DH committed suicide on Saturday, rang Samaritans, not helped.

[RubbishMantra]

Anyone there? I 'm a bit done in. We'd been married less than 2 years. I got him a dollar bill folded into an origami carp for our 1st anniversary. He hanged himself. We didn't have DCs, but we have 2 beautiful cats. Sister flying in tomorrow. I don't know how he could leave me and our 2 little lads (cats)

...She rates herself for it too...

Goodness.

She was lucky your DH didn't floor her. (In my family she'd likely have been hemlocked or something - but then we're an ......exuberant bunch.)

Sorry fluffy - I don't know why I typed MIL!! Dopey me.

Mantra - that's repulsive, isn't it?! How can people be so unaware?

Oh unless they have SN, I suppose.

Had an encounter at the swimming pool on Weds - DS1 was having his lesson, DS2 and I were watching when I realised DS2 was on the stinky side (the gathering flies helped me realise) so went to change his nappy in the changing room. WHile wiping his pooey bum, a 7yo child came in and said "Urgh!! No one needs to see that!" So I said "well don't look then!" Then his gran and sister came in too, and he started to get changed for swimming (he has SN, I know him from dancing) and Gran suddenly shouted at him "OH L!! NOT AGAIN!". He'd poo'd in his pants. I lent her a wet wipe because he'd obviously done it some time previously and couldn't wipe clean with toilet paper.

The irony (if that's the' correct word) was not lost on me!

Ah, the sweet, sweet smell of irony... When Little Monsieur was, well, little, I used to pick him up after a visit to his litter-box for a quick sniff of his "intimate area", to see if a swipe with a wet wipe was needed. I got that tip from Mumsnetters, who used their sense of smell to ascertain whether a bum change was necessary, instead of having to investigate the whole underpant region.

Mantra I haven't seen you around for a while. Are you OK?

She's posting in the Other Place, Aramynta.
