[PillockOfTheCommunity]

thanks caz & nl

So awful to watch someone you love going through pain. xx

too true cd. It must be so so hard for oj as she has so much else to deal with. Sounds like she has fantastic friends which is wonderful

on a different note, ds slept all night(12 hours) which is not unsusal but he's been asleep since 9 i think he's geting over whatever's been wrong this week bless him

Awwww, bless him Eddas - nice for you too!!

Right, best go and have lunch with my delightful children andthen off out to the park, I think.

Hi all. Yet another miserable message from me! I can't moan about dh to anyone but you lot!
I called about the job I was thinking of applying for but it is full time and there is no scope for reducing hours or even flexible working. It is for 9-5, Monday to Friday. Realistically I can't do that just now, with F still so small and with ds to take and pick up from school every day. Tbh I don't know if I would want to be away from them for 5 full days a week either.

Anyway, was saying to dh that I won't bother applying and he reckoned I was doing that because it was his fault. WTF. He has recently accepted a new job, he was getting really unhappy where he is now and so is leaving in a couple of weeks. I am unhappy where I am, but he just doesn't get the fact that it is not just a case of taking the next job I fancy. Why is it that the mums have to consider everyone else before their own needs, but the dads do what the hell they like. I am fed up of being at the bottom of the food chain!

Sorry, I know that is really whingy but I needed to get it off my chest. Am struggling with a bout of pain right now and was crying. Dh was taking the kids to B+Q for something and thought I was crying because I wanted to go. Fucking hell, WAKE UP. I am sick of being the only one who considers anyone else in this family.

Sorry for being a whinging old bag

Runny, glad you are ok, fab news about WW too!

CD, hope you feel a bit brighter this pm. Would a trip to the GP be of any benefit do you think?

SOL, I know you won't read this but wanted to say have a fab time! 4 men free days sounds like heaven to me

SPB, hope tonight is better

Caz, I wouldn't know where to start with a washing machine! I am very impressed

Apologies to those I have neglected to mention, memory bank is dwindling.
Meant to be doing Race for Life tomorrow morning, not sure whether I will be able to so plan to see how I feel in the morning. Have a good afternoon all xxx

Oh MJ - I can totally empathise with how you are feeling right now (although not in as much pain) I know how undervalued and worthless you feel at times. It is so all-consuming and depressing. I am so sorry you are feeling like this sweetie. I know what you mean about having a DH/DP who seems to be alking round with his head in the clouds - or perhaps it is because he simply doesn't know how to cope or how best to help you!!? I know my DH doesn't "get" me most of the time. Sigh. Anyway, sending you biggest It'll soon be bedtime (for them and us ) xxxx

MJ, that's a disappointment. Hope a better flexible or part time job comes up for you soon, or when you're ready to go.

Sorry I can't offer any help or advice with anything else, but I've done more than my fair share of whinging here if you or anyone else feels like whinging to me!

oh mammyjo - things just don't change, goes back to the days when wives/mothers fed their husbands, then their children then often went without as there was nothing left these days it is emotional/time/survival thing

I think/hope the holiday will do you all good , I couldn't even think about changing my job as I would never find anything that was flexible with childcare. May be different if dh didn't work shifts, but I have to run and organise everything and if he is home he gets told what to do helps

dippy - you sound low, anything we can do?

caz - if the washing machine doesn't work, don't you just kick it?

eddas - did the weather hold for you to make it to the park?

I have a baby brother who is 6'3" >>

ELIKE STOP..............

Elkie - Please tell me what happened on casualty last week and Holby City the week before (cos I can catch last tuesday on replay)

thank you very much

oooggs, I'm at least 3 episodes behind on Holby City - I tend to record everything and catch it later.

I think the last episode I watched of Casualty was the one in which Maggie's daughter is having feeding issues with a newborn baby. Was it not Eurovision last week, hence no Casualty?

Sorry not to be of more help.

I can't remember either I am just low in general, I am afraid. It'll pass.

Anyone watch Britian's Got Talent!!?

suspend your congratulations.......

washing machine has packed up again.....

but the good news is that they will be bringing me a new one on Tuesday morning

POTC - You beat me to starting a thread about Open Farm sunday tomorrow!

Are you going to one?

Are any of the rest of you?

I am indeed Caz
Not sure where yet, was thinking about heading over your way

Morning everyone

Morning!

Morning all!

DH did that the other day, Luce - no way I was even going to attempt it .

What are your plans for the week?

Hello. I m trying to wire brush the paint off of the outside of the shed Nightmare. Sigh. I am feeling very with DH today. Actualy I am just feeling in genral, don't know why.

What's everyone else up to!!?

I'm trying to prep for my interview - and I'me pretty with dh as well - he has the temerity to be ill and is spending most of the day in bed. And when he's awake he's whimpering!!! V annoying. Plus I think B is teething and is grumpy, grumpy, grumpy and it's raining so they can't play out in the garden. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh!
