aaarrrgh dh is a knobhead!
discoverlife...don't leave.what did you do ? come in here we'll hide you
polly diet coke chicken is amazing and i don't cook.

2 chicken breast
1 red onion
1 can diet coke
8 tbs tomato sauce
worchester sauce to taste
chop chicken and onions and brown in fry light
add diet coke and tom sauce
cook on high heat stirring all the time to avoid sticking/burning
it will reduce to a sticky sauce,add worchester sauce to taste and serve.
it is good with rice but i prefer it in a pitta bread with salad.

Oh KAty, thos pics made me laugh! Thanks

thanks fo the chat earlier too, really cheered me up. I didn't have such a horrible evening having had a natter to you. Really helped. thank you!

Ok, confession time...

I've had about 4 very large baileys, and a huge bag of white chocolate buttons

Mum brought me some homemade fish pie when she brought izzy home this evening. It was delicious, and not bad at all, calorie wise. I'd have had a really good day, had i not been weak and eaten the buttons and most of the little bottle of baileys i've got here!

Oh well, nothing much to eat in the fridge for tomorrow, so I can't be bad. Only healthy good things left really!

Still not spoken to DH. He sent me a text saying he didn't like the message I left him last night! I was literally speechless! I cannot believe he thinks he can turn this around to be my fault for being angry and upset, and telling him that. All for a totally justified reason! I can't get over his text. I"m fumiing, sad, disappointed and just so unhappy. Its really really got to me deeply this time. it just highlights, and confirms for me, even more, that he doesn't love me or want me anymore. Maybe it'll look betterin the morning, after some sleep... Ican't get to sleep just now though. combination of pain, and being upset and having imaginary conversations with him, in my head. All the things I want to say to him, but that he's not giving me an opportunity to.

Ok, moan over again... sorry Go to go and see Isobel who has gone from chatting and 'reading' to her animals in the cot, to crying quite a bit... thought she'd go back to sleep, but seems not tonight! Cna't believe she's so awake at this time! bless her cotton socks

Hopefully catch you all tomorrow sometime. Though i expect youll all be enjoying being treated nicely by your families Take care girls. I hope none of your DC's or DH's have bought you choccies to test you will power with!

night night. : )

katylessbumpy · 02/03/2008 03:30

nope.still up.darling fucking husband is no where to be seen.th escary thing is i'm not bothered.i've got past the point of caring and i now want happiness for me and the dc.

on a positive note it's mothers day
let's hope we all have a lovely day and enjoy it.
i've got my mum coming round for lunch but i'm excused from pressies as i won a mum in amillion prize for her a few years ago. she won

£500 in holiday vouchers(so she went to nz to see my big sis)
£250 in shopping vouchers (she said it made her feel like pretty woman)
and lots of chocs,candles,perfume and flowers.she also got to switch on the christmas lights for stockport as a V.I P. lol
anyway this was the winning entry;

like a beautiful rainbow on rainy days,
even when life doesn't go her way,
patient and caring,a shoulder to cry on,
my mum is the angel i always rely on.

really cheesy but true.that is my mum.if my relationship with my daughter is half as good as mine is with her then i will be happy [

no,i'm not drunk lol
just awake as he isn't home .

we did have a good rave though!

Morning all you lovely ladies/mothers

Anything any different for anyone this morning?

Just another normal day here other than a homemade card from ds1 after dh being told by me that I wanted one, and a dvd I told dh in no uncertain terms that it would be nice to own

I would have liked a cup of tea and toast in bed, and the dishwasher emptying and refilling and a cloth being run around the kitchen... oh well, maybe next year.

susiecutiemincepies · 02/03/2008 11:09

Well, Isobel gave me a lie in this morning! Not that it was intentional. PLus, i'm not sure actually, if she had been awake, got bored of trying to get me to hear her, and went back to sleep! I woke up in a panic as it was so late! Went in to her and she was still fast asleep. I made myself a cup of tea ( no-one else here to do that for me ) Half an hour later, I heard a lot of banging. Went in, and she was standing up in her cot, hurling everything in sight out of it, and was busy trying to pul the mattress up in the corner!

We have been for a little walk this morning. Such a lovely warm sunny day. I still feel so hurt and upset though. saw so many familes with children out and about. Mainly Dads actually. All those mummys at home, relaxing.

Might go over to my mums later for a roast dinner. not sure if i feel up to the company though. MAybe i'll just ask her to have Isobel for the day.

Hope you are all well? I'm going to start SW today. Feel very motivated and determined to get this weight shifted.

LoveMyGirls · 02/03/2008 12:50

Susie go to your mums you will feel much better than if you mope about at home on your own. Your d?h's are all being arse's but deep down i'm sure they love you and is probably as upset that he has made such a cock up, Katy I don't know what happend with your d?h but sounds like you had a fab night without him, are you thinking about him not being there on a perm basis?

I got 2 homemade cards and 1 shop brought (but hand made) card and some earrings, it was my turn for a lie in but i got out of bed at 9.30 because dd1 needed help combing her hair (looking for nits - nice!!) then i got back into bed and dp brought me some porridge and a cuppa, I've been to asda to get some beef for dinner, dd2 is in bed, dp and dd1 have nipped over to pick the fish up from his mums as she is away on holiday and we're having the fish. When dd1 wakes up we're all going for a walk to the park, it's a gorgeous day and i'm determined to get to 2 and half lbs off again this week.

I've had GFY chicken tiki deli filler with salad followed by a GFY bakewell slice - YUMMY
I've brought some weightwatchers sparkling wine to go with dinner!

Also planned to go to the gym this week with my friend.

Susie i saw lots of dads out with children today too - I thought they were probably out getting last min things for their wives!

The rule for me today is no tidying - I'm struggling because i want the house to be tidy for work tomorrow but I also want to make the most of having a day off! Dp has been very good tidying as he goes and sorting the washing plus he's been in charge of dc's I've only been giving cuddles!! Nice to be the one who gets all the fun and none of the chores for a change! Dp said I hope i get this returned on fathers day but fathers day is our family day at alton towers which he loves so neither of us do any housework but I won't remind him of that today

katylessbumpy · 02/03/2008 12:57

just on my way out but thought i'd say hi.
h has phoned but i've told him i need some time to think.he manages to ruin every birthday/christmas/mothers day etc as he is so selfish.

on a better note i have no hangover but my legs ache from dancing
going to my sisters for dinner but it will be ww.

glad you got a lie-in susie

lovemygirls don't worry about the housework.have a day off and chill.it sounds lovely so far

right i'm off.i'll see you all in a bit x

fedda · 02/03/2008 17:03

Let's all have a nice day today. We deserve it

katylessbumpy · 02/03/2008 19:41

has everyone had a good day?
mine was ok.i've been at my sisters.she made a full sunday dinner and just as it was served dd decided to get really tired and cry and scream.i didn't end up eating my dinner as by the time she had calmed down it was cold and congealed.
i think she was just saving me points

menu today
b scrambled egg and beans.1 piece toast
l nothing (had brunch)
d bits of chicken picked off a plate.about 3 mouthfuls

i'm not hungry to be honest and my legs are still aching
i used to go raving all weekend.i was only at it for 1 night and i'm knackered.me thinks i'm getting old

mrsfish did they empty the dish washer for you? [hopeful face]

OP posts:
MrsFish · 02/03/2008 20:04

Nope.

I literally got a card that dh and Sam made and a dvd and I had to ask for them, if I hadn't I probably wouldn't have got anything. I'm still wondering whether he will remember to get me a b'day card on wednesday

katylessbumpy · 02/03/2008 20:12

i didn't get anything.my mum bought me a card off the boy's and one off dd this afternoon when she realised dh hadn't bothered.
why are men so shit?i went all out to make his fathers day special and get nothing in return.i'm not going to bother anymore.i don't give to receive and i truely love it when you know you have found the right present for someone .i just feel overlooked.
fingers crossed for your birhday

fedda · 02/03/2008 21:42

We just arranged the cards - DH with DC for Mother's day and me with DC for Dad's day. We only get presents for Christmas and our birthdays so I was really over the moon when my DS1 gave me a card which said 'The best mum in the world', I will treasure it. My DS2 made me a beautiful card which I'll treasure too. We had a nice meal out after which we were not hungry so we just have cups of teas and i had some dried cereal - granola to munch on. I'm sure I had more then i should but hey, it's mother's day and it's Sunday. I'll go back on my soups tomorrow. I'd say I had a nice day and everyone seems to have enjoyed it. The dishwasher though wasn't emptied so that's my excersise for the late evening time which will be no doubt followed by a nice steaming hot cuppa

susiecutiemincepies · 02/03/2008 23:16

Anyone know how many syns are in a chocolate options? Cant temember if anyone else is doing SW on here... think n ot though. I can't find the inline syns values...

I'm just having a large mug of hot chocolate. vanilla options. hmmm, really satisfying!

Today, all i've had was a plate of oven chips and 2 fish fingers. Did not feel like eating really. Didn't really want that either, but though I ought to eat something. It was easy to prepare too.

Isobel is going to bed now, like a little angel, every night and nap time I'm SO proud of her. still no word from not so DH.

Right girls, tomorrow starts the rest of my life, on the road to slimming back down, feeling comfortable and happy in my clothes. Feeling comfortable and happy with my body. Feeling happy about my self. I can and will do it. I can only do it for me, ( which I am ) I'm so psyched up for this! Really excited. I plan to be at the very least, a stone lighter by may. hopefully closer to 2 stones..... I can be very disciplined when I want to be. Woe betide any one who gets in my way!

pollywobbledoodle · 02/03/2008 23:37

evening all
serenaded by "mummy you're a superstar" then had tea and a crumpet in bed this am...only got the latter because i sent dd to ask her dad....i heard him dithering...he can't stand eating in bed....but dd said "its muzza's day daddy!"...

then we tidied the garden and tonight i poddled off to bookclub

have to say i don't get too wound up about mother's day at the moment...i will if dd ever doesn't make me a card though! dh doesn't really get birthday/xmas/valentines, his whole family don't....i spent 5 odd years sending val cards, which he appeared to enjoy but he never sent one back and i seethed....eventually i started to think of all the little things he does do....they are more practical things but thats him!

sorry to those who are having a shitty time with their dh's.....susie, yours in partic is beyond belief....maybe stop treating him so carefully...he's not doing the same to you...it seemed to shift things last time when you let him know you were at the end of your tether. katy sorry you are fed up with yours too....didn't realise that you were so fed up with him.....remind him that he has a lot to lose!....you are gorgeous woman!.....loved the photos.....have no idea why chewing gum made you pysl tho'...am i just old?

food
brekkie...crumpet
lunch.....tuna salad sarnie, a few prawn crackers
eve......1toast....a small slice pizza and salad at bookclub...1 toast and cappuccino when i got home

katylessbumpy · 03/03/2008 08:26

hiya everyone
polly the chewing gum is a reference to our younger days when we used to dabble in so called recreational drugs.he was inplying that he was off his head. it was really funny seeing him dancing like he was in a warehouse in the iddle of nowhere

it sounds like you had a great mothers day.i love that your dd called it muzza's day

dh has been at it for so long now i don't really talk about it as in acouple of weeks time he'll be doing it again.i've just got to the point again that i'm not prepared to put up with his behaviour.i'm just giving myself some space

off to do the school run now in the snow/hail
be beack in a bit.think thin ladies
