Can't sleep, marriage falling apart...

[Ineversignedupforthis]

Trying to keep it together for now. Major problems with massively entitled, passive aggressive oh, which keep coming up. Been going on and off for 20 yrs (the problems).

Have bi-polar, which is generally under control, but know I have to be careful, particularly during stress, when I can't sleep.

Am back in that cycle where I wake up at 4 in the morning, almost bang on, as if by alarm clock. Any thoughts? Any poor sod up like me?

Oh the excitement, page 8!

yes, and three of us now, all Northeners....

Oi, who are you calling a Northerner? I'm a Sarf London girl, or as they up here 'you're not from round here are you?' Once a Sarf London girl, always a Sarf London girl But I feel right at home here, my heart belongs to this place...

nose, do they say to you"Dont't be coming 'ere with your faaaaaancy Lunun wayzzzzzz"?

That sounds a bit too West Country - was it meant to be? Or a ref to something?

When I was first here, people called me petal or flower. As I got older they stopped doing it :( Don't know whether it has completely died out, if not then perhaps as I become a little old lady age, they will address me thus once more!

Just a bit 'league of gentlemen'....I think northerners do the 'love' thing a bit, round here its 'duck', which I resisted for a long time, I tried to call people flower and petal, but have got in the habit of duck now, having been here since 1989....

Anyway, morning all Isis you ok this am? I am a bit cross today...mornings are always a pita with dd. Won't go to bed on time, then won't get up, and is all tazmanian devil when she does. We have to be up by 7 to get out on time.

Ah, wondered if it might be L o G - only watched clips, too creepy for me!

We all call each other 'man', though.

"You're my wife nooooooow......" Really creepy. Makes you want to say it though, after you've seen it. What's that about, lol!

Hello to you both.

I've been painting in DD's new bedroom.
2 walls day-glo yellow and 2 walls high-visibility pink.
They may well be visible from space.
Thank goodness I don't have to wake up in there.

I am actually a southerner too, although I have been here for 37 years so am really a local now.
How old does that make me seem?

Blimey! How old is she? I'm guessing not a teenager or it would be black and purple.

My teenage dd has red and black...one wall is a French cartoon strip, black and white.

DD is 5.5 yrs old.
She adores pink and yellow.

Just finished the yellow walls and going back up to put second coat on the pink walls.
She's off school tomorrow so a day off for both of us.

Got the same issue Isis. Would have been ok, but got meetin organised, so will park dd in cafe with her ds.

Fortunately I don't have to work tomorrow.
We're going to live it up and have breakfast at morrisons!
It's about all I can run to at present, it's just as well that DD loves thier buttery toast.

Their not thier, I can spell really!

Course you can Isis! Have been to meeting, and city centre. Dd has picked her dress out for a wedding in Feb, which seems to be a corset with a belt small frilled skirt attached. She does look fab in it, but must wear a jacket over it and thick tights.

So will the jacket and tights come off as soon as you're out of sight?
Or will you be stood behind her with a gun?

I don't know how DD got so much in her old room, new one is twice as big and I seem to have filled it just with the stuff from the old one.
That can't be right!
I shall sort it out tomorrow, can't have a bedroom beating me!

Of course I now have another empty room for redecorating, I may just leave it til after xmas.

This room will be my study/meditation space.
My lovely so called friends are already calling it my 'spell room'.
I guess it will be used for that occasionally.

"Don't need a mum, need a keeper with a gun..." do you remember that from the Horlicks advert Isis?
Fortunately, I will be at the wedding with her....

Can you do a spell for me?

What do you need me to do for you?
There are lots of ethics involved in working for others, but if I can help I will.

PM me if you want to keep it private.

How was breakfast in Morrison's, Isis?

Have pm'd you Isis. Just want things to be reasonable, doesn't seem like a big Ask does it...?

Ooh 200th post! How exciting, I really need to get out more.

Breakfast was great, thanks. We had a lovely day together.

Parsley I've replied to your PM.

Good meeting, now got wig stands and everything! Attempting to chill, before making tea, and start the ferrying to kung fu and back.
