Oh dont Rubester - my stomach is churning as it is - too much gin last night at my friends and too little food!!

Hi girls. House of frumpster continues to lurch from bad to worse. I am so stupid. Lsst night I sent my mum a text meant for someone else. It was all about her Much crying ensued. Much awkwardness. I was annoyed with her for inviting herself along to our nativity play today and complained about that in my text. Aside from that though, she is the route of many of my chats at counselling. And so there was a history to my complaint. Last night I couldn't sleep and felt physcially sick. Still can't eat much.

Shouldn't have happened. I am so annoyed with myself. DP said it was a good thing as otherwise I would never have broached any of it. just shouldn't have begun this way.

Anyway, the nativity was gorgeous and the DTs were beautiful. If I get drunk brave over the festive season I might email a photo of them to those of you with....... I was a proud mama.

Oh my love - wish things would improve for you. I once did that - a funny but rude text to a male friend and sent it to DH - he was less than impressed.

Come here and let me donkey scrub you xxxxxx

agh the pixi-weens are driving me to despair. ds1 been crying all evening with earache, nothing working so far.
dts/prince have hacking seal type coughs with dripping noses and fight for my lap all day. Having to drag the poorly ones out on school run. I have got my hands full, I admit it.

duckyfuzz · 10/12/2008 20:20

oh FG poor you, I hope it turns out for the best in the long run, but here's a glass of transylvanian pinot grigio to get you through the (hopefully) short term pain

life here is as hectic as ever, the DTs are 5 at the weekend and we're having a joint party with another set of twins in their class although on the plus side we have split the class 4 ways for presents!

a happy belated birthday toast to shabs (I have enough dodgy east european wine to go round everyone y'know!)

duckyfuzz · 10/12/2008 20:22

oh pixi sypathies wioth the cough, DT2 woke me up last night with her seal impression, its no fun and having to drag them out in the freezing cold is just awful

Have you stopped swooning yet Pinkfrog? God knows where youll put him............so to speak Its freezing here tonight, poor H cannot get warm, hes like ice, dread to think what our gas bill will be! Talking of bills our sky bill came in today, cover sky, broadband and phone. On the phone bill were big calls ie £7 a time to someone called Syntec UK Ltd. means nothing to either of us, almost £30 worth of calls! Tried to phone sky and their system is down? Anyone heard of Syntec?
Will be heading for my bed soon, aching with tiredness tonight..............actually feeling mildly sedated after a Tio Pepe or three!

pinkfrogsroastingonanopenfire · 10/12/2008 22:47

I will never stop swooning re: The Robmeister!!! Will google that company for you Trips - give me a couple of minutes. xx

pinkfrogsroastingonanopenfire · 10/12/2008 22:49

OMG Trips - there are loads of companys with that name in the title. Put it in google and see how many!!!

silentnightnotatripletinsight · 10/12/2008 23:05

I have just done that Pinkfrog and it is something to do with a telephone company, still do not understand it, so have sent them an e-mail asking who they are and what they have to do with SKY. DH is furious as its only me who uses the phone, but I honestly haven`t a clue!

silentnightnotatripletinsight · 10/12/2008 23:06

PF.........little parcel should be arriving for my grandson c/o you!

pinkfrogsroastingonanopenfire · 10/12/2008 23:12

pinkfrogsroastingonanopenfire · 11/12/2008 06:43

Good morning girls xx

HarktheHarrogateMumissinging · 11/12/2008 13:33

hi all. FG - I know how you feel - my Mum drives me to distraction too and its always been about her when I have been to counselling too, I am too much of a wimp to say anything though as I end up feeling worse even though I know I should confront it.

PS - if anyones sending pics of families I WANT ONE!!!

Trips I had a look at that Syntec for you - it looks like a network provider - could it be someone making calls over the internet (voice over IP calls?)

HarktheHarrogateMumissinging · 11/12/2008 13:34

ps me and DH still warring, it is really upsetting me right before Xmas. I need some hugs sending my way.

pinkfrogsroastingonanopenfire · 11/12/2008 15:08

Here you go HM - 1,000 hugs for you. If it helps at all me and the man who laughingly calls himself my better half have been arguing as well!! Its our 31st anniversary in March - IF I ALLOW HIM TO LIVE THAT LONG

frumpygrumpy · 11/12/2008 16:22

Sorry to hear it HM. You can my empathy and a giant tight hug. My DP and me are not really an arguing couple.............but last night it all broke down AGAIN (that must make argument 4 in 7 days).

Its such a busy time right now with plays/concerts/shopping plus we have walls coming down in our new house and it seems everyday some catasrophe ensues. Anyway, when I finally had my bum in bed about 11pm last night, had taken DTs for a wee and just grabbed a mug of tea and my book........ DP appeared with the laptop wanting to discuss a variety of things about noo hoose. My heart sank and I resisted entering into discussions. Next thing I know he's shouting at the top of his voice at me about how I never bloody want to discuss the important stuff and how he has all the responsibility and then starts punching the headboard

I didn't raise my voice. I kept repeating that we are a busy family right now and that that is not my fault and not his fault. I said I would not be blamed for us being busy. I said I do want to talk about it but not right now when I have been on the go non-stop since 6.30am. I asked why he couldn't say "fg, d'y think we could talk about this tomorrow morning, maybe chuck on a DVD for the DTs and do it over a cuppa". I kept repeating that I would not argue with him and I kept calm and quiet.

He shouted and bawled a good 5-10 minutes and bashed about the bedroom. I kept cool but I was shaking like a leaf. Read for a while (well, stared at a book to show I was not upset) and cried in the dark silently because I wanted him to know he would not rile me.

This is not normal for us. Its like the more counselling I have and for all the bits I manage to fix, the more other bits of my life fall apart.

I coudn't go to my appt on Tuesday as DP had to go to Birmingham with work and I had no childcare for the DTs (they only go to nursery Mon, Wed & Fri). So I had to move it. First appt.........26 Jan!!!!!

I haven't spoken to him all day. He worked in his room all morning (playing guitar at one point!!!!!!!!!), he was served lunch and went to the carol concert with me and DTs. He has gone out to post a letter.

I have done the school run, cooked, served and cleaned up breakfast and lunch and about to do dinner. Have done 4 loads of laundry. Took DTs to get DT2s haircut. Made all beds. Went to carol concert and worked hard at keeping DTs entertained (I packed a kit bag of books, raisins etc), I have also managed to do the online shopping for his parents and brother and sisters christmas presents. Emptied dishwasher and soothed DD1 as she is exhausted from her late night concert last night, concert today and dance lesson. And I'm now about to make dinner and make birthday cards with the kids for my mum's birthday. But I'm never interested in discussing the important stuff according to DP

I AM RANTING!!!!!!!! LISTEN TO ME!!!!!! Or don't if you value yourself

The problem is we are prioritising different things. Why can't he see that and just talk to me? [Bastardshitefacebigarsefuckwit]

Ooops, did I say that in this the season of goodwill to all men?
