Aaargh bloody H He just dropped the dc back and accused me of having had a date because I was dressed up (I'm not I'm wearing trousers and a casual top )then said he knew I was lying when I said no I hadn't. Then he asked me for my postcode and when I asked why he needed it he said because he was applying for a council house and they need details of his partner. I said surely I wasn't his partner and he got arsey and wouldn't say any more. Then he called dd down to say goodbye and she asked why and he said "because I don't want to be here", I told ds to give daddy a kiss goodbye but ds refused so H said "don't worry ds I'm off to find someone who will want to kiss me" He is such a fucking child!

Ifeel BBLLLLEEEEAAAUUUUGHHH today no motivation at all

JKS there was a thread a couple of days ago about it, and I have always been meaning to buy some, so it was half price today so why not, hope it dosen't tingle too much

Please pass the slattern halo as HMHB has cooked brownies with DS then risotto from scratch which was gorgeous. DH v impressed! Then had brownies with ice cream.

kitchen needs cleaning again obv.

have had glass of vino during meal so am feeling merry, cue snooze in front of telly when the little darlings are in bed...

Hello everyone Will do a list in a bit, we have been out all day and only back for about half an hour.

Freaky - what a total prat. If you did have a date, what business is it of his? Are you thinking of filing for divorce or not just yet?

Plum - I read that thread with interest also Have fun!

Wasting - have a lovely meal out, and well done DS on all that walking

GoldenSnitch - have a nice day off tomorrow!

We went and took DN her present this morning, and then out for lunch and then shopping. New shoes for DS and then a 'few bits' in Boots which came to £60!! I nearly fell over.

Mmm well done HMHB i'm hungry now, we're having takeaway Indian tonight, yum.

I have been meaning to buy it for years I once watched a programme and she said you should never do anything without it, The rest I can't tell I keep that for hen night banter

Ali half price in Sainsburys

Plum - we know what you're doing, we know what you're doing

Glad I'm having this discussion after our thread was scrutnised

Ha we're not just boring listmakers

Thanks JKS.

I'm going to have to re-read Plums posts to get the low down .

Right, I'm off to bed. See you tomorrow.

I'm making Sunday lunch for friends tomorrow and there will be 3x3yo in the house. Wish me luck.

aha - geddit . Have a nice evening.

I did nothing at all today in the house except wash the nappies and take out the compost crock, have had a lovely day though
Oh, and we pulled down the ski gear from the top shelf of my wardrobe and tried it on, and it all fits - hurrah! Post-DS belly is perhaps not so bad as I thought. Could do with losing a bit before we go still though so serious diet and exercise from Monday!
