Xp finally agreed to having them every Friday night, until Saturday after lunch.

Just dropped them off, they were fine, quite excited, as they will all be sleeping in the same room.

Give it half an hour and I will be bored and missing them like mad.

My mate did say I could go theirs if I wanted to, but I fell daft sat there watching tv with her and her hubby.

We were going to go to the pics again but we are both broke, so I have just got myself a cheap bottle of wine and will probably spend most of the night on here.

Well I will have had my interview next Friday, so will be having a very big drink that night.

I'm 30 in a few weeks so, hopefully will go out on the Friday before or after that.

I keep thinking I hear Ds shout me LOL.

When my boys have a rare night away from me I've actually made it into their room at 3 in the morning muttering to them in soothing tones before I've realised its all in my head cause they're not there. Its really weird. Enjoy being you and remembering who you are. Start planning that birthday outing.

Perhaps this wasn't such a good idea.

have a long uninterrupted bath, get stuck into a book or soppy dvd.

Haven't got any books, and a soppy dvd will just make me depressed LOL.

Could do the bath I suppose, but god how boring, my mum has a more interesting social life than me.

Called my friend who had said I could go around hers and no answer so they must have gone out

Now i am just plain depressed.

No one to talk to, no one to go out with, no nothing.

Might aswell go to bed, perhaps I will have a life in my dreams.

Won't happen bellyup.

My one friend is currently supposed to be organising my birthday meal, which curently consists of me, her and my mum, plus a neighbour I don't even want there, but am so desperate to do something for it that I am just agreeing.

However, friend hasn't booked anywhere, arranged date we are going or anything, and knowing her organisational skills, we will end up either doing nowt.

Thb I am being a selfish cow anyweay cos i'd not be happy with a meal out with her and my mum anyway. Hardley memorable is it.

But i am doing what i do every night YG. My kids are all always in bed by 8pm anyway, so it is no different really.

The only difference is that I can get drunk and ont have to worry about having a hangover, but thats no fun on my own anyway.

I will do what I always do when it dawns on me that I am a friendless loner, and sit and cry into my wine.

Perhaps I will get a book from the library for next week.

allgonebellyup · 23/05/2008 20:46

oh nutty
your post made me sad..

are there any mums from school that you could go out with? or any mums you know from your kids after school activities?

myalias · 23/05/2008 20:53

What about having an early night get up nice and early and hit the shops, coffee and cake or go to the cinema.

CrackerOfNuts · 23/05/2008 20:54

No not really. Tbh most of the mums are older than me, and that doesn't bother me, but i think they think I am too young.

Most of the mums I used to stand with in the playground don't talk to me anymore anyway.

Even my mate that I am being bridesmaid, tbh only wants to know me when she needs me for a dress fitting or make up trial.

I have loads of friends when they need favours, but thats it.

Xp asked me 3 times if I was going out, and like an idiot I said I wasn't. He looked appropriatly pleased.
