Oooh sounds exciting, Discoverlife!
I like to be taken out for lunch or similar. Seeing as ds's are quite young and don't have any money, I don't expect any pressies or cards but I do expect them to ask their dad for assistance in taking me out

discoverlife · 29/02/2008 17:22

All Psych'd up to go and it started raining. I'm eager but not a masochist. So I sat down with DS2 and started to teach him how to sew. This one at least will know how to put a patch on his jeans.

katylessbumpy · 29/02/2008 17:33

Well, I had a call from DH earlier telling me he wa working sunday night, in sunderland. He was leaving at 4pm this arvo, when he was supposed to be here by lunchtime.

He's forgotton about mothers day again, 2nd year running. Informed me he's booked 10 men to work, which he needs to supervise overnight.

Spectacularly cocked up last year, and made it worse by ignoring my calls for 3 days. We were having a rough time back then...

He was doing a ring around to find someone else to supervise. He's now not answering my calls. SO I take it he's not found anyone. I'm so upset. was just saying on another thread, I don't think i ought to be posting when i feel like this, so i'll catch you later.

Oh, diet going ok today. Got my SW books. will start in morning if i'm on my own this weekend. If a miracle happens, and DH is here, i'll start monday morning, without fail. Sorry girls. see you in a bit maybe

DS2 came home on Sunday and he had a fantastic time.
My Mum said it was freezing there (Pontins Prestatyn), heavy frost everynight, but they had paid for a more expensive chalet so that they could have the electric included so they had the heating on all night. The breakfasts were as much as you could eat buffet with loads of choice, they didn't eat lunch they were still stuffed. Evening meals again big buffet loads of choice, 2nd's and 3rd's allowed they paid for Half Board.
Mum only paid an extra £25 whilst they were there for extra activities which were at £10 for 3 sessions, 1 1/2 hours each session. So DS2 had fun on, Go-carting, Quad biking, Archery, BMX'ing, I think by his description Motor cross biking as well. Climbing wall and snorkling. There was an included swimming pool with slides and outdoor stuff like crazy golf. but it was tooo cold for that.
Mum said the day went, breakfast, say bye bye to DS at 10.30 as he went off to his activity, meet up again for a cuppa at 12ish, then say bye again at 1.30 till 3pm then off to bingo till dinner. After dinner off to the kids show till 10pm then bed as they were so shattered. In between it all they managed to watch some dvd's as well. She thought it was a great break and will probably do it or something similar again next time she has him, as it was a break for her as well as she didn't have to organise anything. When they worked out the cost she thinks she spent less than she would have by having him at home and taking him individually to different venues. It worked out at £25 per person, per day Half Board in the most expensive chalet the camp had.

discoverlife · 29/02/2008 18:21

Suggestions about which fitness DVD to get please. I want more bias on strengthening exercises, rather than cardio. If I want more cardio I will just head out in a different direction over the hills. Or dig a hole in the garden. So lots of squats and crunches etc. I am not going to like this.

katylessbumpy · 29/02/2008 18:23

wow he sounds like he had a great time.i used to go to that pontins every year as a child.darts week lol
it was the best place in the world!
has it been modernised now.last time i went was new year 97/98.it was the year the storms blew some off the roofs off.
oh i have such great memories off that place

OP posts:
discoverlife · 29/02/2008 18:51

I honestly don't know if its been modernised or when, because the last time I was in there I was smuggled in by a bloke to his chalet. (I used to live near there and Prestatyn and Rhyl were my teenage stomping grounds.

MrsFish · 29/02/2008 19:20

discoverlife - I recommend Davinas 30 min workouts, I did so many crunches yesterday morning I'm still aching now

katylessbumpy · 29/02/2008 19:22

evening ladies

what about a pilates video discoverlife? slow toning versions of crunches etc that are effective but less sweaty...

susie don't sit and churn, come on, rant away (unless you think it will make you worse)....your husband pushes it doesn't he my 1st mum's day, dh drew me a card of a mum and baby(cue tears ++)but since then he's reverted to type and relies on whatever playschool have made.....

went to a "surprise day" at dds playschool today where they sang lovely mummy songs, made us jam sandwiches with their own little hands and drew us pictures of ourselves. I was shopping in mine! wasn't a dry eye in the house....

anyway because of that, haven't been swimming today but dh is taking us next week...looking forward to the rapids...

today
brekkie....muesli,skimmed milk
mids......a jam sarnie
lunch.....beans on unspread toast, melon
eve.......salmon, 6 wedges, mixed veg....and semolina with skin

pollywobbledoodle · 29/02/2008 20:38

pollywobbledoodle · 29/02/2008 21:32

am obviously on my own tonight...boo hoo...will retire with a good book i think...

susiecutiemincepies · 29/02/2008 21:43

Thank you girls. I'm not stopping long, just wanted to say sorry again for the moan. I feel so disappointed and upset, and just angry with him. Its make me feel even more worthless, and once again, bottom of the pile of priorities. Cant believe he's done this to me again. Not just the mothers day thing, but, not coming home for the weekend, and putting work first.
He's obsessed with us not having enough money, but i'm back on full pay at the moment, so we have more than we've had in over a year.... he gets paid so well for weekends, especially nights. However, i've told him time and time again, whats the point in providing and supporting a family you are never with. A family that might not always just be here, safely for him to come and find the warmth and love we have here for him. He doesnt deserve us at the moment, and I know I dont deserve this either.

Its not deliberate, I know its not. Its him being a thoughtless, forgetful t**t. He was convinced it is next weekend.... despite the fact that I'm going out saturday night next weekend and we will be in a hotel, next weekend, and he is babysitting Isobel next weekend, so I can find a bit of my life back. next Fucking weekend oh, and of course NEXT FRIDAY i'm seeing the lovely bumpless katy!

JUst feel bad, ranting all the time here... fuckety fuck, fuck fuck. sorry about my language. not like me i know, but this is what i've been made to feel. I will feel better in a bit, i'm sure. plus, v bad pain yet again, so not helping, and I think AF is thinking of making a visit.

susiecutiemincepies · 29/02/2008 21:46

I've been chatting over here

sorry polly, didn't mean to leave you alone... just got venting!
I ought to go to bed really... get a decent sleep
( ha ha ) things might not look so shitty in the morning.

fedda · 29/02/2008 22:26

It's mother's day on Sunday. My be we'll get some nice treats . Anyway, I was trying hard to avoid the coffee shop and I did. I had quark for breakfast and some slices of cucumber, chese toasty with grapes, then some bluberries for lunch, bluberries, blackberries and grapes for snacks, coffee with 2 sugars at 4pm and salmon with home made french fries and peas for dinner, followed by tiny piece of cheese with celery and crackers and tea with 1 sugar. I'll have another cup of tea with crackers in 10 minutes or so. I think I eat more then i should and tha's why my weight stays higher then I need, I'd like to loose 3,5 kg. Still, i think it was a good day in spite of the wind and the rain, it made me walk faster

spottyshoes · 29/02/2008 22:51

I forgot how to find you again! have saved it this time! Yes i'm back in my home with 10 million boxes! but will you see my norks???!!! erm..... maybe not! they are not what they used to be lol. I may change my name but dont know how! Pleaseenlighten me someone!

I was doing so well today, mind you it was only because the cream for the peppercorn sauce had gone off. I was dribbling at the thought of a pork steak with peppercorn sauce and I just dumped the cream in the pan and thought Urrrgghh, and ended up washing the pork steaks and having to slap them back in a clean pan to frazzle them again. So I allowed my lack of will power free reign by sitting down and eating a quarter pound bloke of edam, eaten slowly by shaving off slices one by one. Well there is always tomorrow, but going by the wind I won't be going out for any exercise, I will just have to have a word in DH's ear about my 'exercise needs' Ahem.

fedda · 01/03/2008 00:10

I was so good today but I decided to have this cup of tea and there you go. One sugar with tea, then crackers, then 3 fudge sweets, still not enough so I had a chocolate Penguine. What was i doing or thinking about? At this rate i could have gone to the coffee shop in the morning, at least it wouldn't have been after 10 pm. Am I hard on myself? I don't think so. Okay, must be good tomorrow. I better not weigh myself in the morning.
