he has been bedridden with flu for 5 days inc today. He is a notorious hypoghondriac but would deny this.
I rang NHS direct tonight as he said he couldn't breath.
they rang the ambulance not me. Paramedic thought it was pulled muscle from coughing but they would take him in.
SO I have had the crappest day ever, I am so mad if it's another one of his over acting episodes. DD 14mo is really poorly with cold. Ds 4yo is snuggled in bed. Do I get them out in cold car, frozen skating ring roads after 9pm to get him or do I make him get taxi?

I do actually feel quite awful but I did stick the kids xmas money in with his phone in a bag so he will have enough, and it will be quicker than me getting him anyway.
I lolled at herbie.

I spose I ask because he will be an a-hole about it so needed some reasurance.
thank you!

Get him to read this thread, if he starts giving you aggro.

Dear MrWhoops, sorry you have been poorly, especially at Christmas.
But stop being such a wuss, how do you think your DW copes when she is ill and in charge of 2 los?? You're not dying, be glad you're back home and the kids are peacefully asleep and have an early night.

TipsyFairydifferentID · 25/12/2009 21:01

he can get a sodding taxi.

PrivetDancer · 25/12/2009 21:03

taxi for mr merkin!

LynetteScavo · 25/12/2009 21:16

If the taxi dirver is wroking he really needs the money. Or doesn't celebrate Christmas. You are keeping the economy going by making him take a taxi.

Oh no, your poor SH
You couldn't possibly have known though.
Will they keep him in?

blametheparents · 25/12/2009 21:39

DH, obviously!

yes admitted. Had to laugh at the nurse who rang though. She said all cheerily 'Happy Christmas! Your husband has pneumonia!' And then apologised!

BouncingTurtle · 25/12/2009 21:50

Oh I'll let him off....

BUT if headn't been ill enough to be kept him you still would be perfectly justified in making him get a taxi!

Hope he gets well soon.
