Let's just start a "My dh/p is a selfish twunt" thread! Mine has finished work early, I was really pleased, I can have a rest and he can help with dinner. Alas he has gone to play golf! Twunt. He played yesterday as well and didn't get home til 7, by which point I had cooked his dinner. It was steaming hot and on the table when he got home. What does he think this is, the 1960's? I am sick and fucking tired of doing everything myself.

He is out on a stag night next saturday. He is playing golf all day and out all night. He will be such a mess on sunday that we won't be doing anything. Then we will have the boys 2 weekends in a row because of the weekend we've missed. I am seriously in a bad mood.

I wouldn't cook him dinner, but the lamb in the fridge needs eating and I refuse to let it go to waste. Maybe I'll spit on it!

that is shite holly, bumper, daisy - we just have to get used to it sadly.

dp thinks he deserves a BJ for taking the rubbish out.

so i don't ask him anymore. yes i have to ask because he is unable to make the connection in his own brain

bin full = needs to be emptied.

oh don't get me started

Charlie999 · 14/09/2007 16:21

LOL Holly at spitting on his dinner!!

Its a bloke thing not having any inititive (?sp) I think....they're all the same

Will see if I can find the thread Bumper...but the gist of it was that it farking hurt having it put in and removed. Think there are less hormones in the implant than I take orally at the moment...I've already missed a couple of pills...I'm not very good at remembering

You're brave Daisy fitting in another one so quickly - especially as you've got to convince DH

Don't think I'll be too long but do need to show my face at work before I bugger off for another 6 months...Don't know how on earth we will afford childcare for more than one though - nursery costs £40 a day for one

Charlie999 · 14/09/2007 16:22

foxy....I have a DH exactly like that!

bumperlicious · 14/09/2007 16:23

i knew exactly when dh was going to propose to me coz it was the only time he has said "let's go out today"! but you are right, when they do do it you know it's coz they've been nagged into it.

holly, may i suggest lamb with a breast milk jus?

Charlie999 · 14/09/2007 16:25

PMSL Think I'm glad i have a girl

daisyandbabybootoo · 14/09/2007 16:27

holly, you could just cook it and eat early so when he gets back from golf it is all dried up and nasty...mind you that's a waste as well.

Mine will ask whether there is any bread...he does this every week, knowing full well that as I never eat it, I never think to buy it and he has to go get some himself. Maybe tonight I'll pre-empt matters by asking him if he bought any on the way home.

He will then spend the evening either going to the shop for a cigar (a 45 min walk there and back) then will sit in the garden for another 45 minutes smoking his second cigar (he thinks i don't know he has one on the way back). he will then find the urge to tell me of his every intention, ie I'm just going to the loo, I'm just going to get a beer, etc etc

bloody men.

Jamantha, are we making you feel better about yours not being around?

bumperlicious · 14/09/2007 16:30

oh yeah, i get that. "is there any bread for sandwiches?", just look ffs! and yes there is coz even when i worked full time i always made sure you had bread for sandwiches, and milk for cereal. it involved looking in the cupboards and thinking ahead!

riabutterflew · 14/09/2007 16:32

please can we start a man rant again, i so enjoyed it the other day

charlie the implant doesn't hurt but the bloody local anaesthetic does. stupid me though, didn't realise i would have to have it removed - i thought it would dissolve. silly cow. serves me right for not reading the info properly. i didn't fancy a coil, didn't fancy any more poking about

bumperlicious · 14/09/2007 16:35

well i a bit we are going "for a walk around the area we are moving to" ooh how exciting. i'd much rather do that than have a picnc in the park, go to a boring concert or see friends or something.

loonylovegood · 14/09/2007 16:36

Fucking men! Unfortunately dd and I cannot eat the lamb as we are veggies, so I'm have to cook it for said twunt to eat.

Daisy, why do they have to smoke? Twats, twats, twats! I got a promise that dp would give up if I let him buy the golf clubs. He bought them and didn't give up!

Grrr...spose I'd best get cooking!!

foxybrown · 14/09/2007 16:47

Cook it and freeze it Holly.

last night I cooked a cottage pie, all lovely smelling and homely. Then sent him out for fish and chips, 'cos "Its for the freezer".

riabutterflew · 14/09/2007 16:53

when dh decides we are going out he decides and expects me and the dcs to be ready immediately and gets really huffy if it takes time to make the picnic, bath and dress us all, make the beds, wash up etc.

he is huffy now cos we were supposed to bs having a big family outing this weekend, but i can't get everyone to commit to a day/time.

Charlie999 · 14/09/2007 17:09

One thing I don't understand.....you are supposed to wipe girls "front to back" to avoid transfer of bugs/infection.....my DDs poo's go all over the shop...including up there so can't really do anything about it...can I?

Jamantha · 14/09/2007 17:13

Now he's gone I feel OK. And yes, hearing you lot I realise how lucky I am, though he does have his moments and yes I often feel that if I didn't arrange things nothing would get done, we'd never go out, and nothing would get bought. But on the whole I wouldn't be without him (for long).

Jamantha · 14/09/2007 17:15

I was thinking the same thing this morning Charlie! I am always worried about cleaning her "intimate areas" too thoroughly, but can't just leave them covered in poo.

daisyandbabybootoo · 14/09/2007 17:26

LOL ladies, the first time I was confronted by an explosive DD poo, I didn't know what to do. Boys are so much easier to clean up.

done a quick sweep of the kitchen and living room so DH doesn't think I've been doing bugger all all week (which I have).

I just have to keep him out of the back roomas I have filled it with laundry again

DH just pulled up, better go and talk to him

loonylovegood · 14/09/2007 17:33

TBH I don't know why I fucking bother. Dp's dinner will be ready in about 10 mins, I have made him roast lamb with potatoes, parsnips, onion, carrots and peas, so not just something I've thrown together at the last minute. I've just rung him to see where he is and the first thing he said was how busy it was, so I hung up on him. I know he's going to be ages. I'm so pissed off and lonely.

poor holly!

annobal · 14/09/2007 18:18

Holly. Can I have some?

sputnik · 14/09/2007 18:20

Bloody hell, every time I'm on the verge of posting something happens then I have to catch up again.

Hooray I have found a better nursery for DD!!!
Went to seee one of the ones in the next village (it's more of a small town really so there are 3) and it was much better, they spend a lot of time outside, the atmosphere was 100x better and the teachers were really nice. There is even another little girl with an english mum! I think it must be quite good as lots of other people are bringing kids from othere villages too.

sputnik · 14/09/2007 18:29

40 quid a day for childcare, wow, is it like that evereywhere in the UK? At the private nursery where DD was til now I paid 200 euro a month (so about 120 pounds) for 75 hours to "spend" when I wanted - and that included meals and snacks. Didn't realise how lucky we are! The state one she will go to now is free but you pay for meals.

justbeme · 14/09/2007 18:30

Glad to hear that Sputnik!

Daisy, I havent grown pumpkins - but my book says if sown in June they should be ready by aug-oct. But it also says if the weather is cold (spose our summer wasnt brilliant), then fertilise female flowers (tiny marrow behind petals) with a male flower (thin stalk behind flower) - by removing male flower and pushing gently into female flower!! God sex talk again!
My cucumbers sound the same as your marrow - but at the end of the day Just leave them and see what grows - its part of the fun! Its been a funny old year this year though for weather so you might not be lucky.

annobal · 14/09/2007 18:33

Wow Sputnik. DSs nursery is £36 a day from 9.30-3. It is more like a pre-school as they take kids from 2.5. It is fab though.

Great that you found somewhere!

justbeme · 14/09/2007 18:34

L had her jabs this afternoon - it was horrible. She screamed the surgery down and then there was blood on her trousers...
I think there should be a warning - "put your LO in not so good clothes and wear a breastpad if breastfeeding!!"
I never leak but was most embarassed when at bumps and babies to notice a wet patch on my t shirt where the let down reflex had kicked in from all her crying.
Bless her though, she's normally such a happy baby that she even managed to smile at me as we walked away from the doctors!

She slept for a 10 hour stretch last night then straight back down for another 3 hours!!
