AUG 08 - Be who you are and say what you feel...

[TwilightSurfer]

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." --Dr. Suess

Is it still broken????????

And I volunteer to sing Killing me Softly during the signing of the register .

buckets thanks for contact details, knew you'd be a useful girl to know!
erm but can i let you know about what song to sing?

hi hots, you still working?

Nope it's Killing Me Softly or nothing. (There, you are off the hook now)

I'll let your agent know

Dh veing a primo pain in the arse! He is stressed at work so is being painful at home. He just stomped off out because I told him if he wanted to 'sort' out stuff from the wardrobes to leave mine well alone and throw out some of his own stuff then the stair gate didn't close properly and he yelled because DD appeared at the top of the stairs very pleased with herself (I was sorting her dinner) but when he was 'watching' her this morning and the builder hadn't closed the gate and she was found 1/2 way up it wasn't his fault as he was working (I was in the shower so he know I wasn't about). I was drying the roses he gave me for valentines day as I wanted hte petals but apparently they are making the place a mess so he put them in the compost but his 4 pairs of shoes, 2 pairs of jeans, 3 coats and numerous other items of clothing spread about the hall and diningroom are fine as he needs them . I give up he can cook his own dinner - DD has been fed and we are going to have a huge bubble bath together and sit in bed and read stories

Miamla - I would offer to sing but you don't want your guests scarred for life

DD just walked int othe wall in the kitchen and said 'fuck it' and carried on. Maybe now the DON'T SWEAR when she is about message will sink in!

good grief, I go out for the evening and everything falls apart

back later once dc in bed, then you're all for it!!

oh no, not really what you want to hear coming out of dd's sweet mouth!
i hope you can both sit down later when dh realises he's being a twat and apologises but a bubble bath in meantime sounds like a lovely idea

Argh, what is with the August 08 men?
haven't heard from DP whether he's left work or not. He ALWAYS calls when he leaves. Have tried calling and his phone is off. But there's no email from him (usually if his battery is flat he emails to let me know) So I guess I'm getting blanked.

oops but also as I tend to slip up and swear in front of S sometimes.

Just caught up in between the top and the bottom of today's messages.

No1 and QoD . Why don't you move in together? Pref to Midlands with a large garden for camping Mumsnetters. Also here is a PF stare to go get the pill precription - hot angry hate sex is the most fertile there is. Sambo How are you doing in the manwrangling stakes?

My DH has just reminded me that although he left at 4.30 he does work long hours. This is a reference to the Royle Family when Denise says she'd love to get a boob reduction and her mum says 'it's not fair on Dave, he works long hours.' So I think I am on a promise.

right

Miamla - you obviously need a piper for some PROPER wedding music, can't get married without one

Oops -don't stress about it too much, I'm afraid I swear like a trooper and its taken me a while to cull it now the kids are like parrots, we have had a resounding 'dickhead' in Toys R Us from DD1 and bloody dog, bloody hell - also from DD1 however it never lasted and she knows the difference between words she should use and words she shouldn't. Tell him you appreciate he is stressed at work but could he please leave it at work and try to spend some quality relaxing time with you and P when he gets home. There is only so much time left for you to be a wee threesome so enjoy it whilst you can, the dynamics change completely when DD2 arrives - all for the better but different nonetheless

No1 - hugs and please don't lurk too much, we're here if you need us

QofD - what a pain in the arse, I had hoped that things had settled down a touch but apparently not. I agree completely re going back on the pill though, his behaviour hasn't exactly set the scene for expanding the family with any degree of compromise/mutual respect and it is a lot LOT harder when you're outnumbered

Red - feckers, kids can be so cruel and frankly I just want to eat your gorgeous GORGEOUS DS with a spoon do you think he would like a pen friend? I could get DD1 to write to him and they can spark up a wee friendship that way? let me know, we promise to keep it clean with no swear words

VG

Sazz - things calming down for DH (see the BBC Scotland news - not a great result but we weren't expecting one ) so fingers crossed concrete plans in place soon

ALBS great news about your trip, there is a fabulous thread on here with lots of tips if you'd likea link

poppy hope the building work going ok for DH, Cairnie opening on 1st April - ridiclious levels of excitement from here

Oh Dizzy - I had hoped there was another high profile case he might be working on not that one.

DH back from his strop and without a word took DD upstair to play and keep out of my hair, he hasn't said a word to me that wasn't about DD but am taking Sazz's advice and ignoring the toddler behaviour and carrying on as if there was nothing wrong. He went to collect DD's elephant that we bought as her christening present and has been sitting at a friend's house since we bought it at auction over a year ago. At least he did something useful instead of going to sulk at his mum which is a HUGE step.

I am going to make a roast chicken thigh sarnie and watch One born every minute.

now I want a roast chicken sandwich which reminds me I must pop over to HotMammas for akickupthearse some encouragement [meep]

Ahh all is forgiven - he has fetched my roses from the compost, apologised for being stoppy and gone to buy me some lime cordial from the supermarket. I made rissotto (although I didn't tell him earlier) so he can have some of that with his chicken now.

ah bless him and the end of his wee tantrum glad he worked for the forgiveness though

yes but now I haveto watch the flaming football graciously but it's okay - I can go to bed with mn my new book.

Hurrah for your DH coming to his senses oops . After 4 years I have nearly given up trying to get my DH to stop swearing as he just doesn't listen So far the worst DD has said was 'bugger off' to MIL which I secretly PMSL at so I think we have got away lightly...

Speaking of DHs I asked him to take over putting DS to bed as he was messing around and wouldn't settle for me. That was 15 minutes ago and it's gone awfully quiet up there, should I wake him or let him have a snooze?

fortunately for me DH hates football almost as much as I do -rugby all the way in our house

Hots - leave him to build his strength up

Well done to MrOOps on the end of the paddy.
Seems my one is still in a huff - he's not home yet and still haven't heard from him.
I'm worrying a bit now. Haven't a clue where he is.

Queenie that shouldn't happen. Maybe its because of the nature of DH's work but I certainly wouldn't be happy not knowing where he was incase of emergencies - sorry you're having to worry

Oh dear, I am sorry for so much ness. Also pretty that you amazing women are not being treated the way you deserve. Glad some have been able to make up before bed though.

Miamla the friends we are visiting in Bristol are very musical and I'm sure could put you in touch with singers/musicians, so let me know if Oops' and Buckets' suggestions don't pan out. And thank you for letting us gawpers squeeze in! What time is the ceremony btw? I must must must book train tickets...

So my exciting news is that I personally am not going to do anything exciting. DH is quite keen to be involved in the project, but not to be based in Malaysia, and is talking through whether those two can be reconciled via the power of the internet. So a trip or two may be on the cards at some point, if anyone fancies a SE Asia meet-up?! Anyway thanks again for all your advice, it is a bit surreal but a great relief to be able to talk about it at such an uncertain stage.

Still no word. Am starting to think he's not coming home.
pissed off beyond belief here.

if you could send me details pert, that'd be great please

got another sulker here...
