I know what I would do.

  1. Buy a 5 bedroom house so we all get our own room, big garden so James could have a dog.
  1. Get private medical insurance so we never again have to await scans and results.
  1. Buy Shabs a villa in Faliraki.
  1. Throw a big party for all my lovely lovely mad mums on here.
  1. Treat myself to highlights.
  1. Buy bags and bags of M&S choccy nuts!

Morning all.................at least I have you lot to talk too, me and H are not speaking..............again. I admit it was really my fault, my side has been so sore again, headache, just felt lousy. Anyway, made roast dinner last night and the potatoes were awful, his from the allotment, boys wanted mash and they wouldnt! Went all gluey. So I just said what a mess it all looked, and he snapped and said "mummys in a bad mood", gave me three of his awful dirty looks which I hate, I stood up and half hurled my supper at him, the cauliflower landing in his lap, he called me a bloody bitch, two kids burst into tears and we havent spoken since. I think the main issue with me was getting angry inside watching him drink, he is back to full capacity and it worries me something awful. I still worry that they may have missed something with me, though I should be reassure by the barium enema and full ct scan, but this diverticular problem is really getting me down. Also feeling weepy already about the end of another era, kids leaving our lovely school in less than two weeks. It will be another big change in my life, selfishly I am so dreading them leaving, I wont be going up to school with them anymore, I shall miss the company. H doesnt want me to find a job, it would be difficult anyway until we know how things are going with him, oh I dont know. The only thing I can think of atm is to do some voluntary time at school, the primary one, that way I shall still see people. I am a person who needs peole around me, our friends here all seem to have tailed off, not school friends, friends we have known well for over 20 years. I just dont want it to be like this, feel so fed up, and its my beloved Matthews 30 th birthday on Thurs

Shabs and FG did you get my packages?

Oh Trips - I can so identify with your post. Its such a worry when our precious kids go to High School. Im sure they will be fine especially as they have each other - even if they bicker at home they will look after each other all through their lives. Matthew is 30 this time???? Where did that time go to? I will light a candle for him in his honour and 'cheers' him. I feel sure that our children have 'found' each other and will celebrate Matthews birthday.

Im sorry but you made me ROFL at the throwing of the dinner!!! I really hope you swore in your lovely posh voice as well

Not received a package yet but there again there is no sign of the postman!

Not much change here, he had his lunch inside, mne out in the sun, normally he sits outside. Made an appt to see the doc on Weds about my sore side, its a real pain. I know the kids will be fine, thats not my worry, its me. I feel as though there is nothing left for me, I feel so lost. Life has been so up and down for the last 15 years, Shabs I know you can identify with that. I am just so fed up with it, I want to feel "normal" again and dont know that I ever will do. I need a job, something for me, out of this house, new faces, a purpose. I think H is being selfish not wanting me to find one, he goes out, works 2 days a week, or hes at hgis allotment, I am here. Oh what the hell is wrong with me?

h'lo, I'm waving in case I don't get a chance to post again.......going to attempt to catch up.......

frumpygrumpy · 06/07/2009 19:30

Aw trips

You, my dear, have plenty to feel pissed off about. I can't pretend to fully understand the full pain of losing Matthew. I do feel a horrible pain when I imagine it. His loss is something of its own. Its my little brother's 30th this year too.

H........well, he is his own self. Of a generation where tucking things neatly away meant smiling through gritted teeth on the outside. And faking it. You don't fake it, you are real and he doesn't match you on that basis.

In terms of losing you. That is wholly understandable. I feel like that a lot. I do get away and I do get bits of time away from the children but I am never, ever, ever, off duty in my head and that is the exhausting part. What can you carve out for you? I know you are saying you could volunteer at school, but will you be spending time with people who mean something to you? Its important that you spend time with people who make you feel the way you need to. Maybe a bit like Momma with her b/f counselling...... she contributes in a positive and valuable way and that gives her something for her. She gives and she receives. What will you give and will you receive what you need? What do you need right now?

Darling, I did receive your parcel, on Friday, I just haven't been on to say so. It was WONDERFUL I am a lucky girl. I will bring them all to the beach hut when the time is right

frumpygrumpy · 06/07/2009 19:31

Ruby, eyes better ta, but only better.......was hoping they'd be 100% but.........

HM its yourself! Glad you had fun and good weather x.

frumpygrumpy · 06/07/2009 19:32

Just for the record, I think I have decided to be a fat bastard little untoned until September. After that, I will take myself by the throat and sort myself out.

frumpygrumpy · 06/07/2009 19:33

northender!!!! where? where? where? I'm there........looking now........I go to Dublin this weekend, two shows, then Tuesday Hampden. Can't wait.

tkband3 · 06/07/2009 19:57

can anyone help me? (I think we talked about this already Mars and Hoochie, but I'm still wavering .)

frumpygrumpy · 06/07/2009 22:00

trips, this is for you it might sound sad, but its not, its a F* everyone song for moments you need lifted up

frumpygrumpy · 06/07/2009 22:01

I could have picked a better version. She really whacks it out on her LP, this is a little wishy washy. But its the thought that counts

shabster · 06/07/2009 22:11

Oh Frumpy I lurvvvvvvvvve that song.

My Dad wants that played at his funeral Goodbye party. He says it is our 'family song' - he reckons we all do everything she sings about

You took my breath away with that - not heard it for ages. xxx

shabster · 06/07/2009 22:17

For Trips

The words of this song describe how I feel when I am pissed off fed up....xxx

Sending massive hugs from chilly Bolton xx

frumpygrumpy · 06/07/2009 23:22

Shabs, my mum used to play it over and over and I think that is what got me hooked on it. Elkie Brooks has such an amazing voice and she's such a lovely woman too! Underrated, very underrated. I'm dragging my hide to bed, I'm not sleeping so well, a little uptight about all that I have to remember lately.

Last night I woke when the neighbours alarm went off at 1.41am(I have their keys, they are on hols) but then I realised it was a house further away. Then woke to strange noises at 2.30am and my blood ran cold as I could have sworn someone was moving about downstairs (its alarmed at night). Finally picked up the courage to take a peek only to see a torchlight and my blood ran even colder and my heart pounded out of my chest [scared shitless]. Then someone came in my room and I realised the noises had been coming from DT1's bedroom. She'd lost teddy Funny how sleep deprivation changes sounds and where they are coming from.

Anyway, must go and pretend to sleep for a while until morning robs me of my cloak. Night girls, sleep tight, long and peaceful x.

TeaSleepFood · 07/07/2009 08:23

What? Nowhere! And I haven't done noffink either! It wasn't me.

Now that's out the way, how the devil is everyone? I caught your round up thanks Shabs.

Also, looking at Hoochie's photos, does any one else think that TKB looks a teensy bit like Catherine Tate?

TKB how do you look so serene in photos? I usually look like I'm gurning!

DOes anyone ever met up on the South COast. I suddenly feel all left out - not knowing any of you in RL. Actually, that's probably a good thing I'm sure I'd be a big disappointment

My mum had the DTs overnight last night and DH and I went to supper at the local Hotel du Vin. It was heaven and he even got lucky!
Bit hungover now ...

shabster · 07/07/2009 08:32

Morning girls xxx

HarrogateMum · 07/07/2009 20:03

morning Shabs!

erm I mean evening!

I am pissed orf. Got a new bed delivered from John Lewis this mornign and they dont blardy well build it for you. Poor DH has been at work all day, come home, gone swimming, followed by a church fundraising meeting (dont ask!) and will be home around 9 for dinner (yes we eat that late) and then have to build a bed. he is having an op on his knee tomorrow so will probs want to "try" the new bed out too.....

PS my battle to give up wine continues to not work. Ho hum.

MERLYPUSS · 07/07/2009 20:13

I am sick of everyone cashing in on the 'Michael Jackson' gravy train. I am watching the tribute on BBC2 as the prog I wanted has been shoved off, and it's amazing for such a private person he had so many 'very good friends'. I dont know if this is being aired in aid of charity but it should be. I know if my 'very good friend' died I sure as hell wouldn't be adressing a crowd of thousands with witty anecdotes.
Rant over. Off to catch up.........
