    Hi ladies, just done day 2 on level 3..... Found it harder tonight but that's good!

    Called to see my mums new bungalow. It's lovely and perfect for them 2!!

    Not heard off OH today.... He came down with man flu so probably tucked up in bed already. Would have been nice for him to text just to say hi!! I go all stubborn though and refuse to contact him lol....I'm so childish

    LO been naughty tonight, throwing tantrums and refusing to listen! He's tired out hence the bad behaviour.... He needs to wrap it in though or the iPad will go!

    Lol Emm I'm childish like that too! OH is normally home by 730 so I make t for that time unless he tells me otherwise! Tonight I hadn't heard from him and I thought I'm not texting either- I plated up t and left his on the side and ate mine- he didn't come home until after 8pm- looked at his plate and looked at me and realised it was best not to say anything so he just micro it got a couple of mins lol

    Fuming with OH. He knows I have had a bad day. I called him earlier as was struggling to cope in work but he didn't answer so sent him a text. Started crying on the way home and he saw me when I got back for an hour and told him I. Was annoyed at him because he knew I'd had a bad day but just looked at my messages and ignored them. Anyway. He left for football at 7 for an 8pm game. Normally home at 9pm. I left for choir at 7:15. Home at 10pm. He's not there. I am crying before I get to the door. Check my phone e no call no text. I call him 5 times and no answer. Text him asking where he is. He calls me a few mins later saying that they played 2 extra games. I said and you didn't think to let me know. Put the phone down on him. Then sent him bunch of texts saying moaning ending with don't speak to me when you get home. In fairness to him, he hasn't. Came in and sorted his dinner put. I can hear him downstairs. Im just sat in bed crying. He got a police comendation the other week for saving a woman's life. She had mental health issues and Dealt with it well and got her medical treatment as she had overdosed and would have died. He can do that but when I have a bad day he can't text me to say he'll be late home. He doesn't deserve the comendation. It was a one off. Feel so so alone...

    Yeah it's been nearly a year now already, crazy! We're going back to our venue for our anniversary stay! Our present to each other is paying half each to go back to he hotel we went in lakes a few days after we got married. We both had expensive ideas so just sat and agreed to tell each other as we're saving as much as we can towards a house, so both just agreed to tell and do one rather than both xx

    Hugs Emily. I think sometimes people find it harder to help someone close to them who they are with a lot. When it's someone distant they are more detached and deal with things rationally. He should have told you he was going to be late regardless of how you were feeling though, hubby and I always let each other know if there's a change in plans.

    Hubby has finally felt the baby kick! It's been so frustrating, the baby is often active when I'm at work, but not when hubby is around. If he starts kicking at home and I get hubby to put his hand on my tummy the baby decides not to cooperate. Finally tonight he kicked at the right time.

    Sorry to hear you had a rubbish day/night yesterday Emily - I hope you are feeling better this morning xx

    I had an absolutely terrible nights' sleep and am feeling exhausted. Been hit with the full on cold now and had around 3 hours sleep last night. Went to bed at about 9.30 and was tossing and turning until 1.45am when I decided enough was enough so went and sat downstairs for a bit. Went back up to bed at 3am, took me a while to finally drift off but I did in the end. But then alarm at 6.50. Safe to say I'm feeling cr@p!!!!

    April - sorry I went offline before your post last night. We don't have much left to do now it's just the little bits and bobs now really, and paying everything which is the scary part! We have a meeting with our venue in a couple of weeks time so that will be good to start getting everything finalised. I'd say the main thing we need to do now is choose our vows and music etc and get the form sent off to the registrars. xx

    Showered myself and bathed LO. He's not very well today. He hasn't made it to the toilet in time so he's messed in his pants and all over the floor and down his legs bless him (glad we've got wooden floors)

    Just put him in the sink and bathed him again bless him. Put him on the settee with the quilt and put tv on for him

    Hope you feel better soon Flossie. Can you not go and work from home? X

    Think I might need to go see a chiropractor. My neck still hurts, I clicked it earlier but even though it felt good afterwards, it's aching. Think it needs more than a massage. Will have to check at work to see if I can get a deal with a certain practise

    That's a good walk Michelle!

    GF Seems odd if it is a coincidence. It's worth a try at least. My neck started really aching a few months after my headaches started and physio or anything has sorted it. Thinking of trying chiropractor but I have it in the back of my mind constantly that they said it may be caused by my headaches. It clicks constantly but the physio said as long as it doesn't hurt when I do it then its ok.

    Having a minced steak and onion pasty and bread for lunch :) Yummy! Definitely feel better in the afternoons having a proper lunch. Just need to sort out the mornings and snacks now!

    Fairly quiet in work so far today. I'm spending most of my time working on a display for national libraries day which is on Saturday. We're doing a display on different members of staff, with photos, some sensible facts and some more silly ones. We're also creating a quiz that students and staff can have a go at.

    Mrs M I do hope your LO feels better soon. It's never fun when you're constantly having to be ready to dash for the loo, especially when you don't have the energy to dash anywhere. Hopefully now he's cleaned up he's feeling a bit better.

    Flossie I hope your cold eases soon. Sounds like you need an early night tonight. You need to try and get plenty of fluids in, even if it's just water or fruit juice.

    Just catching up on thread.

    Wow a few OH in bad books last night! My OH was in Kent last night working on a tender, so had the evening to myself. Was bliss and slept so well as had the whole king size bed to myself!! Trying to find a cottage for a weekend bolthole so we can recharge at the beginning of March. Sounds a bit indulgent with a wedding to pay for, but OH has had a rotten start to the year with his job situation so think it will do him the world of good.

    Hope the cold doesn't stay for too long Flossie. It always surprises me how a common cold can make you feel so rubbish!!

    Evening ladies,

    I've not had a minute today. It's been crazy busy at work

    Had an hour with LO nana to sort out school holidays for this coming year and she has been brilliant....

    I'm doing a week in April and a week in August. Ex is doing a week in August too and between her and my mum they will have LO in November so we can honeymoon



    That's a weight off my mind that that's all sorted!

    Just had 2 slices of bread and butter cos I wanted comfort food...... Will be way over calories now but over 7 days I'm still on target.

    I think we need a treat every now and again.

    Evening all, Freddie and his mum did not leave until about 530pm, but then it was best they stayed. It all kicked off in town today just as school was kicking out, some bloke was running around town with a crossbow firing it. Had armed police all over the place. They caught him after three hours and arrested him.

    Had dinner, ironed two uniforms so I don't have to do one tomorrow before work. Now going to chill for a short while before getting showered,
