    What is it with men and being accident prone at the moment ! How's your oh now pp?

    Mines at the hospital this morning for day surgery to get his mole removed at last - still never received the so called letter they sent!! They told him to be there for 6.45 and he's still sat in exactly the same place now. Must have had an emergency

    Turns out it's just tissue damage and he just has to take strong painkillers for 3 days, if it is still bad after that he has to go for an xray but fingers crossed it will be ok! We go away Friday and he said at the moment he can't do anything with his hand! xx

    Morning all,

    GF I am sorry to hear you're having a rubbish time of it. As the other ladies have said he needs to wake up and smell the coffee and realise how lucky he is to have a wife like you! I really hope the two of you are able to work it out and get everything back on track.

    Hope your OH's hand is okay Emma!

    I'm on a complete downer today and was all of last night. Popped to my mum's on my way home from work last night as she was upset and asked me to go round. She's been on and off with her boyfriend now for the best part of a year but it is now over. She also told me something about how he had been treating her and I am absolutely fuming about it. So upset that she is so upset, breaks my heart

    She thought he'd be her happily ever after so she's really taken it badly, but it's been so up and down she's not really been completely happy anyway, she is definitely better off without him but it's gonna take a while. She said she doesn't want to be alone for the rest of her life and it just made me sooo sad :( xx

    There's plenty of men out there probably in the same position as your mum - been treated badly all their lives looking for someone just like your mum .. She just needs to find one :) sounds like she needs a good holiday in the sun to cheer her up!

    Morning all.
    So sorry to hear that GF. I really hope you can patch things up and he will realise what you have between you.

    Flossie so sad about your mom. at least she has you for support.

    Woke up shattered and feeling generally glum today. had a really long day yesterday. I was at a work for 7am and didn't get home until after 7pm because at a customer site.

    Have a first stage interview today with an agency for a role I applied for but not feeling it.

    You never know Emily!

    Agency's can be funny people to suss out .. Much easier with the employer because you an see them getting exited when they've found the right person whereas agencies do these all the time so learn not to show expression so much fingers crossed!

    Good luck for the interview Emily xx

    Thanks for your posts ladies, here's hoping she does find 'the one' and as soon as possible - she deserves soooo much more!! The really sad bit that really struck me was she gave me a list of 4 things that she wants from a relationship... the person who ticks all those boxes is my dad :( xx

    There must've been a reason why they split though Flossie ... Lots of the time people don't realise what they had until it's gone and even then they don't realise that's what they really wanted

    Yep he's been re-married for 14 years! I absolutely could not imagine them together though. They split when I was 3/4 so I can't even remember them being together - it's a strange thought! He's the nicest man in the world but like you say, it didn't work out for a reason and they obviously weren't meant for each other. Did make me so sad though! xx

    My parents split when I was slightly younger but they both hate each other's guts and both remarried soon after the split snd have been married ever since. Hard work when they're at war all the time!

    I can imagine. I'm lucky in the sense that my parents still get on with each other. OH's parents are also divorced and re-married/re-partnered, and they all get on with each other too, so we are both very lucky! If they all hated each others guts it could have made for a very interesting wedding day lol. Although I think we would have eloped! xx

    They'd been together for a year Emily, but very on and off, and he was very reluctant to actually "commit" and become official boyfriend and girlfriend for a while. She fell for him very quickly though. He has a lot of issues lets just put it that way xx

    She realises now she's better off without him and she can't 'change' him.. he needs to want to change and help himself and he's obviously not willing to so there is literally nothing left that she can do. I'm now on the hunt to find a man with hair and a dog - that's her criteria haha xx

    GF sorry to hear your a bit down about things, your OH sounds a lot like mine at the moment. Xx
    OH is getting there thanks for asking becci ,although he really p***ed me off yesterday, been in bed majority of the day but came down when kids got home to sort their t.
    He comes in no "hello" "how u feeling" - nothing but "where's my t". I could have cried.
    Still no better today but not been sick so it's a start. He will be told if he's the same tonight when he gets in. I'm meant to be out with the girls Friday, first time out without OH in over 2 yrs so I intend to make the most of it,lmfao xxx

    I should have been able to work from home for over a year but even though my laptop was ordered last June I only got it in July this year! Our IT department are phenomenal .. Then when it came it had to go back because they hadn't put any rental systems, sign in ability, document folder accessibility or anything on it .. It was literally useless .. God know what they thought I would have been doing with it!
