Lou - omg poor dp that's miserable, omg in the Friday night traffic. Sad

Extra bubbles for him I think.

Ninah - I was thinking the same, that romance you promised us will emerge as soon as you have a single bed.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 13/08/2010 18:17

ninah · 13/08/2010 18:17

Monty100 · 13/08/2010 18:18

Ninah - Grin I'll be needing an fashionable anorak by the look of it and wellies!

Monty100 · 13/08/2010 18:19

aseriouslyblondemoment · 13/08/2010 18:20

aseriouslyblondemoment · 13/08/2010 18:21

aseriouslyblondemoment · 13/08/2010 18:22

Monty100 · 13/08/2010 18:23

{snob emoticon}

Monty100 · 13/08/2010 18:28

OIC Rofl at dooock.

Ninah - somewhere warm hopefully, have looked at Croatia and Greece. I don't know much about Coatia holidays. Good reason to go.

ninah · 13/08/2010 18:35

Nearest I have been is Slovenia. Never been to Greece but my parents used to go a lot, Cephalonia mainly and cousins like Paxos

lou33 · 13/08/2010 18:38

ooh i love greece

dp is stuck in a rolling roadblock on the a3 Angry

ninah · 13/08/2010 18:40

oh no, poor dp
Turkey looks good too and again is non euro

Monty100 · 13/08/2010 18:43

Lou - what a rotten place to be.

I like Greece too. I've been to Athens (fantastic), Corfu (ok) and a little island Poros (brilliant), which is one of the few holidays me and dp have had on our own, we loved it. Croatia appeals because I've never been 'that way' before.

mummyil-My exh is in the forces so hasnt had anywhere to live properly since we spilt 2 years ago. So when he is on leave he lives with his dad 250 miles away. But even so when he comes to see dd's he doesnt stay in my house, I couldnt cope with that he would drive me mad! He takes them to the cinema, swimming, indoor play areas, anywhere thats open really. I would suggest he do this with your dd's next time.

Monty-oooh get it booked :)

lou-hope dp gets back in one piece!

asbm-helloooo

eve-waiting to hear all about the date (although im not sure if it was tonight?lol)

ninah-lol at the statement bed! U wait and see as asbm says u will prob need a bigger one again soon now you've done it!

Another one who's dp is sat on the motorway, and he is def working away next week so after this weekend I wont see him for 2 1/2 weeks :( seems ages that, but i suppose I'll be in spain for most of that time Grin

Monty100 · 13/08/2010 18:45

Turkey doesn't grab me funny enough. No reason, it could well be there, just somewhere warm, I'm not too fussy. Grin

Monty100 · 13/08/2010 18:48

Betty - I agree about mummy's exh taking dds out. You did right. Oh lovely, you're off on hols. Grin

aseriouslyblondemoment · 13/08/2010 19:01

aww you've got it BAD betty lolWink
hols sound fab tho esp with our wash-out august here
bet eve is busy preening lol
i wonder if she'll remember lou's suggestion of only shaving one leg!Grin

mummyilubyou · 13/08/2010 19:14

thx all, feel better for some fresh air if nothing else

Ninah, what ASBM said with cloggs on Grin

that's what I keep thinking, should give myself a break as can't be superwoman and actually just doing ok for the DDs is not bad for a start

XH is twunt but maybe is me should stop reacting to the control bit and let it wash over me - if it doesn't get to me then no win for him. I am a well-known control freak Blush

what tends to happen is that seeing the DDs makes him sad, he then blames me for feeling sad as I sort of represent a focus for his blame/anger - he can't turn it in on himself or he would fall off a cliff, far easier to project onto me. So I get moody grumpy bugger hanging round the house

I will give him another week and if there is no indication he is getting his act together then I will prod, hard. I've even offered to write out a list of my 'unreasonable' behaviour so he can divorce me if it helps him save face and get a bit of a move on (e.g., there are 2 ways of stacking a dishwasher/making a bed/packing a car for hols/etc/etc/etc, my (right) way and his (wrong) way, see I am the wife from hell Grin)

Monty, I wfh when I can but nearly always on a fri as it saves me me the madness of the commute/long distance to see customers. I find by Thurs I am dropping with it so it works ok. But I had got used the last 6 weeks to him not being here on Fridays and today was a shock to the system

BUT, sun is now shining here and there is a fabulous double rainbow across the valley so y'know, could be worse

off to put the DDs to bed, then bottle will be well and truly cracked

Lou, hope he turns up soon and please could you come and run me a bath too lol

lou33 · 13/08/2010 19:28

he got here about 20 mins ago Grin
