trouble.

It's so UNFAAIIIRRRR!

Tell me what unfair things have happened to others today to make me feel better and we can have collective hugs.

DH won yet another argument about whether we have free will. I'm studying philosophy and should at least be able to win arguments in that domain Angry

I went to Hobbycraft to get something for DD and felt, as usual, like the most uncreative person on the planet, who, if she had a modicum of imagination could make lovely crafty things.

Two minor things... You sound tres cross, anything you want to discuss, even in a roundabout way?

Calloh · 27/09/2013 19:55

Well this isn't really unfair at all and is extremely minor. It's me being a shit mother but Mousie is missing. My 3 year old is in hysterics, that kind of haunting cry that initially makes you want to comfort but then makes you want to run from the house to a pub, any pub with wine.

I have got so much to do tonight and I've given up searching for Mousie as she could be any number of places, I am instead on Mumsnet wanting to bite chunks out of myself because of the noise coming from my daughter's bedroom, slightly feeling I have two children, a baby, a dog and a house that's falling apart to look after. Can't you, my lovely daughter, please look after Mousie.

I'm the one being unfair. But I just want the noise to stop and to tick a few things off my to do list. Aaaaaarghhh where the fuck is Mousie

Free will and craft - that is a wonderful combo.

i would like a bust of Plato which the DC had gone at with the glitter. I think that would look pretty good or maybe not.

Calloh · 27/09/2013 19:59

Empty it is so intriguing, is there nothing you can say in any kind of roundabout way or approximate of the situation?

ElleMcFearsome · 27/09/2013 20:01

Calloh argh Sad I still remember the trauma of losing Sammy (my seal) aged about 7. I'm now 36... Blush I suggest Wine

Also loving glittery Plato bust. Actually LOl'd. Had to explain to DH why I was LOL'ing. He was Hmm MN is weird!

Elle - I want to be creative too. I get so envious of people who are and I feel in my job I should be far more skilled at basic drawing etc than I am. lol

Calloh - I want one of those busts too. :)

I guess I could approximate the situation. Someone has said something very unkind about me (and very untrue) on a social networking site. It relates to my job (hence not being able to go into the full rant that I want to). My manager is in a position where it was appropriate to speak to this person and has done. I haven't got an apology yet it was me who was cyber-abused.

I was in tears over it on the day I found out (I saw for myself) and I want a bloody apology and an acknowledgment that they were in the wrong and shouldn't have said what they said. (Person didn't know at the time that I could see it but obviously it was in the public domain.)

Could ebay be your friend where Mousie is concerned? :)

Awww Calloh Junior - if all else fails I can knit a new mouse, I have various mousy patterns, including a fairy/angel mouse with wings and a tutu if it would help? PM me if you want one.

Calloh · 27/09/2013 23:37

I've just come back on! I think we'll upgrade Mousie to a sparkly Plato bust. Not sure how it will go with the daughter but should look pretty stylish being pushed a long in Mousie's old pushchair.

Can you really do that Pom? That is so clever, I will totally PM you tomorrow if Mousie is not found lolling in the garden! I

Empty that is so so so shit for you. You must be feeling pretty frantic with rage - particularly if it has been taken out of your hands by the manager. I hope that there will be disciplinary action of some kind and a full-on retraction?

emptychair · 28/09/2013 00:27

Thanks Calloh. That's pretty much how I feel but there can't be any disciplinary action as the other person is not employed by my company. I doubt very much I'll get an apology.

Shit ain't it.

Oh, my philosophy course starts next week. Its not fair that I don't have a sparkly Plato bust!

Calloh · 28/09/2013 07:42

That is really fucking shit. Times like this when you really need turbo karma or something as it's out of your hands. Poor you Empty. Surely no one would believe this person?

I just also want to apologise for the exclamation mark on my last post when I said "I've come back on " made it sound slightly wah/hey it's me. When I meant sorry to have been out of the loop.

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 29/09/2013 18:28

I can Calloh Grin
