A big bl**dy moan - I don't do this often so please indulge me!

[soapbox]

Fed up sewing bloody labels on clothes.

Don't want the children to go back to school.

DS hates it so much and screams anytime he has to do reading- so really looking forward to the extra homework he will get this year[not]

On top of that I've got the meeting from hell tomorrow afternoon and more meetings all morning to prepare for it - I know they will all do my head in!!

Its five years tomorrow since my DF died and it still bloody hurts!

I weighed myself this morning and I managed to put on a stone on holiday- boo! Nothing fits me and I look like a huge fat heifer! I will have to go back on the LL foodpack diet which I'd rather not do, but it will shift it quickly!

I need to be away overnight this week for work and I hate being away!

On the positive side, DH has been fantastic all weekend, and has been keeping me topped up with regular cups of tea all day and the use of his broad shoulders

OK thanks for listening - moan over!

so much crappiness is in your life atm - but very glad you have DH's shoulders and tea-topping-up skills.

Hope tomorrow's not too difficult for you

Am sending you virtual fruit salad. I know that chocolate cake would be nicer, but I'm trying to be supportive.

Next year - iron on labels

Hope you find a little bit of time tomorrow to remember some wonderful things about your DF in amongst all your crappy meetings.

Moan away - you can let off steam here.

Mental note next year - LAUNDRY MARKER!!!

What sort of work do you do? Sounds stressful.

Life is pants sometimes.

Thanks so much for your replies - I'm feeling a bit better now I've had a couple of glasses of wine and hte children are in bed

At the end of the day, my life is usually pretty good and its just a tricky week to get through that's all!

Sympathy, sympathy. And extra sympathy for day packed with meetings - WHY does it work out like that? Hideous. Was often tempted to set the fire alarm off or something just as a bloody distraction.
