Bit of a funny old day here. DS had a friend over. DH looked at the bees and they were going mad outside. Then DS's friends mum came to pick him up and got stung . It was all a bit stressful and I feel awful. It's my fault, I should have taken him home.

I'm having one of those few days of everything going wrong. Mini - I've checked me biorythms and it says I better not do anything for a few days .

Morning

Hope everyone had lovely sunny weekends.

Ipom i am so sorry. What a complete twat. He doesn't deserve you or your children. He will spend his life being hopelessly unhappy and you and your children will have a fab happy life

Freak i agree with Wasting, you have become such a different person since your split, in a good way! (well on here anyway )

Cikecaka well done on the abseiling!

Just a little rant (feel free to ignore!)

We got home at about 9ish last night (spent the afternoon at babyshower then at GP's for roast dinner) DH was grumpy in the car as he was tired - fair enough, i went to bed at 10, DH came up about 10.20, but wanted to read his book, i fell asleep, not sure what time he did. I had a rubbish night, was up 5 times to go to the loo, get a drink, rennies etc, feel crap this morning. DH's alarm goes off, and he takes forever to get out of bed (i could really do with him turning the radio off so i could get an extra hour sleep, plus DD wakes up when she hears the radio) He then gets up, realises he has an 8am appointment and rushes off, only shouting up the stairs that he can't find his keys, the arguing with me that they are not where i said they were - Because he had already put them in his pocket!! He was meant to move my car this morning, but didn't, so had to jump into some clothes and plonk DD in front of the tv, so i could move car while space, despite having loads to do before the plumber comes

Not important, but bloody iritating when you have not had enough sleep!

Anyway, 34wks today
