Wine, generally.

What happened?

GypsyMoth · 27/04/2010 09:26

well what has he done?

aSilverLining · 27/04/2010 09:28

Have a good rant to us and get it out of your system. Also if stil really angry I find violently hoovering the whole house strangely helps.

MrsWobble
I generally eat chocolate and grump about the place a bit. What's up? Shall we send him poxy vibes?

bobbiewickham · 27/04/2010 09:35

Spit down the loo then flush it.

Or kick the cat.

Or flick furious Vs behind his back.

TrinityIsAPenguin · 27/04/2010 09:38

MmeLindt

I ordinarily hate hoovering (and ironing, and cleaning, and dusting....) so whenever ex has annoyed me I get the hoover out.

You okay OP??

HappyWoman · 27/04/2010 09:43

GandT
phone a friend and make a lunch date
Go and have beuaty treatment.
If you have children - arrange a baby sitter and go out (alone) as soon as he walks in the door.

Hope that helps.

ShinyAndNew · 27/04/2010 09:43

I clean manically, usually with bleach, often accompanied by lots of cussing and slamming of doors. By the time the kitchen is spotless I'm too knackered to be angry and he feels the need to buy me wine and chocolate even if the argument was my fault.

wow! some of you turn into household divas when you're angry!!

i tend to shout and scream and then run of crying like a baby....

what's he done?
more importantly, have you tried to discuss it?

nickelbabe · 27/04/2010 10:03

run off

oops

StepSideways · 27/04/2010 10:05

bobbiewickham - kick the cat? thats not even funny.

bobbiewickham · 27/04/2010 10:13

Oh fgs, its a figure of speech!

As if I'd kick a cat!

I've got three of them and they're utterly unkicked.

Bobbie is an animal lover. Relax.

StepSideways · 27/04/2010 10:32

ok, good, sorry, just hearing that sort of thing makes my fur stand on end..

bobbiewickham · 27/04/2010 10:43

Didn't mean to offend.

Back to the OP, I think...

You okay, OP?

MrsWobbleTheWaitress · 27/04/2010 10:53

Yeah, I am ok. He took the children to the park and I had a phone call about something completely unrelated so calmer now.

It wasn't even a big thing! You know when something just really presses my buttons?

It was just that I was on the phone to mum, and at the same time trying to complete my Sainsburys order and getting flustered with that stupid verisign thing, trying to remember my password after I had to change it etc. etc. so I said goodbye to mum so I could concentrate, and then DH asked me to explain it all to him and, in a fluster (and still trying to work out how to do the flipping password thing) I said 'I can't explain it, it's all too complicated and I'm getting wound up' and he huffed off complaining that I always talk to my mum and not to him and therefore I don't think he's worth talking to!

So, already being flustered, I started feeling really angry and decided to explain the whole boring thing to him, and he said he didn't care. So that's when I got really upset and ended up posting on here - and I threw my open purse across the room and had to grovel around trying to find all the coins and cards that had come flying out.

And then it takes ages to calm down.

Ho hum....hopefully we can have a better start to the day when he gets back with the children.

(oh, and at some point we have to deal with his 'mum' issues as he had a bad weekend seeing his parents and has been in a bad mood since then, which just winds me up.)

You okay MrsWobble?

I tend to go and angrily kick football s about the park for DD's to fetch for me and then nick all his fags.

Certainly DONT clean, you weirdos

StepSideways · 27/04/2010 10:57

oh dear.. I hope the rest of your day's better..

MrsWobbleTheWaitress · 27/04/2010 11:01

DH just rang and said 'are you still angry with me?'. I had to stop myself saying 'of course not, I'm not like you, grumping around like a big fat grumpy arse all day long'

StepSideways · 27/04/2010 11:05

heh, he doesn't know how lucky he is!
