S'ok, 2happy, I've already warned them
helllllo there all

What a horribly horrible day today! Its freeeeeezing, raining and windy. Just gone as black as a hat out there.

Waiting for DH to ring back, he's just left Sunderland, having promised he'd be here at lunchtime today. He has also just informed me he's working up there sunday night. I quitely said, but it's mothers day. ( he cocked up last year BIG time, by not only forgetting but actually blowing me out the whole weekend, and not answering the phone for 3 days... but we were in a different 'place' back then ) He promised me he'd make it up to me. So, whats he done? forgotten again, and booked an army of men to work for him! He left the phone call just now saying her was doing a ring around to find someone to supervise for him.
I'm really upset why can't he hold anything related to me and Isobel in his head for more than 5 minutes? Getting seriously pissed off about it tbh.

susiecutiemincepies · 29/02/2008 17:37

now he's ignoring my calls. I've had enough of this. So upset. I'l catch you all later. Don't think i ought to be posting in this frame of mind. SO sorry.

eandh · 29/02/2008 18:03

((((Susie))))) not sure what to say, but feel free to rant, we've all done it

Reggiee · 29/02/2008 18:40

I think the male mentality is out of sight out of mind Susie. Sorry, not what you want to hear, but you need to keep reminding them of important things so many times.

Blowing a gale here too. Bloody freezing.

Hi Eah / Lal / 2H! Nive shiny cobweb free thread

Wilkie · 29/02/2008 18:55

Pissing fucking moving house bollocks

I am NOT MOVING. I REFUSE. IT IS HORRIBLE AND TOO STRESSFUL. I CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE I WANT TO LIVE SO I'M NOT GOING!

vinorouge · 29/02/2008 18:58

Oh Susie, not what you wanted to be hearing but as Rgee said most men seem to need reminding of too many things too many times. Your DH is prob feeling really bad about it now esp cos of last year, hope he manages to sort something out, or if he can't, that you have some quality time together while he is with you

Like the new thread title!

E's rash didn't get any worse overnight and doc confirmed it was thrush. i even saved the NHS money by taking in the tube of canesten she had been prescribed for something else (and we had barley used) so we didn't need a new one. Turns out I have thrush too, been thinking it might go away for last week or so but as I was at docs thought she might as well check me out. Canesten all round!

Had a busy day. Left house at 9 and got home at 5 - doctors, boots, tip to dump cardboard, mothercare for few bits and to see if a phil and teds fit in our car (it does yippeee), friends for lunch then onto a birthday party.

Have left change bag at party house the other side of Leeds which is a PITA. Can't go back now cos DH out plus there is a big rugby game over there so will be loads of traffic.

Got home to find our bin wasn't on the street after being colected. There was only 1 around which has a sticker on saying its for numebr 10 whereas we are 8. I took it into my garage and was planning to take sticker off. Now I feel a bit naughty but someone must have taken mine.........

Tired. Still got a few jobs to do ie make scones and some fairy cakes as got 2 friends coming over for lunch and am doing afternoon tea.

vinorouge · 29/02/2008 18:59

Er, I take it the viewings today were not to your taste Mrs Wilkie?

Wilkie · 29/02/2008 20:01

Vino - I may have to refuse to speak to you unless you post a photos of your bump

Sorry to hear about the thrush situation. It is grim - I had it from 30 weeks until I gave birth. Hope it clears up, make sure DH treats himself too in you are having sex.

The houses in Rochdale were pikey pikeysville. We think we are going to rent in Lindley/Marsh in Huddersfield - we drove round today and it is a really lovely rural area. Maybe inner city is not for me???

Reggiee · 29/02/2008 20:14

Yeah!!!!!!!!! Huddersfield is closer to Vino & I!

Wilkie · 29/02/2008 20:18

Do you know area Reggiee?

eandh · 29/02/2008 20:35

wilkie sounds a sort of productive day (well you have ruled out some areas so that positive!)

Vin- you sound busy with baking, hope you and ellen get better soon

susie - hope things are okay and dh home

rgee - how was the meal? I thought of you today as my boss has designated me as social secretary for area and bought me loads of new flashy matching stationary and i enjoyed myself filing this afternoon (althouh was a shity day because I didnt want to speak to anyone at work because I was busy they kept coming into my office asking what was wrong - nothing just f off and leave me alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Dh working tomorrow so I know they'll not be any mothers day cards/presents purchased (ellie made me one at preschool so I'm very about that)ellie done loads of baking at my Mums today they made jam tarts (although ellie and hattie ate 6!), made fairy cakes, small meat pies for dinner and a 'mummy day cake' I'll take a picture later as its so cute, tiny sponge and she iced the top and my Mum let her decorate it herself and its qite tastefully done. I have promised not to cut it till lunch time tomorrow so she and Hattie can have some

theUrbanDryad · 29/02/2008 20:36

Susie - sorry but your dh needs a kick up the arse! don't make excuses for him just because he's a man! he's a human being and as such has the normal congnitive abilities that all other human beings have, and apart from anything else, he'd have to be really fecking dumb to have missed the mountain of marketing that Hallmark etc have put out since Valentines day ended.

you seem to have struck a nerve!

eandh · 29/02/2008 20:39

ooooo I hope Mr UD has got Zac a card for UD

(eandh ponders whether to cat mr ud to check)

theUrbanDryad · 29/02/2008 20:41

Z made me a card at nursery! soooooo cute! i suspect he didn't write the "I love you mummy" on the inside though, unless he is really G&T!

looshkin · 29/02/2008 20:44

Hello all still lurking. Just thought I would let you know wilkie that there are some lovely places in huddersfield. Lindley is the nicest around the M62 and then the other nice places are all south hudds eg holmfirth/netherthong/honley/netherton/beaumont park (that's me) and also the bottom end of the colne valley slaithwaite (where I work) and marsden. The latter two are very close the the golf club and nicely rural. Only be aware The League of Gentlemen was filmed around our way all the lonely moor shots etc. We are just on the edge of the pennines so within 5 mins in the middle of nowhere being chased by potty sheep. There are alot of not so nice places but have a drive round and see whrere you like.

Really glad to see the littleones sleeping through UD and SCM W is almost there .

Gutted re shed 2H and will ring promise .

Right back to lurking

Loosh

theUrbanDryad · 29/02/2008 20:45

also dh has ordered pizzas and announced that we are having an Indiana Jones weekend. farking awesome.

eandh · 29/02/2008 20:46

awww bless - harmony and happiness in the ud house

Loosh---(((((((hugs)))))))) where have you been, stop lurking, start posting

Wilkie · 29/02/2008 20:55

Hi Loosh!! Nice to hear from you. I wish you would post more Maybe we could meet for a coffee once we have settled?

Susie - just read your earlier post. I would be seriously unimpressed too although DH is working all day on Sunday too so I am going to mum's for the day (again - it was the same last year but unfortunately that is just his job and his boss' mum has terminal cancer so she needs him more).

Hello everyone else

I am working tonight from home - how sad is that??!

theUrbanDryad · 29/02/2008 20:58

MNing = working i think not Ms Wilkie.

susiecutiemincepies · 29/02/2008 21:07

HI all, so sorry about my moan. Not feeling any better tbh. He's still ignoring my calls. I've not tried for an hour or 2 now, and switched my phone off, as i was getting more and more upset.
UD: I agree with you in part, but, sadly in his defense, ( I know, he doesn''t have much of one ) but, he literally spends his life either on the motorway in his car, at a railway station building site and office, or asleep in a hotel. He honestly, really doesn't enter into civilization ever, unless he's here with us.
He does need an almighty kick up the arse you are right. He's treating me like shit at the moment. I feel. He is obsessed with earning enough money to support us all etc, I understand his fears, of course I do, its a huge responsibility, however, my salary started again recently, so we have t incomes for the next few months. we are better off than we have been for over a year.

I just feel like I'm bottom of the pile again. I'm never a priority, and he only comes home to see Izzy. He denies all this, and is realy upset that i think this way. Its just that I love him SO much. I express it to him, show him, tell him every day and get F all in return.
He's never been 'any good' at that, but its beginning to get really wearing and damaging, as he's not able to make up for it in other ways, being so far away, and not being her every weekend. It used to not bother me so much, as he showed me his love in many ways, without having to tell me. Which is something he has only said about 3 times ever... something I have accepted as just being him, its never been a problem until now. not sure i'm explaining why it is a problem now, very well

Sorry, im waffling. the bottom line is, I just done feel at all loved. I feel really quite worthless and am losing what was left of my self esteem really rapidly. At times like this, I wish I didn't love him. unfortunately, I do. I absolutely adore him, which makes it all the more difficult to cope with.
I dont think it helps that i'm in alot of pain tonight, Izzy is not well either and I think AF is on the way for a visit I was looking forward, not only to seeing him, and falling asleep next to him, with his big furry arms around me, but, to having a little break from caring for isobel. He takes over completely when he's home. She loves it, he loves, and I get to rest completely.

I really am going to stop now. I'm being incredibly selfish, and self absorbed. I can only apologise, but, it does help to get it off my chest a bit. htanks if you've read on....

lots of love to you all, and the LO's

Wilkie · 29/02/2008 21:12

Susie - you are not being selfish at all. It sounsd SO difficult and I think you are incredibly understanding. I don't think I could cope with that TBH.

Do you mind me asking how old you are, and how long have you been together?

eandh · 29/02/2008 21:21

No susie you are not being selfish - one of the many wonderful things about MN is the annonymity of ranting, do you think he'll be home tonight?
