June 07 - The one where we welcome Tallulahbelle's twin girls into the world :0)

[LackaDAISYcal]

hello

although I'm probably talking to myself.

Is he still not well Ria?

Work was odd.....and there were plenty of "while you're here can you....." so didn't get home till 4ish. Nice to have some time to myself though and not slob around in trackies....although I did struggle to find anything that fitted me this morning

Right, I suppose I'd better collect DD from nursery.....

You'll find them when you get home . have a fab time....well the kids will and it'll cost you a fortune!!

Things fine here....two and a bit weeks to go ....looking forward to it now....

I think he's tired today. Only about 10 mins sleep while we were out for a walk this morning and my aunts dog woke him by barking. I am hoping he doesn't fall asleep in the car when we collect DS1 from tennis.

DHs immediate superiors still seem to be taking the piss in a big way, they seem to change the day the rota starts every week so DH never gets 2 days off, and their days off run over to the next day, but he is thinking maybe they will be watched a bit more after his little paddy. Here's hoping. New staff started today too, so DH shouldn't have quite so much to do (and he is trying to refuse to do stuff that isn't his job - like telling other staff their hours have been cut etc. He will probably still be scapegoat for all that is wrong though, his boss sounds like a mad cow to me)

sorry, rant over

Ooooh, I have just booked for a facial on Saturday using the rest of the vouchers I got from DMIL for my birthday in November

oh jammy lucky you!

My DH's work are like that, they make him work 6 days on the trot, them give him ONE days off, but always make sure that the day b4 the day off he is working till 3am, so we dont actually see him till about 2pm TOTALLY sympatise ria, shitty bosses buggering up any family time u might have.. grr angry for u!

tom just asked me why we have so many eggs in the fridge (i clicked x2 on the online shop so we have 30 eggs! )
then he asked if we could make a cake he is so funny!

bless him jammy.

I have just seen an odd light in the cemetry when I collected DS1. I have reported it to the police (vandalism, stealing ornaments etc, happen from time to time). They didn't know if anyone would come out though, cos it was 10 minutes (because I drove round looking for our CSO) before I reported it! I know its not murder/drug smuggling etc, but still. Where's Nick Berry on his push bike???

LOL though, DS1 offered me his tennis racket if I wanted to go and investigate! (Miss Marple I am not, not in a bloody dark, deserted cemetry)

aw bless! go on ria! u could be the new murder she wrote!

they rang back to say they sent an unmarked car, and there were people in there!!! I think the bloke said they were searched (but baggins was yelling so I couldn't hear) but there was no offence, and the police "gave them some advice"

I didn't know they would ring back!

I will be popping down again tomorrow (during the day) to check on the family plots though.

baggins has gone to bed on hardly any tea and no milk again

aw ria, sorry he is taking so long to recover its horrid when they are poorly

i think its great they called you back! nice to know they actually DID something about it

It was probably some teenagers drinking cider or something Ria, not that I ever did that myself, oh no.

Hope you have a great time Foxy

probably sputnik. (I never did that - graveyards are way too scary for me!)

Yes, FOXY!!! have a great time.

think I might go to bed early, have a headache and baggins is warm and snuggly.

we are getting a bigger bed because double beds are not big enough for 4!

Foxy - if you are lurking (and if so why aren't you packing/panicking/getting an early night???) HAVE A FAB TIME

DH had to work late and it's my night for working anyway so we had a curry delivered from a new place near us. Very yum but now VERY full!

jammy.

am off to bed with my aches and pains.

Night x

Facial sounds lovely Jammy ....I would love a pedicure atm....my feet are like elephants feet, I can't even persuade DH to run moisturiser into them...the skin is so tight.

I used to drink cider in the local cemetery as a teen as well

Where is Butterfly recently? And JBM? Are you lurking ladies?

Not many posters any more.......

I'd rub your feet Norty!

Big black cloud over my head here this morning. Started because DH had a go at me for putting a screwdriver that he had left in the bathroom back in the toolbox. He felt it should be in the bathroom because he uses it to unblock the sink. I argued that it was months since he last used it and it's unreasonable to have it clutter up the bathroom all the time. We then got onto how sick I was of never knowing where things are because things don't get put away and how I'm sick of stuff never getting done and looking at piles of crap everywhere. And how I've been asking for years (about 12!) for us to get things sorted out so that normal household stuff doesn't become hard work because we don't know where things are, whether they are clean etc. And how the fact that things haven't changed (apart from a flurry of activity just before DD was born) leads me to conclude that I'm just not important because the things I want never get done. And that no wonder I'm depressed when I'm living like this and always feeling I'm not important. Sorry about the rant but have to vent. Sorry, I'm just so flipping about it all. I feel totally overwhelmed so when he asks what I want to do I can only mutter I don't know. Sorry. It's really got to me this morning, I am sitting here sobbing but have to get this off my chest so I can go and clear up in the kitchen and sort another load of washing. I feel I could go on and on for ever about all the things he does (or doesn't do) that mean we're in such a state. This is why I've been putting off counselling because I'm scared that I'll end up admitting that I won't ever be happy here Sorry I should prob have put this in relationships or soemthing, but it's too scary, so I just wanted to vent to you guts where it's warm and safe and cosy. Sorry, sorry sorry. Don't mind me. As you were.

of course, I meant you guys at the end there, not you guts

Annobal seems to have dropped off the map too, haven't heard from her in ages.

Glad I'm not alone in the cider drinking thing then!

Aww Jammy, sorry you're feeling down.
We live in more or less chaos too, and I soooo know what you mean about the tools thing, ours are DH's responsibility, and therefore I can never find a bloody hammer when I need one, after years of him complaining there was nowhere decent to put them I sacrificed a huge kitchen cupboard and they're still a mess. Sorry, didn't mean to start my own rant there.

I think I am slowly becoming more organised, but the level of chaos is increasing due to DCs, so I feel like I'm swimming against the tide a bit here.

Storage really helps though, make a plan of what you need to put away and go to Ikea or wherever and get some boxes. There was a good thread about this the other day actually here, lots of good ideas.

I should take that advice too!

jammy. us guts are with you all the way! you vent if you need to. And don't start a thread in relationships - someone might

Doesn't matter how much storage we have (and we're not badly off, just need some shelves in the dining room) if stuff never fucking gets put away does it? Sorry that sounds like I'm having a go at you. I don't mean to.

Hi Ria. Thanks. I'm a right state here. We just had another blow up about it before/during lunch. And I just can't stop crying

jammy.

Don't worry Jammy, I don't feel like you're having a go at all

Your DH is clearly in the wrong, but I'm sure it's not really an indication he values you less, it's just lower down his list of priorities than it is yours.

You could try the approach that you need to do these things for your DD, both in the sense that now she is starting to walk things like odd tools lying around could be dangerous, or simply picked up by her and put somewhere you're even less likely to find them, as well as the fact she should be taught to put her stuff away and set a good example.

Thanks Sputnik I like that approach. I just want an end to the broken promises. I know I haven't been the prefect companion either, but I am really sick of this.
