June 07 - Better Living Through Chocolate

[LackaDAISYcal]

sorry about DPs job holly, but they say one door closes and another one opens, so who knows what it'll bring. Good things I hope. My nephew is a youth worker (funny when he is a youth himself in my eyes ) and absolutely loves it.

I love your clothing idea and would certainly love to buy some of it if it gets off the ground. Most of the organic stuff you can get is in really muted colours, But I'm sure that's just a perception thing; no reason why muted colours are any less toxic/less environmentally friendly than muted. A thought though; what about bamboo clothing? more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Maybe a bespoke design service like that dutch company?

Have a nice holiday Fairy...some hot sunshine would be lovely at the minute

Fuck! 45 mins arguing and round 1 is over. DH is now making dinner and I am trying to work. I don't know if there are any answers to be found though

Oh jammy, sounds like a lot of tension has been building up. What is the problem?

sorry for the tension there jammy

lots of tension here as well....apparently if I can't get the housework done during the day then I have to do more in the evening.

twunt.

Sorry about the DH issues Jammy.
It ca make for a horrible atmosphere I know.

Holly, how is the other website going?

hi there. sorry about pain and arguing and nasty threads (sorry I didn't search it down to support you daisy, I decided I wasn't stable enough for a fight today)

have a great holiday fairy

but holly. It's good when a thing makes way for an opportunity. I used to be a youth worker. It was a bit faith based, also without many proper boundaries (it was a charity rural outreach project, it has now closed cos the funding ran out, but my two bosses had an affair and are now married, which is made all the more ]hmm] because one of thems previous partner had been in charge abd left them for their assistant worker!) I liked it but wasn't very good at it, as one of the kids said "Ria, you are such a parent" (except they used to call me Marjorie for some reason). But the best of luck to your DH - maybe he could start out getting some experience by volunteering? even if it's with a church group (them seem to be short on volunteers quite often) ora scout group - I know it's not the same thing, but it's getting experience in the right area. Also DS1s school have a bloke who is just there to mentor (he isn't a teacher as far as I'm aware), so that might be a thought. And good luck for your project too, sounds exciting.

sounds like an evening of twuntage all round! AM glad DH isn't here as I couldn't do with him doing it to.

Round 2 lastest 5 minutes. Started with him calling me angry and shouty. Ended with him throwing his dinner plates across the room. He is out in the garden now.

Oh, sounds like his time of the month Jammy .

It's been a stressful few days with the tablet incident but it does sound like there is more to it. Is he unhappy at work? What started the argument? Can you compromise at all? Sounds like you both need a good heart to heart, but not when he is that angry.

Oh and arse about DP Holly, what happened?

Sounds like he wants to get into something more 'worthy' though. Do you think he will be good at it? Is he serious? Can you get any help with training?

I've just polished of my cheesecake

Anyway the one night I'm here and you've all buggered of to argue with your DH's! Well, the only reason's I'm not arguing with DH is he has gone out for a rare night out.

Right, well I am going to do some crochet then if you lot are so busy

No no Bunting er Bumper. I'm here
Not for much longer though, off to bed in a bit.

I'm here, although I have man-flu (or maybe it's hayfever, or just fall-out from yesterday). Kids asleep at last, the two littles have a streaming cold too.

Just popping in for quick catch up.

Stressful time for you Jammy When DD was about 13 months she got into my bag & helped herself to a rennie out of a blister pack. It was in her mouth but I couldn't prise her jaws open & she swallowed it. No ill effects but it could just as easily been paracetamol. We've all been there.

DT's are 4 months old today. How did that happen? Got jags tomorrow. My H/V called to change the appt from today which is the usual clinic. She said she needed to 'clear the decks' for me.

Tension tonight was nothign to do with Jamlet's attempts to get the ibuprofen yesterday (she has been right as rain so obviously didn't have any which is what I thought). All the usual stuff that blows up between us periodically. We have some plans for trying to resolve things (a bit at least) long term. We'll see.

4 motnhs eh? Time really does fly!

4 months already

there is anoter set of twins at the church group! and I didn't even know that person was PG.

Are you OK(ish) now Jammy? Did he clear up his own mess (that's why I never throw things - just makes more for me to do)

Anyone know anything about homeopathic remedies for anxiety? now I'm not PG/BF I was wondering if it would be worth a try...

I've used Rescue Remedy in the past Ria and found it helpful. Might get it out and try it again actually - thanks!

OK-ish thanks Ria. He cleared up his mess and we had a long talk and some chocolate and all that helped. (Means I have an hours work to do tomorrow though ) But deep down I do wonder if it's just a case of we'll be OK until next time...

must go to bed, feel rough. vicks for me I think (though was tempted buy the medised bootle - for myself!)

my neck is itchy too as it was really sunny where I sat to watch the cricket (they lost, DS1 went in to bat at 10 and did fine, although he got run out), luckily my Dad went too (to explain the rules[wink} I think he wuite enjoyed it, he was getting a bit heated)

night all. hoping tomorrow is better for everyone (and that I manage to get DS2 to school on time)

www.rescueremedy.co.uk/

it's been a bit like that here too jammy, just recently. I don't know if it's down to the work situation, or me being as I am or what. Hopefully just something in the air for all of us?

might try some rescue remedy, have read good things about it. I have been more or less on an even keel today (though cricket was rather nerve-racking), but I can still feel fluttering kind of behind my collar bone IYKWIM? I'll give it a few days - I have a GP appt on the 15th I think, so I can always mention it then.

So I woke up at silly oclock. I did some puzzles, which normally sends me back to sleep, but have now been downstairs for an hour watching TV. It sucks.

morning jammy. shattered here too. another panic before bed (very unusual for me, it's normally in the morning and gone by bedtime), then slept quite well but had the most strange and "busy" dream about super-heroes (would make a brilliant X-men type spoof if I had the know-how)

also have to address the weekend away issue today. I know it's probably the only chance DH will get to go away this year, but it's just so much effort

baggins has just spotted the scab where my shoes rubbed at the weekend. He pojked it and said "yak" and now he is trying to scrub it away with the washing up brush from the playkitchen - ouch!

must get on, hope we don't have to go in the late book today

Hope you make/made it on time Ria!

Now trying to plan a trip to St Andrews for a wedding in July. Seems like a lomg way to go with a jamlet.

Morning

Sorry about the rows Jammy, and hope things are better today.

How are you feeling Ria? I had a panic attack yesterday afternoon.....haven't had one for a while and it took my by surprise!

Thank fuck its Friday - and I'm not even working atm! Just had enough of 2 of them on my own and looking forward to some help over the weekend.

My back is still pretty sore, so we are having (another) lazy day so I stand half a chance of making it around IKEA tomorrow. Got to go there with 2 cars to get a bookcase as they wanted £60 to deliver it!!! Getting out of the toll booths at the Dartford tunnel in a 1.2l car is going to be interesting.....normally I'm in the big car and can beat everyone else to it

that does NOT sound like fun norty.

I am a bit fluttery but ok ATM thanks, but have been so cross this morning the kids have gone to school a bit twitchy. I even rang my parents to see if DS1 had actually gone to school and not turned up at theirs (he appears to have gone to school).He has lost his bloody bus pass, again. Apparently yesterday he blagged his way on to the bus cos it was the usual driver, but did he think to look for it last night so he would have it this morning? NO! He waited til 20mins before he has to leave. I suggested he look up his backside ( not my finest parenting moment)and made him get the money out of his money box for his fare. And he only had ennough for a single so I've said he has to walk home (we will go pick him up of course, but I was cross). So now I will have to spend the day finding the fucking thing (armed with a big black bin bag as I have been threatening to do for ages), and DH will get arsey because I'll be doing that instead of thinking about/getting ready to go away

If I get through today in one piece it will be a bloody miracle.

though, cos we've had a really good couple of days with him with the parents evening and cricket etc, and now we're just bag to square -25!
