The Crepey Buds Of May

[GiddyGiddyGoat]

Err, how did that happen with no one noticing!
It's because we're all on the dark and stormy, sloe gin and prosecco innit.

Sorry for the not v inspired title but I panicked.

Herbs, brave soldiering sounds like a good plan. If I wasn't clear, I think the HT should have either not told anyone anything or else told everyone it was sensitive and not to be discussed.

V glad both girls are happy about skool. There are some nice Big Girls there

Me too please, Crem!

In other unexciting news, I have an urgent appointment at the skin cancer clinic on Friday.

Still very sad about rehoming the cat. DH said "I don't know why you're so upset. It's only a Fucking cat."

Arse.

Rose, that dress says "Rabbi, I have no pants on, take me upstairs now!"

As you know Mrs S I'm more of a dog than a cat person... but much sympathy - I can only imagine how sad you must feel about the Shitten. Your dh is an arse. How very unsupportive and mean. I feel really cross on your behalf. Spit in his tea. Let the Shitten do a farewell crap on his side of the bed.

MrsS, I really feel for you - I adore our little cat and I know how devastated I would be if she had to go. It's emphatically not "just a cat" and your husband is a sod for suggesting that it is. You have shown so much kindness and love to the cat when your patience must have been pushed to the absolute limit and I am sorry it has such a sad ending for you

I am hoping it is a happy ending for her. She is curled up at my feet on the bed right now, purring and blissfully unaware of the horrid journey she has on Saturday. Her new owner is very excited and has bought her lots of toys and a cosy new bed.

Sep 10 looks good for me too and I could put up a couple of people (or more) if needed.

I'm disguising my Big Birthday as an anniversary party this year - same as I did 10 years ago

Sorry about the Shitten, MrsS. Can you not just rehome DH instead?

Ha ha Auriga my thoughts exactly re MrsS' 'D' H!

Really sorry about the Shitten, Mrs S, but I know when ours was doing same it really drove us, especially DH, to breaking point. And it does sound as though a lovely home awaits her. to you but your DH is an arse.

Crem would love to come but will have to change sibling visit. Will do it if I can without hurting feelings.

MrsS, I am no cat lover but feel for you. New owner sounds lovely though.dh does not.

Agree with all the others, MrsS. Not a nice thing for your DH to say, but not entirely out of character?!
I hope he is more supportive of your visit to the SCC

I am having the period from hell - just had to strip the bed. I swapped onto a low-dose HRT about 6 months ago and I had noticed that my periods seemed very slightly heavier, but not as bad as this

So sorry to hear about the cat, MrsS.

Agree with the comment about rehoming your (D)H.

Don't think I could put up with that sort of remark.

Tit squash for me today - must remember to shave my pits when in the shower!

Had a nasty moment this morning when the thread seemed to have imploded. Anyway - you're all apparently here now.

Sorry about the shitten Mrs S -is she going very far away? Would there be a possibility of a visit?

MM - I hate the tit squash. Last time they said they couldn't see anything and I had to have an echography - well they could have just done that to start with!

DD2 - german oral today - I have told her not to wear her bright red vampira lipstick |hmm]

I don't mind the tit squash too much - but I am large of nork, which supposedly makes it less painful.

History here too.
And a school footy cup final for DS!

Ah MM, that is why mine are so painful (fried eggs here!)

LESS painful with huge norks? BTM, I feel for you!

MrsS, our neighbours were heartbroken when they had to rehome their cats (asthma) over the road to us.

Even Biu had a brief feline visitor

DD1 has the second part of her IB French exam today. She said that yesterday's was "OK". I really want her to do well in this, to give her confidence for the rest of it next year.

Cat is going to Scotland. I guess we could visit in the summer; we have friends nearby.

Have not told DH about the appointment at the SCC. There doesn't seem to be much point. He has never been to any of my "health scare" appointments with me (I was the only person in the breast clinic on their own) as his view is always "Oh it will be fine." And when it's not "Oh I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, they will sort it out." I am never entirely sure whether this is lack of empathy or ostrich syndrome.

Not looking forward to work today. My job has suddenly got exciting, which means that it has now been taken off my hands by our new head of department, who never copies me in on anything.

Mrs S. Lack of empathy or ostrich syndrome? Judging by his other behaviour, I'd say the former.

Teaching all day today. My lesson plans are on scraps of paper, and I haven't done any marking. The prep room is full of tutors planning to revolt and/or leave. The restructure means I've got to apply for my job again, and I'm frankly not sure I want it. But what if I've royally stuffed up my chances of becoming a TA?

DP and I are having a career summit this evening. I realised yesterday that I'm now earning the same in a month than I used to in A DAY.

Mrs S - I as just going to say ostrich syndrome - DH is dreadful when confronted with anything potentially bad.

Crepeys - I have booked my Eurostar for 10th September!!!! I guess I'm really coming this time!

Oh gosh, Herbs - good luck with the career summit. It all sounds rather stressful

Hatty, hooray! How exciting!

Any other distant crepey's who we have not yet met planning to come?

Off to a meeting...

Hatty, whoopee!

Herbs, it sounds like the current job will suck so much out of you, it will make it hard to get anything else sorted - I think it would be different if it was terrible pay but good experience but at least left some time and headspace for other things?
