JKS I thought I was missing an 'a' i n bargain

I think I might join you in a glass of wine I think have a glass full left in a bottle in the fridge

haven't progressed much today dd1 is in really funny form, its getting me down, one minute she is soooo happy and the next she is crying,
today it was because her hook thing in her new knitting set broke, even though dh has fixed it,

I'm hoping its her hormones, I think thats her way when she's upset about something but because I'm a lets make everything better person and shes hard to talk round, I just get fustrated,
then I feel guilty because I'm blaming her and it could be her arthritis [eeuuurrrghh]

Aww Pumpkin, poor DD. Is prob is hormones, how old is she now?

Wine all round??

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Feeling a lot better today. I think I am always the one to try & keep the peace, I can't bear people to argue or be unhappy. I also always think 'how would I feel if someone did that to me?' and expect others to do the same, except, of course they don't.

Was keeping an eye out for news of babies on here, but I see there is none so the exciting wait continues!

No list today as has been a funny day what with ILs arriving for christening, DH doing up bathroom & other bits & pieces. Looking forward to tomorrow though!

Just hope DS settles now, has gone through a stage of screaming when we leave him in his cot (previously almost perfect sleeper & self-settled up to this week

Enjoy your Saturday evening one & all!

Enjoy your day tomorrow Jenduck, hope DS settles

OH GOD, DD2 got her trumpet today and has begun practising........................ I swear the house is shaking

cc i FEEL YOUR PAIN DD1 GOT A VIOLIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO

OOPS Sorry didn't know caps was on, but at least I know you will hear me

Good morning all.

Working tday so will do list later perhaps.

I am absolutely fuming with DH this morning and can't wait for him to go to work. Sounds horrible but i am still too angry to speak to him. His apologies? 'I'm sorry that you don't want me to' and 'i'm sorry it has upset you' WTF!!!! How about a 'sorry darling, i should have listened when you said no' Fuck FUCK FUCK TWAT

Oh dear Spooky, Hope things get bettter soon

I have just told him exactly why i was upset and he said that he thought i might for old times sake??!!!! WTF is that supposed to mean? I told him to go to work

Oh dear SpookyA - hope he goes and you get some space soon.
I get so much more done when i'm first up, frustrating as i'd rather stay in bed (obv!) but then don't get things going.
