[Squirrel3]

Ah ha! I knew I could get it to the two thousand posts!!!!

Best idea I've had in months!!! Now, just gotta find a way to tempt her up that chimney......

Send your dd's around to mine when they have finished. lol

BTW thank you for your good luck wishes surfermum, your poor dd, I remember when my dd had it, it was horrible, hope she gets better soon.

hello is anybody there.

Hello workingmum, how are you?

I'm fine. I am trying to find somewhere to stay at the moment. How is the new job. Sorry if I am behind on the gossip. I haven't had much time at the moment to do anything.
Did you sack that lady or is she improving

Sorry she had to go or I would have killed her! I had to keep repeating to myself "murder is wrong, murder is wrong!"

Trouble is because my boss likes what I have done with the office he wants me to do the same for two other branches of the company. I did have an interview somewhere else today, but I don't think I got it. I'm sure that the job is going 'internally', they have to advertise it and interview people but they already have someone in mind. I wish they wouldn't do that, it just wastes everbodies time.

I hope you find somewhere, are you looking to buy or rent?

Hello folks

I'm not in the land of the living atm, DP gave me the sickness and diarrhea that he had earlier in the week I've been in bed all day feeling absolutely terrible. I couldn't even find the energy to come on here earlier

claire you're going to have your hands full when little one arrives you brave person!!

surfermum hope your dd gets better soon, I can remember when I had chickenpox - not nice. I still have small scars now. Still, at least she's had them now, if she does get them again it's never as bad as the first time

squirrel glad you didn't commit murder - you wouldn't be able to come on here from prison you know Agree it's annoying when people advertise "jobs" which don't really exist. How's your dd doing?

workingmum I really hope you find somewhere to stay soon, was thinking about you earlier

Naam, I hope you feel better today, I was very disapointed when I settled down on here for a long MN session and you, FANC or Tarantula weren't here, it was lovely talking to surfermum, workingmum and claire though. Its just a shame the whole 'gang' couldn't be here. I'll have to wait until next thursday.

I really hope you get better soon.

Morning all

squirrel, thank you. I feel much better today than I did yesterday, still a bit weak but that's probably because I ate so little yesterday. This bug really is evil - I don't remember ever feeling so ill, yesterday it was as much as I could do to drag myself to the loo and back. DP said he knew how ill I was when I said I'd not been on here

Couldn't believe it yesterday when I saw so many people had been on here - boo hoo! Never mind, next Thursday will soon come. tarantula and FANC haven't been on for a while, hope they're OK

So how is everyone? My timetable for decorating dsd's bedroom has gone right out of the window! Can't be helped though with us both getting this bug, we'll get back on track after the weekend

btw - who's going to admit that they still look at the Loch Ness webcam??

Or is it just me and DP who are sad gits????

Naam! You sad git!!!!!

Unfotunately I don't have time to look at the lochness web cam.

I'm fully fit again today, thankfully. Well, as fit as I ever am LOL

Just having an hour on here then I've got a big pile of ironing to do. We're off to watch DPs football team later - always good for a laugh - but we're being posh today and going in a corporate box so we get a meal before the game, free drinks before, during and after the game, no queue for the loo and it's generally far more relaxing than usual. dsd is coming with us, don't know why she wants to come because she really doesn't like football at all

Doubt I'll be on again today because we won't be back till about 8 then we have to go and visit our Mums. Hate to say this but I'm really dreading tomorrow, just can't wait for it to be over....

Hope everyone has a good weekend

I walked out on Tuesday. It was a stupid argument. He was questioning how I got home from work so I screamed at him. He stormed off to his dads and when he walked past I called his name and he ignored me. So I packed a bag and left. I am now staying at a friends house with her five children and husband. Went to the council and they say it makes no difference to the waiting list as I made myself homeless. I could go down the homeless route but I'd only be offered a hostel and I'm not living in one of them.
So I am going to have to privately rent. It will cost twice the proce of my mortgage but what can I do.
Still feeling really sad but that is now more because I feel that I am putting on people when they don't need it.
How is everyone else anyway

Workingmum, are you sure you are doing the right thing leaving your dh? Is the marriage well and truly over? Or do you thing that if you and dh had some counseling or even a really long honest talk about how you are both feeling you may be able to work it out? Are you sure you don’t love your dh anymore? Or is it just a rough patch? Are you sure you are better off apart from him?

The reason I ask is because I think you may regret it if there is a chance that it is a rough patch, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. If you are really sure that it is over it still won’t be easy, being a single mum is hard and I wish you all the best, I’ll try to give you as much support and advice as I can. I just think you need to think long and hard about it. I hope you don’t think I am being hard on you; I just want to make sure that you are doing the right thing. You seem so ‘lost’ ATM and I really feel for you.

When I first became a single parent (my ex became a violent junkie) I was put in a half-way house thing, I only had one room, I had to walk five mins to get to the loo (not easy when you are pregnant and have a three yr old in tow) but it was only for three months until offered me a house and TBH I didn’t spend much time there. If you do have to go into a B&B you only have to sleep there, maybe you could just make it look like you stay there until they offer you a house iykwim, just a thought. It may be the cheaper option and easier in the long run. I’m not saying that it isn’t going to be hard and we are all here for you if you want to rant, ask advice or anything, whatever you choose to do.

hello people am still around (just) tho dp nearly got the boot yesterday!!!! Cos what happened yesterday morning eh?????? sweet FA thats what Cue MASSIVE tantrum from me and am rebuilding pc so couldnt even get on here to rant.
Have to laugh tho cos dp got the kids painting to make me another card (he got dd to make one apparently and then lost it hhmmmmmm) and dss told dp that he had already made a card for bm and he hadnt CUE MASSIVE TANTRUM from her when dp gets round there. MEN!!!! dp and dss both. You'd think after my reaction that dss would have the cop to make sure he'd sorted a card for his own mum.
Right off to read the rest of the posts now. Keep popping in and reading bits nad then have to go before I get to post cos its just been way to busy here at work.

Hello all

ooohhh tarantula, I'd have been annoyed too!! Bloody men - why don't they think?? It's not rocket science is it????

How is everyone?

Hello,

I would have been furious too Tarantula.

Why is it when I get a bit of time off there is nobody here?

Where are you all?

I'm here

Didn't think anyone was on today. How are you Squirrel?

AND guess what????

What??????????

DP has agreed to see a doctor about getting his vasectomy reversed

You must be sooooooooo pleased.

I wasn't expecting that!!

I am so pleased for you.

Yes I am

Loooooong way to go yet though, I've been reading up on it today and tbh it doesn't look too promising - long waiting list to get it done, takes a year for - ahem - "production" to return to normal and then only a 50% success rate. BUT I feel so much better knowing that he's prepared to have a go, and even if it doesn't work there's a big difference between can't and won't. Don't know when he's going to his doctor, it's on the back burner for a couple of weeks because we've got hassle with dsd again......

How are things with you?

I'm fine thanks Naam, don't let him put it on the back burner for long. What hassles are you having with dss then? Is it normal teenage angst? or is it more serious?
