I usually spend most of Saturday with DP, and I love it because he usually has loads to do and doesn't stop for the night until about ten, so we end up staying up late just to spend time together.

Today he spent the day with his son (who pops in and out all weekend, he doesn't not spend time with him normally, but they don't usually go out all day. Anyway, they went on some sort of adventure trail with other lads and dads, had a great time etc etc. Anyway, I was looking forward to him coming back, they were an hour later than they'd said, and when he got back and I went over to his house, my brother was ensconsed on the couch showing no signs of moving, and DP's son was still there, also welded to the couch.

I sat down for a bit, asked quietly what the plans were, and DP was a bit non-commital, "stuff to do here" etc. I kind of muttered what was the point of me going over if I wasn't going to see him properly and that I may as well go back home and see him when he was ready. I sort of grumbled out of the house (my bro and dss were busy nattering and didn't hear anything) and stalked off. I'm sitting on my own at home watching Breakfast At Tiffany's and kind of hoping he'll ring or come over but I'm nearly at the end of the movie and he hasn't chased me to say how deeply wrong he was not to give me his undivided attention...I am BU aren't I? But I just wanted to see him without everyone else and I've missed him all day and I think I have PMT and want to cry pathetically. My kids are off at the ex's and I'm on my own and feeling crap. Unless I can snap out of this then Saturday Night Kid-Free Madness together is going to start a bit frostily...

Come and slap me then, I can take it! What am supposed to do now? Wait it out and pretend I'm not bothered? Or ring and be cheery or what? I'm not normally given to sulking...

Actually this movie looks like that mad bint Liz Jones' fantasy- anorexic woman looks beautiful holding a rain-drenched cat and is enfolded in a hunky man's arms forever more...The End

I worked so hard not to mention the wet pussy then

Oh, I'm cheering up, aren't I? I might ring him now...

splendid plan, and do mention the end scene to him, damp felines might tickle his fancy.

I've texted him to see if the coast is clear and said sorry I've got PMT and I missed you today. Kiss kiss kiss, etc. Hopefully that is suitably contrite without flagellating myself. I shall drink more wine for a while...

Madame, I hope you have a nice night anyway- what a shame about the party though...

ah well, maybe its no bad thing, Don't know if I am up to West London media folk at the best of times....

No reply < ominous >

He isn't a sulker either, so he's probably tidying up or something and hasn't heard the phone, but if I ring AS WELL I will look more of a needy saddo than I am

Right, just got text back saying its ok, and my brother has left for work and he's dropping dss back home soon and will pick me up to give him a hand for an hour (got to clear a room for a new lodger- times are tough, eek) then we'll have a lovely evening.

So all is well- I'm just not sure how effective at tidying up I'll be with two glasses of wine in me on an empty stomach...

All is well, and thank you for snapping me out of it! Wine, chocolate and a little humble pie have restored the balance of the universe

Lovely.

Ds and I are getting evil dominos delivery. The joy. Then a lovely snuggle. Much nicer than traipsing round soggy london...
