I want to cancel my skype and also facebook. I have googled. Sorry, I can't work out how to do it. I need to get rid of them both. Please, can anyone guide me what to do?

Oh my goodness!! Words fail me. That's really stressful :(

What does she do if you challenge her? Or are you afraid of the reaction if you do?

NotGeoffVader · 08/06/2012 22:57

I agree, that is really stressful.

Mosp has already asked, so I shall await your answer, Mrs Snap.

At least it's nearly over and you can return to normality soon.

MrsSnaplegs · 09/06/2012 04:30

If challenged she denies having done or said whatever it is and acts offended
If challenged at the time then will either strop like a 2 year old or go down the " I was only joking route - cant I say anything now? "
Currently awake as she failed to consider my 18mo baby when booking this flat - no travel cot so he is in bed with me and currently sleeping diagonally across the pillows Grin

mosp · 09/06/2012 11:03

Oh snap, I have no idea what to say. I would be so rubbish at dealing with a situation like that! Can't cope with conflict at all. I hope you get home soon and space to think about what to do.

I am destined to have a bad day; only slept 3 hours last night. Right now I'm ok though. Sitting in bed with my lovebird climbing all over me :)

MrsSnaplegs · 09/06/2012 13:59

Mosp hope your day has got better Smile
I am freeeeee - on train with kids on way home - £75 and 2 changes with bags and buggy but worth it Wink

NotGeoffVader · 09/06/2012 14:12

Hoping you're both having a good day. Cat is getting old and frail and pissed on the floor again. Cleared it up, had breakfast - DD kicked my arm and my breakfast went all over me, and all over the floor.
By the time I had finished feeding her and cleaning up it was nearly lunchtime. Prepared lunch (thought I'd try her on French toast as she normally spits egg out), to discover the cat just pissing on the bit of floor I had just cleaned. Aaarrrrrrrggggghhhh!! Angry

mosp · 09/06/2012 21:37

Snap - yippee!! You are freeeee :). Hope you are now at home and sipping a comforting drink.

Geoff - poor you! Your description of the goings ons is hilarious though. Seriously, if I was near I would come and help.

I was relaxing and letter writing just now, but dd2 has asked to use my laptop so I'm going to read in bed. I am shocked that I'm not tired yet.

NotGeoffVader · 09/06/2012 22:41

:)

Had a better evening although DD didn't want to go do sleep...but when she finally dozed off we had a takeaway, and sat and watched Pirates of the Caribbean. Most enjoyable!

Going to try shutting the cats out of the lounge tonight, and leave the bathroom open. At least that way if there is anything on the floor, it will be easy to mop up.

mosp · 09/06/2012 23:16

Not too long ago we looked after a friend's dog. Poor thing must have had a big because despite a long walk and time in my garden before bed, it managed to poo in the night - right next to the toilet. It continued to poo every 10 minutes for the rest of the day! Yuck!

MrsSnaplegs · 10/06/2012 19:56

Mosp and Geoff Confused nice events for both of you
Well back home and trying to avoid thinking of my mother, away again from tomorrow with work for 4 days Sad
Trying now to Rehome the dog with 3 weeks notice as family have let us down at last minute SadSad she was supposed to go to SIL for the 2 years we were away but now they can't have her

NotGeoffVader · 11/06/2012 09:31

Oh, MrsSnap that's really annoying - why have they let you down? I have a friend who is a bit like that; she's great company when you hang out with her but about as reliable as the weather. Have stopped making firm plans with her since she dropped out of a girls' weekend last year (which we then had to cancel as we couldn't afford it without her input). :(

Today I don't have an exciting time planned. Floors to mop and clean, tidying up to do, little one to amuse, and 'celebration of life' invites to print/mail out.

Where are work sending you off to? I used to hate being sent away on business...it was always pointless.

Mosp, how you doin'? Grin

lovelymummy47 · 13/06/2012 14:15

Oh my Mosp you'll be ok, do not give up trying to get the therapy you need. I do no judge you as I have been there and I was in self denial till few weeks ago I did something silly to end my life, it didn work and when I woke up the following morning I ran to my GP torn into peaces and she was absolutely amazing. I opened up to her and told her all dirty secrets that were haunting me and she she reffered me to IAPT who had to screen my condition for CBT. Though, I can't promise that your GP will keep it all confidential (mine did not :( ) but all is almost well.
Pls pls do not hesitate to get help, today I feel very guilty trying to imagine my DD without me , how would she cope? Would she have forgiven me when visiting my grave?? No way! So pls try put yrself together like I did and get help.
Xxxx your are lovely and do not let anyone make you feel guilty whatsoever, your just a victim like I am and getting help is VERY important, not only for yrself but also for your sweet lovely kids. All the best honey.

NotGeoffVader · 13/06/2012 22:54

Welcome to the thread lovelymummy - sorry to hear you have had a rough time too, and sorry your GP was not good on the confidentiality aspect.
However, what is important is that you are getting help.

I am happy to try to amuse you with my tales of domestic chaos! :)

lovelymummy47 · 13/06/2012 23:16

Thank you Notgeoff, you could try to amuse me :)
Feel so horrible right now, my DH just got home from work and started shouting and mourning about everything. Warmed up his dinner only for him to literally step on me $ kick me and started going on about my mental health :( Oh Lord men are perverts. Why do they ill treat vulnerable women who have gone through a painful labour of their children :( :( my hand feel shaky, just wnna go to bed

NotGeoffVader · 14/06/2012 09:49

Lovelymummy - he literally stepped on you and kicked you?

Is he physically abusing you? If this is so, why is he 'D' H? What about the children, how many are there?

I am not at the PC for most of the day today (have to go and try to clear some more stuff out of my late Dad's house) but I'll be back later.

PM me if you want to, and I'll reply when I get home. Also please do post on other boards - there is one for relationships - so that other posters on here during the day can 'chat' with you.

I am contemplating trying to clear some of the garden, but I have a 50 minute train commute and don't really fancy travelling on the London underground with a pair of shears in my bag - although they could be useful if I am in a queue! :)

mosp · 15/06/2012 11:48

Sorry not been here for few days. For some reason, I couldn't face my own thread.

Went to GP today and he said he spent yesterday pm making phone calls on my behalf, and it transpires that because of our postcode we could have referred me directly 6 months ago! So, now he will do that and I'll be on the waiting list (no idea how long).

Lovely mummy please come back. Are you ok?

Thank you for your posts. Really appreciate.

OP posts:
MrsSnaplegs · 15/06/2012 17:19

Sorry I have been away as well and had a really bad signal
Mosp that is such good news - see worth making a stink Wink

MrsSnaplegs · 15/06/2012 17:19

Lovely mummy - agree if you are suffering DV we will help where we can but AnyFucker on the relationships thread is the best advisor

MrsSnaplegs · 15/06/2012 17:21

Geoff - I was in deepest darkest Kent not far from Margate - course was ok, top student and invited back as an instructor Grin

Dog pretty much sorted - breeder has found us a long term fostererSmile

NotGeoffVader · 16/06/2012 10:22

Mosp - glad things are moving forward. If you don't like this thread, why not start a nice new one with a more upbeat title so we can share some of the 'fun' experiences - eg. me mopping up cat pee on the floor, in my dressing gown, trying not to flash the postman when I then answer the door....etc.

Mrs Snap - at least Kent isn't too far. Last business trip I got sent on was to Cologne. Only to get to the office (I don't speak German) to discover that the thing I had been sent over 'to discuss' had already been decided upon my the manager in Germany. Two days wasted. Bah! Good to hear you did well and were invited back. Do you think you'll go?

I am currently kicking myself as I have just sent all the invites out to Dad's memorial, only to get a call from my sister to say I have put the wrong location on. Aaarrrrggghhh!! Now will have to send out corrections to everyone. Angry Why didn't I check with her before I printed stuff?

MrsSnaplegs · 16/06/2012 11:35

Geoff good idea we could be the mosp quiche Grin
I would love to go back but course alone is £600 and then I would have to pay for flights and accommodation so add another £500 plus I would have to come back to the UK twice for assessment. It's a really valuable qualification for me after I leave the military so would be stupid not to try and do it.
Lovely mummy are you still here? Are you ok?
Mosp - how long did the dr say the wait would be? How are things this week Smile

NotGeoffVader · 16/06/2012 11:40

Sorry Mrs Snap for some reason I thought you were in the UK. In which case Kent IS far! :)

On the pissy thread, was just fiddling with a few bits before going to have a shower (mopping floor where cat had piddled. Again) when I came back to find DD in playpen, only in her T-shirt, with a pee puddle.

She's now standing in her cot whilst I wait for playpen to dry out....

MrsSnaplegs · 16/06/2012 11:42

Geoff we are still in UK for next 2 weeks then move on 3 July
You're not having much luck with peeGrin

lovelymummy47 · 16/06/2012 14:00

Hi Geoff, Mosp and Mrs Snap, not realy well but I'm coping and trying to contol myself. Thank you for caring. Mosp hope your ok too, and don't give up chasing for your therapy session.
I am going through a lot at the moment so I will be off for a while, do forgive me.

NotGeoffVader · 16/06/2012 14:10

Lovelymummy - please take care of yourself. There are great boards here for both relationship and health/mental health issues which offer lots of support and advice if you want to start a new thread.

PM me if you need to, I can't say I'll be of any great degree of help, but I am happy to listen.

Please don't go for too long. x
