Farming and car washing.

Am sat in my car with dozing LO. DH and DD1 are at the shops. Had a shite night, just insomnia.

Argh put J to bed last night at 8 - all fine. Scoffed my weekly dairy challenge (a twix yum) by 8.01. Then mortified as he reflux coughed ALL night. He was up coughing for half an hour at 11 and then from 1 to 6 every time he nodded off the reflux cough woke him. DH was with him from 2 to 6 so I could sleep. But all the time I'm feeling super guilty knowing this week's dairy is about to hit..... He's coughing during the day now . Word to the wise - dairy challenge when teething - DON'T!!!!!! He can handle once a week for 5-6 weeks but combine it with teething and his system gets overloaded. No dairy for me til he's weaned now. Yawn.

Zamboni give it a couple of weeks minimum and try not to let butter slip ups (its so easily done!) happen as you may not see an effect - keep traces in but try to avoid the major protein sources (cheese, yogurt, milk, butter). Good luck with the nebuliser!

bp sorry to hear of your dh. I can imagine how stressy it is. we would be absolutely fucked if dh lost his job. I hope it all works out for the best for you.

pass how horrible. It's hard to do anything in that situation. A man who spits at his wife in public would not think twice at doing the same to a stranger trying to intervene.

I went out with the girls last night and despite having too many shots of tequila rose I am feeling good today. About to go in the garden and help DD1 and E do some planting in the area I have put aside for them. Then swimming and think I'll watch a film with DH once kids are in bed. Oh I forgot, i'm babysitting my niece tonight. She's sleeping over for first time so may not get to watch that film after all. Hopefully she'll sleep ok!

Pass house viewing????? Property porn on FB please

VQ I think the potential new Crisps Towers is for sale via a pal so it might not be on Rightmove?

We went to the main square and I let o run wild and play with whoever she wanted to play with. Met up a friend too and had ice cream. O fall asleep on the way back home on the bike again. That's a magic bike seat I think.

She is napping and will go to playground in the afternoon. Tomorrow we are off to my parents.

Pass I think the only thing you could possibly have done is to slip her your number in case she needed a witness. But that would be immensely difficult to manage, and it's highly doubtful she would take you up on it - and she'd probably be punished by the man for whatever spurious reason he could think of

Music this morning went well, first Saturday class had 2; both mums, one I already know and one stranger :o R is down for his nap now then we're off to my folks' to play in the garden!

Thanks YW and apologies for the bombardment of Q! Have bought olive oil spread and will bin the butter/marg so no temptation.

Zamboni just check the ingredients - most olive spreads also deceptively contain milk. I've only found pure and vitalite to be dairy free

Pass, that must have been a horrible thing to witness. I agree though, there is nothing you could have really done in that situation

My weekend will mostly be spent in bed, crying. I'm officially single again and really fucking scared about going it alone again and starting work this week. I really wish my O was here today.

Ok will do. Good plan. Am going to try v hard not to constantly irritate the crap out of you with questions!

Chasing sorry to hear you sounding so down. It sounds like the boyfriend and jfg have been part of your healing process from xp but it's you who has got through this whole thing, your strength and courage. I do think you can look at the weekend arrangement but not right now - save your energies for getting started in the new job and once you have been doing that a while I think your self confidence and self belief will be stronger and you can then move on to the next challenge. Going back to work is hard but you have good friends here so offload onto us and you will get through that to the next stage of happiness.

Oh Chasing, sorry to hear that. Totally agree with everything MsJupiter says.

I also agree with Jupiter

chasing exactly what jj said. Massive hugs.

My advice Chasing, is get back on the horse you will be ok. You will get through this x

chasing I too agree with jj and actually think of work as taking your mind off stuff and focus on that. You will meet loads of new people and in time make some friends, it really is a new chapter.

pass I, like others, found your experience quite upsetting. I don't think you could have do e anything and someone who is capacble of that in public is not the best person to confront. Eww. Horrible.

DH has gone off to swap tractors all the fields are leveled I think the other tractor is for ploughing, I am very excited because this means I can start my veg plot.

Thank you I feel so guilty moaning on here all the time. I must try and be more positive. I know that me and BF wouldn't have worked long term - but it's hard to let go. I'm not sure what's happening with JFG - but if he wants me he can chase me.

Actually chasing I don't think you have been moaning at all my love. We are all here for you remember.

A man should always be made to do the chasing Chasing

Moan? MOAN? I will show you what a fucking moan is!!!

Fucking illness fuck off!
Fucking wankstain boss fuck off!
Fucking sleepless fucking nights fuck the fuck off!

Moan moan moan !!!!!!!

I'll keep moaning then I just tried to get up and have a shower so I can go out for a walk. Ended in a hysterical panic attack in the shower. And I fucking hate weekends. Families and couples everywhere and me spending both days alone. Back to bed I think.
