Frulgaleers - Jumping into June

We filled up the last thread before we did a new one!
Hope you find this !

Thanks Christmas, I didn't know that. Being a GP sounds a bit of a rollercoaster.

I made butternut squash risotto for dinner and it was delicious. Even the dc liked it

GP's are awesome they do so much but they get a lot of shit because poor old Simon with his sore throat, which he's only had for two days and made his mum phone for him, can't get an emergency appointment the same day which fits in with his job

Oh dear! It must be tricky handling all those people with all their weirdly conflicting demands, when all the people are blithely unaware of their own and other people's contributions to the day.

I never know whether my questions at the GP's surgery are too daft to bother with or whether I ought to have gone years ago.

Sunny I always say if you're booking a regular appointment you can talk about whatever you wish, but if you're asking for an urgent on the day appointment then it really needs to be something acute that needs sorting by a gp (rather than self care/pharmacist) that day

I think I hold back a lot from visiting the GP Sunny as I don’t want to waste their time with viruses etc. But then when I eventually went with DS’s cough they said it was asthma and needed treating. So you never can tell - I guess that’s why we need them

Not that I can get DS to take his inhaler properly for love nor money 🙄

The children are still at war.

£50 for the Cleaner today and £5.60 on bagels and a huuuge tray of strawberries. Which might mean I can have a few myself instead if them all disappearing down the DCs.

PILs gave DH a cheque yesterday to help with our extra care costs (due to my slipped disc), since they are too far away to help with the kids directly. So lovely of them but I’ve been too polite to ask DH how much it was for 😂

Sea I just got four strawberries! So exciting

Wreck that's a good way of looking at it. Our GP only releases appointments on the morning of each day anyway, and there are always lots of them, so I just book on whatever day I'm free to go. also because if I book in advance I spend days stressing about it and then chicken out and cancel the night before

So. I’ve told dh that I’ve made an appointment to speak to someone. He rolled his eyes.

He has just spoke to me like I’m absolute crap in front of mil. Who is here for dinner at my invitation. really trying to make the effort I told him flat out to never speak to me like that again. His excuse? He’s tired. Ffs.

Anyway. So far this evening is all good. Mil has bathed ds and fed him dinner. He thinks she’s funny.

I’ve stepped back and twitched while she bathed him. Usually dh does bathtime. But ds is massive and mil tiny so she’s basically holding a slippery naked half of her!

Em I'm pleased mil is behaving. I think it's a case of keeping your friends close etc etc and dh is being a twat but you know that. Everyone has their rough patches, dh and I not so long ago, you probably remember me moaning loads about him also sorry your mum isn't being supportive, is your dsis?

wreck I’m sure dsis would be but I haven’t told her. As far as she knows everything is fine. She had a date on Friday and is pretty high from that still!

Dm thinks she’s being supportive though. “Just do whatever dh wants” “you need to compromise” “marriage is a team sport but only apparently if one player gives in to the other“ etc

Agggh em. Your DH is being an arse. Maybe you should do plan B and you go and stay in a hotel until mil is gone
How many days until she leaves?

Thanks all for all your kind thoughts and I may pm you seacow if I have any questions once my dad has seen the GP. I really am preparing myself for worst case scenario. My dad will probably be gutted that he won't miss the World Cup though.

This evening I finished cutting the grass and sorted out a £60 refund due from my furniture dropping in price between order and delivery. Trying to distract my mind is good for getting things done!

Ah I'm pleased for your dsis em! Humph no way you should put up with shitty behaviour.

Oh em sounds so stressful, I'm glad you've booked someone to talk to and hope your 'd'h sorts himself out pronto. I wonder if having his mum about just beings out the worst in him?

Popped into coop for a few food bits £11.

If I did whatever Dh wanted I’d be constantly cooking pizza, pouring whisky and wearing only white knickers.

It’s just not feasible.

So, £10 superdrug. Free delivery & 18p cashback. Two huge bottles of shampoo, slightly more expensive conditioner & facial sunblock.

£27 work supplies.

Tesco are doing mangos & avocados for 49p.

I think it does if I’m honest. He’s super on edge.

Mil and ds are reading a bedtime book. Ds is taking control. He keeps trying to eat the book. They’re reading mog the forgetful cat.

She leaves 8am Saturday. I’d say we have cleared the air. She’s been more her “normal” self. As in how she was before I said no that first time.

Oh if I only did what dh wanted we’d just sit on the couch and chill. Not even “Netflix and chill” just actual chill.

We’d also only eat sandwiches.

We would never eat any fruit of veg and would live on pizza and steak with chips the dc would also never eat anything healthy as dh is so lazy when it comes to things like that.

Fluffy you could do yourself serious harm cooking pizza in only your knickers!
Love sorry to hear about your dad.
Em glad you're going to speak to someone, this has been brewing for a while hasn't it? Good luck tomorrow.

Worked this morning and then did a Booths shop & an aldi shop. Aldi is definitley getting more expensive. £100 total but that should cover all this weeks meals and some of next week too.

I’d totally go round fluffy pizza and booze in my pants?! Amazing!

😂😂

It’s ok, I’d use the bbq mitt if it ever happened.

On top of my expensive Betty’s spend I’ve spent £7 on wet shoes for ds, 18 on a cover and screen protector for new kindle. £10 charity donation £6 birthday card for boss from the team, vitamin c and coffee sachets for work

Em have you got any further with dh having counselling of his own (don’t answer if you don’t want) but it sounds like he needs to work through some issues

Fluffy

Good for you, Em, taking that first step. I had some counselling recently and I found it helpful.

Spends:
Yesterday - £20 Dominoes. Our half-term treat!
Today: £4.41 Co-op and £4.40 bus fares.

Ok so thanks to some googling it turns out it’s not a new new build - the whole place looks really new, the streets must be very well maintained as it was actually built 2011! So still pretty new but must have at least one previous tenant. It’s in a little terrace of 5, all HA.

And thanks to some messages from Laska I am pretty sure I have the plans.

Now my maths skills are placed firmly in the theoretical 🤓🤓🤓 and I have no idea what the numbers actually mean in real terms 😳😳😳. Can anyone clever explain please?

Loads of storage cag! We don't have any storage cupboards downstairs it looks like it's set out really nicely
