Dearly Be-Chucked, we are gathered here today because, for whatever reason, our man has dumped us!

Re tattoo Startin' were you thinking of something small or getting your whole back done ?

ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 10/04/2010 19:53

Maybees - glad you're keeping it all up . We liked your cleaning updates during the meet. The time really flew by!

Train is packed but I'll get home eventually. Now wish I'd brought my laptop with a film or something on.

DJHappy · 10/04/2010 20:29

Home with a bit of Talking Heads and dinner on

Evening all!

A tattoo Starting - really?

Have you seen the film by the way?

ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 10/04/2010 21:47

Starting - I don't do Tatoos but perhaps some exclusive dumplings jewellery?

I'm safely on the bus so it's just a short walk home after that!

maybees · 10/04/2010 21:54

I quite like the idea of "small unique artwork" discreet but empowering .

Ok has to be done im goin to start "THE BATTLE OF THE LAUNDRY"

startingovernow · 10/04/2010 22:01

Hi Chairmum, I actually thought I didn't do tattoos either (with the exception of MD ), but reading the girl with the dragon tattoo I was pondering the idea. Hope bus journey goes ok & that you get home safe & sound. Glad meet up went well for you all.

Hi Happy, didn't see the film but am reading the triology at the mo. Hense the tattoo idea.............overcoming adversity & all.

Well operation house was replaced by operation garden again due to fab weather. Am intending spending most of the day out there tomorrow as dc's have access. Will prob be crippled & sore this time tomorrow. Neglected dc's slightly due to obsessive operation garden so I've only just fed them with a take away. Off to try & get them to bed now.

Film is very good but quite hands over eyes quite a few times

Tattoos are painful - suggest spending money on nice trip away or a plant x

ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 10/04/2010 22:42

I have returned home. Thankfully the bus was quicker than I remembered (no traffic at this time of night)

Just need to wind down before sleeping now.

maybees · 10/04/2010 23:25

Having a quick t break....
Caught up in JOY DIVISION bio film on film 4 bl and wt bit arty and intense.

Washing still winning at the moment but about to switch on my iron any moment

ps Happy - surely tattoo not as painful as delivering ds at 9lb 3 oz

Do you get gas and air if so count me in !

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 10/04/2010 23:28

blimey Maybees hoping you were built for it

startingovernow · 10/04/2010 23:53

Waves to all...........Ok, never checked out the fly person but my own motto is ALWAYS stay on top of washing! The reason I'm so late here most nights is cause I'm unable to sit down until house is tidy, at least one load of washing done & clothes/lunches etc ready for next day (if school night). I'm prob a bit weird though..........am a bit obsessive about not having any dirty clothes around!

Listen to this, twunt told dc's wear something nice tomorrow cause they're going to a show, he also told them to bring swimming gear (going to swimming pool) & then said to also bring all their beach stuff as if it's warm they might go to beach instead of swimming pool!!!!!!!!!!! All this for 4 hrs!!!!!!!! Wtf am I meant to send them off with suitcases??Fu*king twat.

Sorry but I'm on a roll now & need to vent this or it could intefere with my sleep. In a charitable moment I decided to text exh this morn to say if he wanted threadmill could he collect it before wk was out. Have been trying to sell it for mts with no joy so I just want it gone now (it's interfering with operation house). When dc's were dropped back by ss he told me exh is going to send someone to collect threadmill on tues. Does anyone else think he's a complete as*hole to not have the courtesy to even text back???? I know I'm stupid to expect even the simplest of common courtesy but ffs I had 3 dc's with the bollocks surely he could text at least!!!!!!!!

Hi Happy, book is horrific in places so can imagine film must be hard to view. Ok, may shelf the tattoo idea for awhile & plant a rose bush or something . Twas just an idea.......

Hi Maybees, that gave me a laugh. If they're offering gas & air actually you can count me in also..........

Hi Chairmum, hope you won't be too tired tomorrow after your adventures.

Hi Scorps, hope you're ok. Come back & let us know how you're doing.

Hi Tea, also hope you're doing ok.

Hi Mumfun, Dutchy et al..........

One last thing, ss said exh said he'd take his ipod too if it was here. Is it here??? A bit of a dilema..........

OP posts:
maybees · 11/04/2010 00:26

I dont want to disrespect Ian Curtis's memory, lead singer from Joy Division , in any way shape or form but like Vincent Van Gough if only they could have started a thread on mumsnet I think they might have found some peace ,suicide always a permanent solution to a passing phase .....doesnt matter how black it gets the sun will shine again.Ian was only 23 when he died .
Good film,worth watching.

On a lighter note....
startin' IMO all part of doing your head in and pushing your buttons ,hope the novelty will wear off soon for him and he will stop trying to annoy you .Does that sound about right,thing is I would usually expect that pedantic stuff from a female but all game playing to boost his ego and irk you.At least you are getting rid of the damn thing and can have a fab new room.

H got kids for the day 2morrow so will see how it goes .

I never did manage to switch on the iron just kinda threatened the washing with itI agree best to stay on top of it all but I just think I got a bit down this week TBH with3 day reconcilliation thing then went crazy and washed everything in site.
RE access outfits I just say ,,,take your wellies you never know

Away to find Billy Conolly if it wisnae for your wellies on YOU TUBE

maybees · 11/04/2010 00:33

Course he's not getting his fecking Ipod back ROFL

maybees · 11/04/2010 00:35

Silly boy

moviegirl · 11/04/2010 00:37

keep the ipod, much more useful to you than exh - you can put your favourite music on it and dance away whilst you do your housework

is his treadmill on ebay... a really vindictive person could do loads of bids on it and then not pay

startingovernow · 11/04/2010 00:51

great got vote of approval! Have never even used it but it has a fab speaker system that it hooks up to & exh had paid someone to load on thousands of cd's. Could be handy for the rainy night..........

Thanks Moviegirl. Actually you're right, I must start using it.

Maybees, ipod has bob marley's full collection on it so I must pull it out. If I have it that is . Vaguely recall being told to ram said item up my arse ....

You're right of course he's just being an arse. He posted on his facebook "beware the devil comes in many disguises & even may have the sweetest lips".............. guess I've sweet lips then .

Any plans for tomorrow Maybees??

OP posts:
maybees · 11/04/2010 01:03

Not really starting just fancied a day off in the sunshine.

Might paint my nails or have a snooze
enjoyed my billy conolly ,nite nite x

maybees · 11/04/2010 01:07

Might take wee dog up the woods for a nice walk just me and her not done that for years(on our own I mean not walk my dog)ok thats my day planned x

startingovernow · 11/04/2010 10:56

Morning all. Dc's are just gone so I'm about to tackle garden. I'll be back posting drivel during the course of the day when I'm having my coffee breaks .

OP posts:
IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 11/04/2010 11:03

Why all this talking when I have gone to bed?

Starting, the ipod is just what you need for our dance a longs. And maybe even a RL disco one day!

Well, a mega emotional time this end.

Just had soul searching discussion with DS which was positive.

Been for lovely walk - pictures may be sent if I can work out how to do it!

House is a complete ** hole. Thinking of introducing DCs to fly habit and seeing whether we can deal with this "as a family".

Spring has defo sprung here this am - saw a huge race when I was out and an awful lot of legs. Do you think if I stopped one or too they might be up for it chat with me?

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 11/04/2010 11:04

How do you make the file size of a photo smaller?

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 11/04/2010 11:12

And welcome back Movie by the way .

Sorry that you are going through such awful stuff at the moment, but I sense that you are getting stronger already and I see a sense of humour in you that is always a good thing .

I just saw the Dynasty post on the other thread also. Fun to watch but may I suggest some fresh air also. (A little soon to be thinking about the fly methinks..)

moviegirl · 11/04/2010 11:44

Hi Happy

Dynasty, a wisper bar and latte - it is the simple things that makes life so good. Plus I love the shoulderpads!! Not to mention Dex Dexter.

Have been out for a paper - does that count as a walk? and am on here a few mins before tackling the holiday ironing

DC has just gone out to play in street with pals - lovely day for it.

DH hasnt surfaced yet - is he alive? Did he get electorcuted whilst playing on the XBox last night? who knows. wont give him the satisfaction of texting him - it is what he expects.
