    Going to be a bit of a rush for us tonight. I have to walk the dog when I get home (prob get wet as well), then need to get ready for my grandma and grandpy's party. Need to be at my auntie's for 7 for them to give us a lift, so will need to be out the door by 6.50. OH finishes work at 6 on Fridays so will be even more of a rush for him! By the time he gets home he'll have about 30 mins to sort himself out.

    Hahaha, the wicked witch is a very accurate description! Though I'd probably insert "chavvy" into the description as well ;) if they have anything at all to say about it I will be absolutely gobsmacked - they don't have a leg to stand on between them!!! Determined not to let them or the situation bother me though :)

    I will enjoy it thank you - though it will be full of old people! Lol. Unfortunately my grandpy's brother passed away in the week so we're unsure if that part of the family will turn up tonight, which would be a shame. Difficult circumstances though.

    So I've been in the house less than 20 mins and already have a glass of wine in hand! Lol what a week!

    I'm sooo far behind with my work- just crazy busy and literally not enough hours in the day- luckily my boss is equally struggling but at the moment I can't see it getting better until all the new staff are fully trained! Training is sooo hard to do on top of a day job!

    Just went to see Avenue Q to use up some theatre tokens. Brilliant fun, and a very good performance. I did recognise some of the songs. We had a meal out and a drink first as the performance wasn't until 8:30, following a 5:00 performance, which made it a really nice night out.

    Put a wash load in, LO ate his breakfast and I've just had a shower and washed hair.

    OH still asleep. He's taking LO to work for an hour this morning so he can see all the diggers

    Week from hell at work!
    In for 8am each day, only managed 20mins for lunch each day most of which were taken at my desk, in front of my computer!
    The only day I left work before 6.30 (supposed to finish at 4pm) was Friday when I left at 4.30 supposed to leave at 3!).
    We don't get paid over time!

    I'm hoping that next week will be better

    Morning ladies. Feeling a little bit fragile this morning! I never used to be a wine drinker at all but had 3 large glasses last night which seemed to go down quite nicely - oops! OH was a little more worse for wear and he had to getup at 5.50 this morning to go to work lol. He definitely entertained everyone with his moves on the dance floor

    I spoke to my dad about the uncle situation. Spoke to my step mum first to test the waters and she said dad wouldn't be bothered - she certainly wasn't. So I spoke to my dad and she was right, he wasn't bothered and totally understood. He recognise that we offered an olive branch and they're the ones that caused a problem by rejecting it and causing a fuss. He actually said "well you've won that battle then" so he clearly thinks we're in the right as well! Bit of a relief :-)

    Thanks Mrs Wade. The vets have phoned and she's got kidney failure, which could be as a result of anti freeze poisoning or could be natural kidney failure. But they don't think she's strong enough to go under sedation so it's looking like she's going to have to be put to sleep. Mum asked me to go with her if she does, not what I had in mind for the weekend

    That's awful news Flossie

    People can be so cruel.

    My dads kitten got poisoned a few years ago and they rushed him to the other side of town to the vets but he died in his arms as they were walking into the vets.
    One of the adults males got posioned the next day but he was strong enough to pull through but was on a drip for a few days.

    Hope the worst doesn't happen!

    We considered Thai takeaway, then pizza takeaway but then as it was so late and food wouldn't be ready until after 9pm we decided in the end to just defrost and heat up portions of food we had in the freezer.

    Hubby had sausage and bean casserole I'd made a while ago then some chips we'd frozen from the chippy.

    I had chicken and mushroom stir fry again that I'd made a while ago with some left over rice I had in the freezer.

    Easy and cheap. It certainly pays to make extra then freeze some portions.

    Still got some casserole veg, sausage and bean casserole, pulled pork and bolognese in the freezer.

    Evening all. We had a gorgeous dinner. Cheat risotto as I couldn't be bothered with it. Roasted veg and chicken orzo. Dropped my parents at their friends house for a dinner party. Said I'd pick them up so waiting up now.

    Oh spoke to his mom yesterday and they did/said what they did because me and OH had an argument and they disagreed with it. I can't believe they said/did that and caused so much hurt because they were trying to get involved in our relationship. OH was really upset and asked me to call his mom so I did but made it clear how much they had hurt both of us and that I will never forget what they have done but that we would move on from it. I'm still very bitter about it and can't believe the reasons she gave. But I had to do it for OH. Agreed to discuss their involvement in the wedding and if they have the start of mog and fog closer to the time. I am still going together cake quotes and I will never be over friendly with them but OH understands that. I was a wreck after we did it as I don't understand why I have to be the one to make contact after they make such a horrible decision on something that has nothing to do with them. It's over though I suppose...

    Morning all.

    Just realised that I have not been on since Friday afternoon.

    Went out Friday night and have a lovely time just nattering and drinking at the pub where we ate, then popped to a pub with a friend round the corner from me, she got me a couple of shots again. Had a lazy day yesterday, watched Bones all day apart from when I went to the orange supermarket to do the grocery shopping, done a couple of loads of laundry and that was it.

    Went to bed early last night as well, I was so tired, both of us were so at 10pm we were tucked up nicely. Woke just after 830am so that was nice.

    Night shift tonight, should have been doing an early tomorrow and Tuesday but needed tonight covering, so I said yes and they will cover my shift tomorrow which will be easier for them to do and I earn more money as not only is it a longer shift, its part of a Sunday, plus night shift enhancement. I really hope the government does not take these enhancements away from us.

    Emily at least you have been the bigger person- still think it was mad for them to say all those things over 1 argument between you and OH, just shows their true colours- not a pretty side to them!

    I suppose you can at least be civil and it's a bit of weight off you that you have at least made the first step to reconcile! Xx
