Yes that's true squirrel

I expected to cope a lot better than I am doing - I really, honestly thought I'd be fine. Very naive of me of course, I realise that now. But at least coming on here gives me somewhere to let off steam and also makes me realise things could be a heck of a lot worse

Well, I dreamt last night that dp and I were in a shopping center and we bumped into BM. He started to talk to her and walked a few steps away from me, I could hear what they were saying and she was doing the usual 'slagging me off', so I threw her a look that would kill. Dp turned to her and apologized and said "I've told her (meaning me) that we could all be friends, we could all go out together, go to parties together etc"! Then they went up an escalator together!!!

What the *** did that dream mean?!?!?

When I woke up I wanted to thump dp!!!!

oooo I used to have dreams like that too. Actaully dreamt that dp met bm in a pub one night while he was with me nad left me to go off and have a sh*g with BM. I kid you not. Woke up in such a bad mood the next day.

NotActuallyAMum · 16/02/2006 14:37

That's a nightmare squirrel, not a dream! I don't dream very often but I'd rather not dream at all than have one like that!!

NotActuallyAMum · 16/02/2006 14:38

Oooohh tarantula that's awful too!!

tarantula · 16/02/2006 14:41

I hate dreams like that cos they really upset you the next day well they do me anyway. Guess its jsut the brain workig overtime. I did keep a close eye on dp after that for quite a while I must admit

Squirrel3 · 16/02/2006 14:43

I woke up in such a bad mood, dp didn't know why until I told him, then he just PHSL!

Tarantula , I have had that dream in the past too!!!

Its horrible isn't it, that feeling you have when you wake up from it, you know dp hasn't done it but...............

Squirrel3 · 16/02/2006 14:46

You wait 'til I tell dp that I'm not the only "Silly Cow"!

OP posts:
tarantula · 16/02/2006 14:51

lol thats pretty much what dp said to me when I told him my dream

NotActuallyAMum · 16/02/2006 14:57

Can't be bothered to do anything else today....

Nothing new there then

Squirrel3 · 16/02/2006 15:00

Nor I, I did plan to catch up with the housework but I have got caught up on here again , dp has been trying to keep the housework under control but he can never do it as well as me but he has scored loads of points for trying hard.

OP posts:
NotActuallyAMum · 16/02/2006 15:11

Men just can't do it properly can they? Agree it's very nice that they try tho

When I first met DP he'd been on his own for 5 months and he'd done a pretty good job but it still needed a womans touch

Squirrel3 · 16/02/2006 15:23

DP had ben single for 18 months when I met him and I was impressed with the way his flat was always spotless but when he moved in with me I was unemployed for a while, so I did all of the housework and I supose its become 'habit' now, he does help out a bit and he does most of the cooking but I usually do the lions share of the housework.

OP posts:
NotActuallyAMum · 16/02/2006 15:39

That's pretty much the same as us - I do most of the housework too, don't get me wrong DP does do bits - and he will do it without asking which is nice. He cooks mostly because he's home way before me most of the time

tarantula · 16/02/2006 15:58

loldp does almost all of ours and he's very good at it too

workingmumnhs · 16/02/2006 19:58

Anyone here. Am beginning to feel left out. I can't speak on the computer at work.

Wouldn't this night in be easier if we used an instant messaging thing or is that not allowed. We all live in separate areas so we won't know each others family and will never meet. Tell me if I'm wrong

NotActuallyAMum · 17/02/2006 08:23

Hello all

workingmum I'm a bit thick when it comes to computers What does instant messaging mean? I put my laptop at home back on again last night, still can't get it done "properly" though. It has built-in wireless in it but I can't get it to work without the plug-in adaptor thingy that wanadoo sent me. Not the end of the world I know but it really should work without it so I'm hoping we can get it done. But at least I'm back on for now

How is everyone today?

Squirrel3 · 17/02/2006 08:57

I'm feeling a bit better thanks NAAM,

I got a phone call about the interview yesterday evening and they want to see me agin on Wednesday!!!

OP posts:
NotActuallyAMum · 17/02/2006 09:10

That's fantastic squirrel

They wouldn't be asking to see you again to tell you that you haven't got it would they?? Well done

tarantula · 17/02/2006 09:29

Hurrah Told ya you'd dond well Thats fab news!!!

Squirrel3 · 17/02/2006 09:32

Its ds's gig this evening and he is having transport problems, the mother of one of the band members was suposed to take two of them and their equipment (guitars, amps etc) but she decided that she couldn't do it this morning!

Dp said that he would take them there but he doesn't want to hang around to bring them home. Its going to finish at 1am then it will take at least half hour to load up the car, then another hour and 1/2 to get them all home at least as they all live far away from each other. (They meet to practice at recording studios half way between them all). It means that dp wouldn't get home until at least 3am and he has work tomorrow morning. I hope the mother of the other band member will change her mind.

Its a nightmare! ds said he will do it all but how is he going to get four people, the amps, guitars and a drum kit in a Ford Fiesta? ds is very stressed!

NotActuallyAMum · 17/02/2006 10:33

How awful of her to pull out at this stage Hope she changes her mind, your ds will never get everything in his car

Glad you're feeling a bit better today. Mum and Dad are not coming down your way next week now - it was cancelled because not enough people booked to go so they're going to Bournemouth now instead. We're going to see them tomorrow - I reckon DP is going to get slapped for sending Mum a valentines card

Squirrel3 · 17/02/2006 10:53

My Grandparents lived in Bournemouth for a while and it holds fond memories of them for me. It is lovely there in the Spring, in the town centre there is always lots of flowers in hanging baskets etc and the Sea-life Oceanarium is worth a look and there is always the Bournemouth Eye Balloon.
