April 2007: International Intelligence Plan to STEAL Maveta's Weather ......

[CaptainDippy]

Well, managed to get both children to bed relatively unscathed and they are still asleep! Dh not sure what time he might get home so am sat here all by myself with my wine - not that bad really!!

Will be off now as big brother is on, and I have become rather addicted to it, despite saying I wouldnt watch it this year.

Have a good evening all. SOKL, hope you manage to sort things out with your bro. I would be upset too. Think its a good idea to let him know he has upset you (as someone else said earlier) so that hopefully he can put things right before he goes away again.

OMG,
Soooooo out of touch I missed SOKL and CD's birthdays

Just having stressy relationship moments where DH is finding the pressure of supporting the family a bit much and "can't connect" with either of the children (read : do ANYTHING domestic) and then I get told off for pointing out that foreplay consists of 2 parts for females the body (and he was doing that bit right) but also the head...at which point he fairly understandably got in a huff, but all the same I don't have to roll over & think of blardy England. Raaaah. Mind You, England Rubgy team I could probably worry over nicely for a while...

Oooh don't know where that came from. I'm just a bit tired from coping with occupying a 2yo whilst atttending to little Tamsin too. And by the time the kids are in bed and I've coooked for him & I - it takes at least another 2 hours for me to chill out. By which time I'm knackered & know I've to sleep as much as possible in anticipation of a 4 o'clock feed and a 7am 2yo wake-up. I defy anyone to feel like it at the end of that day. Felt horny this morning but he's not a morning person (read: foghorns and physical abuse required for him to move)- and he's Offshore racing again today. So factor a bit of in there too. Grrr.

Like, I say, I apologise for rant, and Hi to everyone.

If I've time to type it out I'll stick Honey Raisin Scones on the April recipes thread as a quick easy favourite that's best eaten very hot! with thanks to a (pre-Disney) Winnie the Pooh Cook Book.

I might be bothered to eat now, before I pour another glass of wine (can you tell!)

2 bits of the female body? lordy I am missing out!

Octo, pmsl.

WaspElly, that was a rant and a half! You go girl!

Mammyjo, hope your dh gets back soon. Enjoy the wine in his absence. I have had 2 glasses and feel absolutely trashed!

Well, my brother has just phoned to see if we are free for them to come over tomorrow morning. Of course I have said yes, but I think I was a bit offish on the phone. He seemed a bit sheepish too. Don't know whether to call him back and apologise and explain why I may have come aross a bit offish. What do you ladies think. I really need your advice.

Hope everyone is ok.

Please let me know your thoughts.

WaspElly, sorry to hear you're feeling fed up and tired. Any chance that dh might think about things a bit and make more effort? Enjoy your wine.

I would go over and have a fab time. My sister is over from the states for 6 weeks with my nephew and she is knackered - and the arrangements of what/when/how are all over the place and seem to change daily - lots of confusion.

SOKL, maybe he's already realised. Or perhaps your mum asked whether he'd been in touch with you, or he hadn't quite remembered the date.

I'd try and be positive about the visit. Do you have your birthday cards up on the mantelpiece or something? If not, put them there or somewhere else conspicuous.

Generally, I would still think of strategies for letting him know how you feel without starting a row. See how tomorrow's visit goes and then think about what to do if you're still ticked off.

Thanks Elkie,

I feel a bit daft now. Think my hormones/tiredness/pissedness have not helped and have made a mountain out of a molehill.

sokl - for what it worth - i would just let it go , wait and see what he brings have a lovley time!

Thanks WO.

As I said in a previous post, I don't give a shit about cards and presents, it was purely the fact there was no phone call or text. It made me feel sad, as we have always been so close.

I am going to leave it and just enjoy seeing him and my sil, 3 nephews and 1 neice as haven't seen them for nearly a year.

Bumping so Ellie can find us!!

Hi BTW!

found you

Ah, but now everyoen has buggered off!

SOKL, you shouldn't feel daft. I think it's reasonable to feel upset in your position, but from experience it doesn't always work or isn't always possible to express it to the person who has upset you.

I won't go into the gory details right now and here, while posting about your problem, but I get pissed off frequently by my dad/his side of the family.
