    Em- I wonder if he's gone home saying that he really likes you or something and crazy lady is scared / jealous that he's going to want to spend more and more time with you.

    It maybe that but he's maybes been saying how he really likes having your lo to play with and this is why she's deciding to try and put a stop to it?

    It isn't going to work though - it would be funny if the courts went against her as she clearly doesn't have the child's best interests at heart

    Hubby stayed in bed, I done the housey duties, he came down as I was hoovering, I then cleaned out the filters in my hoover as he was making himself a cuppa after the one I had made him had gone cold. He walked into the lounge with his and only then said do you want one. I said don't worry, I shall do it myself now that you have already done yours. Could not believe it.

    Also yesterday as I needed to do a shop, I just got something for dinner, he never cooked it, he went and got somthing else, then said I had not told him what to cook. I said you only had to look in the freezer. Then said that we can have that meal tonight, this is not possible really as it was a box of fish with four bits in, hence why I got it for last night seeing as there are five of us normally!!! Men!

    My oh always says I do tea more than him because I never tell him what to make... Does he not have a brain to look through the cupboards and decide himself?

    How does he think I decide what to make?

    Normally if I have not done anything he won't cook and gets a takeaway. He said all there was was some spuds on the side, errrmmmm yeah, you only had to open the freezer drawer and you would find something else. Now I will have to get more fish in order to be able to make a meal for everyone

    I like that Becci :) Think OH had a bout of it last night.
    Yes he's working nights at the moment but yesterday I got home late and he was still in his jammies even though we were going to cubs in 15 mins then at cubs just stood around while I was running round trying to sort it all out. When we got home it was down to me to heat his dinner up (left over cooked dinner from t he day before so not difficult) and do his lunch while he sat and watched TV. I was so annoyed but not a lot I could do.

    Went straight to bed when he left as I was shattered and stressed up to my eyeballs.

    I'm quite lucky that my OH either cooks for us or we both cook together, most of the time we cook together. We buy meals but don't really plan what we are having until each morning! A lot of the time OH takes it upon himself to decide what we are having or come up with something new and it's always yummy!

    It annoyed me more as I only got the one box of fish purely because it would have been the four of them. Now that meal is wasted until I get something else to be able to feed everyone. Like I'm going to leave frozen fish and veg out on the side as well. It's not rocket science.

    So much to do today I can't decide what to do first.

    0c@d0 due between 10 and 11 this morning, got gym class tonight, need to order my mum's birthday present online as it's her birthday 1 week before Christmas, want to also get all the Christmas decs up apart from dressing the tree as lights not being delivered until tomorrow. Lots of presents too to start wrapping up for under the tree.

    I can't remember the last time I had my hair done at a hairdressers... could really do with a bit of re-style but it's just so much money and I can never justify the cost. I get OH to give me a little trim every couple of months with his barbering scissors. My hair is beyond rescuing anyway!

    I do miss being able to have pressies under the tree. We can't put them there as Oscar will take it upon himself to open them lol especially if there is something edible. Also never feel comfortable having them in a place where people looking in can see them.

    Me too IDL. Where do you put them flossie?

    I do OHs hair. We take it in turns. One time its me and the next the barbers for styling but he needs his every 3 weeks or so. Wouldn't let him touch mine though as it would need to be perfectly straight. his is naturally curly/spiky so doesn't matter if its a bit off as you cant tell any way.

    £25?! That's steep for a men's haircut!!! They charge a tenner at OH's barbers which I think is at the top end of the prices around here. The average is about £7 I think?

    Gotta get SILs birthday present too, hubby agreed pearl earrings from T1ff@ny5 is the way to go as it's the big 40 for her so we think getting her something she can keep will be good this year. It's easy to order online but think it's a purchase better done at the shop really to make sure I get it right.

    It's just taken me a good 20 minutes to rebuild my laptops left and right click .. I don't know why but the black clips underneath always seem to fall off so they float around under the buttons so I have to take the clickers off and then try and fit the two black pieces of the clip back together for all 4 and then clip the clickers back on but for some reason I can never do it. It took me ages to do the first as I just couldn't work it out .. Luckily the other 3 were much easier when I worked it out! Blooming thing .. Maybe I should just use a mouse it may be easier lol

    Just got ready for the day, took a huge pile of dirty laundry from our room downstairs to the laundry cupboard. I put a load on, took my uniform out, came up and said to hubby in future, if I am working and he notices that the laundry pile is getting bigger, please could he take it down instead of adding to it all the time, he looked at me as if to say, who the heck do you think you are!!

    Needless to say, it annoyed me slightly. Last night he said he would be around a lot today as no work planned, but he won't help out, expect me to do it all before a night shift

    Not sure emily .. I darent send it back as one of the first times it did it I lost 1 part of the 4 clips so they'd probably say I've broken it lol ... Maybes I'll remember how they for back together now that I've fiddled for 20 minutes trying to fathom it out .. I hope! Plus it is based in Bracknell so I'd have to courier it there which takes a while

    Just sent a text to the choir secretary letting her know I wont be there until after Christmas :(
    I am struggling with my appointments more than I thought I would be and going there after, I am a nervous wreck. I don't like letting people down but I feel its the best thing for me at the moment. They will be annoyed as well because I was meant to be doing a solo in the concert but that's another reason why I don't think its a good idea at the moment.

    You have to look out for your own best interest sometimes emily .. You know what you can and can't do :)

    Don't hold your breath with oh helping when you get your house. I saw a brilliant post in fb the other day about what it's really like moving in with your partner and it's really not easy at first.

    I've lived with oh nearly3 years and he still drives me in sane!
