April 2007 - With the holidays upon us it'll be wild sleeping bag antics abound! Speaking of which, anyone care to take bets on whether Pesha's coming back from hols with more than a suntan .....

Actually, you're probably better off not coming tonight potc as one of the friends i'm meeting is the one who's mum died a few weeks ago, so we may not be the best company atm

thanks nl and potc, i'm fine honestly, just that it's the same day of the week this year and it's freaking me out a bit. Plus I spoke to dad last night and we talked about it TOday is the day Dad rang me at work to tell me mum had a brain tumor aswell as the lung cancer I think being in the same place is making it worse.

I got bought a cake this morning though so it's not all bad

Cake sounds like the ideal comfort right now, followed by that vodka later (for medicinal purposes of course!)

However, I will be coming on August 8th if that's still ok? Minus children. Have to come home on the Saturday afternoon though.

Although, I am without boys from the Thursday, so if you wanted to take a day off and do something I could come down Thursday night?

I don't think i have enough holiday(only get 4 weeks and need to save some for when dd starts school) but will see what I can do, regardless we will go out on the friday night and I can show you the sights of maidstone

CaptainDippy · 25/07/2008 12:00

Whoop Whoop for Maidstone

StealthPolarBear · 25/07/2008 13:14

oh eddas

Doobydoo · 25/07/2008 15:33

Sorry Eddas

Eddas · 25/07/2008 15:57

cd maidstone is fab

thanks spb and dooby

I went over all depressive earlier. am feeling better now mum would hate me to be depressed so am smiling and thinking about happy times rather than the sad ones. Will buy a lovely bunch of flowers at the weekend to keep in my dining room(or might go and pick some) I don't see the point of buying flowers to leave at the crematorium. At least at home everytime I see them I think of mum

StealthPolarBear · 25/07/2008 16:16

that sounds a lovely idea
really can't get motivated today

elkiedee · 25/07/2008 16:56

Sorry Eddas, hope your night out helps.

Sexonlegs · 25/07/2008 17:53

Eddas, my thoughts are with you flower. Hope you have a great night out tonight.xx

Good luck with the job interview NL

How's everyone else?

All ok here. K and B on good form, and dh has been home thi afternoon which has been fab - moral support!

Right, better get on. Catch up later. xx

CaptainDippy · 25/07/2008 17:57

I am cream crackered!!

mammyjo · 25/07/2008 18:29

I am very miserable and narked today. I am fed up of ds being cheeky to me. It is now starting to get to me. He is just generally cheeky, answering back, and constantly bloody whinging when he doesn't get his own way. He should be at football now, but he hasn't gone because of his behaviour. He is devastated and has really cried about it, but I am hoping that he might realise I am serious about not tolerating this anymore.
Oh well, only another hour or so and he will be in bed!!

Eddas, glad you are feeling brighter this afternoon. Have a fab evening

POTC, the lurker is still lurking then Shame you can't go tonight, hope you feel much better soon

Sexonlegs · 25/07/2008 18:36

MJ, our older children seem to be in synch. I could have cried today. B is turning in to a bully - of me.

She is so rude, so obnoxious and such hard work. Her atitude is awful and she is ungrateful.

I try and stay calm as long as I can, but then I just get mad with her.

Dh is away from early tomorrow until late Sunday, and I am dreading it. Thankfully meeting Dippy and IDOC tomorrow which will be fab and then going to mum and dad's on Sunday. Otherwise, I think there could be murder being committed in this house

Really feel for you xx

CaptainDippy · 25/07/2008 18:53

Yep, DD1 been an absolute HORROR today too!!

PillockOfTheCommunity · 25/07/2008 19:05

M is like that to me at times, but generally only when he's tired. He usually goes to bed between 6 and 6.30 but if he plays up like that he's up there before 6!

Had a fab afternoon, went over to Ipswich to the new Uni to see about courses for September, then met a friend for lunch in a pub garden (well, it was after 2 and we only had drinks but you get what I mean!), then called in at work to collect some things and drop off some files.

Now enjoying the peace and quiet

On another note I went back to work today and it was fine (only cos boss away )
