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

Yes that would be nice wouldn't it?

At least it's not so cold now, but it's really, really windy here today. I've got very long hair and it blows it all in my face so I can't see where I'm walking

I dont want to even think about hte wind atm. My legs have been aching something cronic over the past 2 weeks cos of the wind. Its great getting into work but hte journey home is HELL!!!!!!! So glad I dotn have to cycle anywhere tomorrow. Am plannig to spend sometime in the garden and plant the spuds which should ahve gone in last weekend.

I keep looking at the garden and thinking "We really should make a start...." I hate our garden - it's far too big and it's on 3 levels. There's a small patio area outside the french doors then you have to go up steps to the next level which has a big patio and a small lawn then you go up more steps to the top level where the pond is, and this level has a steep bank on it about 3 feet high. It's a nightmare to mow! I'm not a gardener - can you tell??

Blimey NAAM that is a big garden. And a patio too very swish. We ahve a long thin garden and its got a concrete bit at the top (def NOT a patio or anything like that) then a long strech of grass (I hesitate to call it a lawn). then what will be the veggie plot once its planted and a dump at the back of all the crap we need to take to the dump. the dump area is where we are going to put our shed hopefully.

Only 44 mins to home time and it cant come quick enough for me I can tell you.

tarantula I had one of those afternoons today too, just seemed to go oooon and ooooon

squirrel did you go to the doctors today?

good morning everyone.

hope everyone is feeling better. will have to catch up soon

That woman is infuriating.

MIL doesn't like me staying at my friends house. Due to friend having 5 children DD doesn't get much sleep so MIL says she would prefer DD to stay with her. That isn't going to happen. DD comes with me. We are a package. She has accepted that. I thought.

Asked her mind her tonight so DD can get a decent nights sleep but she says she will only mind her if I stay at home with DP. If I go to friends house then she won't mind her so she will have to come with me. That isn't a problem but she is contradicting herself. DP is going to the pub with friend so he can't maind her either.

They are not helping their case at all. If I get my flat and they continue in this way they are seriously running the risk of not seeing her very often.

She can not bully me into staying. I am going to friends house out of spite now. If I had another childminder I'd not send DD to her when I'm in work but she has me over a barrell on that one.

Hello everyone, not been on for a while, all hectic here. MIL gone home (hurrah) but my dad has to have bypass so has all been a bit manic. Workingmum, I'm so sorry its all so hard at the moment. Try not let MIL influence what you do over dp. I really do know its hard, but its about the two of you, not her. Hang in there xx

Hello everyone, how are we all?

claire glad your MIL has gone, hope you Dads OK

workingmum your MIL sounds like a nightmare but I agree with claire - don't let her dictate what you do/don't do

squirrel how are you?

tarantula hope you didn't get blown away going home on Friday

I weighed myself on Friday, first time for months - not good So I'm on a serious diet now until 9th June when DP and I go away for a week. Going to lose 2 stone. I'm still allowed virtual alcohol though

Hiya everyone. Just tucking into a goodfellas pizza with a glass of red wine. mmmm delicious. How is everyone else

Naam and tarantula, sorry you are going to have to nag me some more, I didn't get chance to go to the dr's, then Saturday I broke a tooth so I've got to go to the dentist now, I booked it for my day off, the dentist is next door to the dr's so I'll pop in then.

Workingmum pizza and red wine, so life isn't that bad then.

Ok, so where are you all?

Boo hoo! Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I'm going in the garden to eat lots of worms.

I'm here!!!!

Had a busy morning, how dare they???

How are you squirrel?

I've been a very naughty girl today and phoned work and told them that I have a water leak and I've got water pouring through the kitchen ceiling, I just needed some time off.

I feel like a naughty school girl bunking off school!

Hello all. Havitn a majorly busy morning here as the lads were moving some stuff last night and nothign was working when I got in. got 2 mins to sit down now.
oooooo at broken tooth Squirrel that sounds painful. Glad you are getting both dentist and dectors sorted. I must admit I HATE going to the docs too and rarely go unless I HAVE to.

gotta fly speak soon

Do tarantula's have wings? Mmmmmmmmmmm, I have a vision of a tarantula with beautiful angel wings flying around an office now. Talk to you later, I hope.

Don't worry Squirrel - we all take sickies every now and then

So you're off to the doctor and dentist on Thursday then, that's good. You're not feeling any better then?

hello tarantula

Not feeling much better, infact I don't feel to good at all, hence the day off. I just wish I knew what was wrong with me, it might be stress related I supose, I hate my boss, she even told me that dd should never have had children, let alone have a second one!!!!

She keeps on trying to tell me what to do with her i.e. I should "phone the social services and let them look into the situation if dd can't manage to look after them without my help".

Got to admit I came close to hitting her, don't know how I managed to control myself, she is always having a go at me, then when talking to other people or writing anything down about me she hasn't a bad word to say and sings my praises. She doesn't like me, but she knows how to make my life miserable without me having no proof, she is 'playing the game'.

Which is why I can't settle at work and why I am applying for other jobs as we speak.

How are you? (A lot better than me I hope, sorry for the mammoth moan again )

No apology necessary. Not surprised you're angry, what kind of person would say something that?? Unbelievable!! I think she's probably worried that you're doing such a good job you'll take over from her one day Which doesn't help you very much I know, not surprised you're looking for something else

I'm not too bad, had a major strop with DP at the weekend because he had a text off his ex and lied to me and said it was from a friend of his. Might sound daft but it's really dented my trust in him - I'm wondering what else he's lied to me about now. He says there isn't anything but he would wouldn't he??

Bloody men!!

That's my rant for today

Don't blame you for being angry, but he probably lied because he thought it might save an argument, was the text about something you might have got upset about? Men can be soooooo stupid sometimes they think that 'what we don't know can't hurt us'. They don't think of what goes on in our heads when we find out that they have been less than truthful.

Ooooo Naam, you have just reminded me that when I first met dp he had a 'stalker', he had a verfy brief fling with her but she wouldn't leave him alone. Eventually he had to be really nasty and tell her to erm 'go away'. He told me about it and although I wasn't happy about it I was glad he told me and he deleted her number from his phone in front of me. Later, ds and I were in his car when he got a text mgs, "See who that is" dp said. When I read the text I was very confused because it was from somebody called 'Pete' but it was obviously from a woman. I can't remember what it said exactly, it wasn't sexual or anything like that - it was just a general 'hello' but you could tell it was from a woman. I questioned him on it and he went quiet pulled up at the side of the road and he asked ds if he wouldn't mind getting out of the car so we could talk. He then admitted that this woman had been texting him, he hadn't replied but he had put her name as Pete as he didn't want to risk loosing me but he couldn't stop her texting and he didn't know what to do.... I soon sorted out the problem, I trashed his phone!!!!!!

Sorry, been for lunch then got distracted

PMSL at you trashing his phone, that's the kind of think I'd do....

No it wasn't anything that would have upset me - she just asked if he was at work. She probably wanted DP to take his dd somewhere or something, but he promised me a while ago (after yet another row about her phoning/texting him) that he'd let me know whenever he hears from her, and he also promised last year - after he lied to me about something else - that he'd never lie to me again, that's why I was so angry

I don't understand why he didn't tell you about it then, unless he didn't think it was an important text so it went out of his mind, men do tend to have a 'selective' memory.

Nice lunch?

Oh yes, he has a very selective memory when it suits him - don't they all???

Lunch was OK thank you - DP came down to see me, he's on nights atm, we went and sat by the lake. In the car I hasten to add - it's still quite cold here. Didn't feed the ducks today though, much to their disgust. I'm certain they get used to which cars they get food from
