i've only been up an hour and already i feel angry enough to break things

[trinityrocks]

i am so angry and i don't know why. i have already shouted at dd1 twice and the stuff she's doing is my fault.the house is in a mess so she can't find her clothes, nothings clean i hate myself for shouting at her when I'm angry at me

Ok TR my advice to you would be to sit down, have a cup of tea and relax for 1/2 an hour (mumsnet is particularly good for this). Then just begin the day again

I hate it when the day starts like that! At least you know it is you being grumpy, I usually manage to convince myself it is somebody else's fault.

Is there something nice and / or silly you could do together till you feel less stressed out? Then grab all the clothes together, and stick some in the washing machine, quick!

I lost one of DS2's shoes yesterday... only bought the pair last week for £35. Assuming we don't find the right shoe, will also require a 35 mile round trip to buy another pair.

Anybody want to cheer me up?

Plus, a brand new shower hose fell off the back of the cycle trailer the day before. I have to go to Sainsbury's this morning & am wondering what I will lose on the way home from there....

I now know my cleaner is pinching my make-up.

And it is a horrible feeling.

Oh dear fqueenzebra the shoe thing really annoys me, they are so bl**dy expensive - I'm forever wandering around supermarkets looking for ones that have been discarded, so you have my sympathy

That's dreadful LJG, how did you find out?

oh sherlock thats awful. will you sack her? hope you find a new nicer cleaner

zebra, thats really annoying you poor thing, hope you find it

had a fag and a glass of squash now, feel a bit better
am thinking of something fun to do....ummmmmmmm brains not working well today
oh and the washing machine died yesterday morning, have to wait a week till the new ones delivered

I buy all my makeup (Clarins) in Dublin as my Mum used to work in Arnotts part time, so we still get 25% discount, plus the difference on the Euro makes it worth buying when I go home.

Last time I went home I bought foundation and few other bits, I bought an eyeshadow, shades of brown, and decided to keep it until my current one was finsished. As a By the way, I couldn't find my eye shadow brush yesterday evening, so decided to use the applicator from the new one,GONE, I put it in there at the start of the month, DS is only 4 and can't reach, and DH does not cross dress, that I am aware of, so I don't need to be Sherlock to work that one out, do I ??

Lockets a bit difficult as she is the Childminders daughter.

Oh dear, do you want to confront her? Would it be easier to let her go for some made up reason. I think you probably should get rid though as I think trust is really important with people who work in your house

Say you can't afford her anymore?

If I don't get this part time job I went for, then I will use the fact that I am not working to sever all ties.

What is really pushing my buttons is the fact that I know, but I can't prove it. IYKWIM.

We had a situation like that when money started going missing (large amounts of cash €50/100) started going missing from my very elderly granny's bag. the only person who had acess was her home help but there was no proof (apart from circumstantial). However as soon as it became apparant my uncle just faced her and said that she had to leave and that he was sure she would know why, which she did without objecting thankfully. Horrible situation

Good idea Carmenere, I keep thinking I will go up and look again but I know it is not there.

breathing have now had something to eat, just realised that I was starving so I don't think that was helping. Trying to start the day over, working well so far
Thanks guys

Thanks for what ??

I bloody hijacked your thread sorry
