April 2007 - Yaaaaaaaaaaaawn, sorry, did somebody say something?!

[PillockOfTheCommunity]

thought this appropriate given the thread elkie linked to

Eddas, you are right, it is for dh to sort out and not me. If it was my family then I would not expect him to get involved. But, like you, they would never speak to me like that!

GM, I am inclined to agree with you! I have no desire to bother with them, I just had a guilt attack over the dc's.

Dh and I were talking about it over the weekend, and we both agreed that we have not missed their company, despite the fact that over 3 months has passed. Says a lot really.

GM, what are the kittens like?

One is black and white, the other is white and black. 7 weeks old, currentlt asleep and a teeny tiny ball of fur onn the window sil.... nameless at the moment!!

how's c with them gm?

MJ, i can see what you mean about the guilt re dc. Families are such a hard thing to fathom at times

I HAVE MY NEW CAR tis lovely salesman says he will call at the end of the week to check all is ok, hope nothing about our old car is mentioned

am so relived it's done. just got to sort the paperwork, send off the car tax etc and I can relax

new washing machine arrives on wednesday

please please let this be the end

I would let DH deal with it, MJ, I really would. Can DS not go over there by himself (i.e. you drop him off for the afternoon and then pick him up later)?? I am a sucker so I would probably just sod it and grit my teeth and grin and bear it. I wouldn't talk to MIL or SIL unless I absolutely needed to though. HTH

MJ, your inlaws sound quite nasty but I feel a bit sorry for the 9 year old girl as she clearly wants to see your ds. It's a shame her mum can't make the effort herself to make up for being a bitch. I'd agree with getting dh to arrange to take your ds round to see his cousin. Shame you can't invite the child round without talking to her mother really.

GM, wow, how did that happen with the cats? Our two normally run away from D, CM's cat is a little more amenable to being petted by children but although D tries to get her to come to him (he's learned to say psss pssss and click his tongue) she has a little more sense.

GM - we need pictures!

The girls from the other Company going tomorrow are all going straight from work so will be in their suits We've decided we're dressing up anyway
I'm torn between being excited and stupidly nervous....

Evening all.

Busy today

Eddas, glad you got your car - enjoy

MJ, how are you now? Hope things improved. Sorrry you are feeling down. It is incredibly hard work being a parent. xx
Re your mil and sil, I too would leave it to dh - his family. Not a nice situation tho

Oooggs, you poor lamb. If the HP's say give up.... What about reducing your hours. Is that an option/half way house?

GM, how on earth did you manage to come back with 2 kittens? Which bank did you go to I am v jealous. I have 2 mogs who I had when they were 16 weeks old - they are now 9 yrs old!

Good to see Liath and WO too. Hope you and yours are well.

CD, how are you feeling?
Brain emptied.

Feel absolutely pants. Chest feels like someone has sat on it and I have the worst headache ever that will not shift with anything.

Dh has gone now until 10 p.m. on Wednesday. I cried when he left

B fell over again half an hour after he left and was an absolute nightmare.

Have booked tomorrow off work - B and K are at nursery, so am going to try and relax a bit. Really feel close to the edge and not helped by feeling so awful.

Sorry for the whinge. xx

x-post Elkie and POTC.

POTC, yep, dress up for sure; enjoy!

Elkie how are you feeling?

Sooooo glad you are going to have tomorrow to yourself - good for you!! xx

Hi all

Haven't caught up yet - am busy staring hard at someone on a v irritating thread!

SOL - I have just read your post. You poor thing - can I add a too? Holidays soon isn't it? Hope you get a good break.

I handed my notice in today

mj - I bury the hatchet.................. in MIL's head sorry no tolerance - honestly its dh's family.....let him sort it

ellie - I'd be very nervous........ and excited

gm - cool - yes photos needed

sol - reduce hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is very funny - only because I do the minimum there is

eddas - photos of new car too - what colour is it?

I am shattered but have survived the day by going to soft play with a friend this afternoon - the dts have been angels and have walked on their reins loads (can't take pushchair as can't get it through the door!!)

ds1 is soooooooooooo ready for school

LOL oooggs

Good to "see" you NL - @ notice.

well done nl

sol - close to the edge - I know what you mean - I hope you have a lovely day on your own tomorrow

Oooggs - can your dh not cut back his hours a bit? Three children and the pregnancy from the land of vomit is an awful lot for you to cope with.

Just keep thinking ladies - only a few more weeks to go til school's back .....
(a few very long weeks, granted!)

he is very busy at work as a boat due to go next week, then back to normal, then two ish weeks leave, then school

Only a few weeks till I leave my job too (am bit over excited)

sorry - that has nothing to do with school does it?

Ooops

You're sending dh to school? Interesting tactic....

You are totally allowed to be excited NL
It's so good to have something to look forward to!

Oh SOL I really feel for you how utterly pants.I hope they go to bed ok so you can relax abit.It is horrid isn't it when you feel ill AND are on your own with dc's?
Really hope you ok soon.Dp is at home and cleaning.....alothe does this when stressed.I f we were in UK i COULD HIRE HIM OUT TO YOU LOT
Haven't caught up properly,will try later as cooking mine and dp's tea.

On phone to Ange - she still has no laptop and is missing us all loads

HURRAH NL

Poor Ange
Dooby - I need your DP here now!!!!

Right, should really go and see poor neglected DH (He has a poorly ankle dontcha know )

New thread needed!!!?
