    It was OK, OH went home as it was his birthday. Him and his dad didn't speak at all and his mom gave him a massive hug. nothing was said to him though and already he felt like a guest. I feel so sorry for him.
    Hi Grandad made him cry. OH rarely cries so means it meant a lot. And his Grandad doesn't talk much so does that side to. They called him to say happy birthday and he said 'Make sure you come and visit us'. He said it made him feel happy because we (I) are still welcome there but really got to him for his granddad to say it as you are lucky to get anything out of him really.

    Could it be the weather. OHs are always worse with the changing weather.

    Hi all! Sorry not been on for a few months; when life decides to get in the way it really does for J and I, it seems, lol!

    So, we're no longer either of us working at the care home - they just stopped calling us for shifts around July, no real explanation even when we went in and asked in person. So we signed on with a few recruitment agencies, and now J works in a supermarket distribution centre and I work several days a week at a subscription management company.

    I also volunteer a few hours each week at a local carers charity - just answering the phones, transferring calls, taking the occasional booking for courses offered.

    Wedding planning has been going pretty well though, despite the craziness.

    Missing you all, hope to be a bit more active here soon (especially after Xmas and New Year!) xx

    Ahhh that is not fair on your oh emily. Why has this all come about? Was it all over his sister creating trouble rently?

    Could be the weather, it's not too bad at the moment, I've been sat down doing nothing,

    I don't know. Over the last few months they have been distancing themselves from me more and more so I don't know why. His sister has always been a br@t so that's nothing new. The only difference is I didn't let her get her own way and she isn't a BM any more. But we spoke to his mom about that and she was ok with it then just not when it happened.

    I have had a cold since last Saturday and normally I take tablets and shift things quickly but with all this going on it's just lingering for ages and not shifting.

    That helps! A day like that is good :)

    Magpie couldn't that be classed as unfair dismissal? Doesn't seem fair to me..

    Just wondering if his sister was making things worse and saying untrue things, especially after not being a bm. Wouldn't put it past her by the sound of things.

    I'm just so tired today after the lack of sleep. I've offered to take my son's gf shopping later, so just going to chill this morning. I could do with a couple of bits anyhoo. Then after school my daughter and her friend are popping to the main town, I might take them as I could then put the coins I spent ages counting out for hubby into my savings account. Come the new year I seriously need to put some by.

    I'm feeling really tired at the moment too. You'd think I'd sleep well being tired but I haven't slept well for the past 3 or 4 nights now. Starting taking my multi vitamin and iron tablets again this morning, see if that gives me a bit of boost. Sometimes I do wonder is it normal to feel this tired all the time - is it just called being an adult?!

    I take a multi vit with iron and omega 3 daily, I feel it does help as my immune system is pretty good. Hubby is forever getting colds, he's borderline high cholesterol and I've told him numerous times to take a multi vit and omega as well daily. He does not! He's just getting over a cold at the moment, had one a couple of months ago as well but told everyone then he had flu! I said that's not flu, it's a cold!

    I think the omega 3 really helps with my heart rate and BP, I have a low heart rate, and if my HR rises it goes back within a minute to resting rate. On our observation chart at work, if I was being plotted, my HR would forever be triggering a warning, but it's normal for me,

    Called home to see how OH was getting on sorting our stuff and hes still in the bedroom and not answering his mobile. Bet hes asleep. I get that its been really tough emotionally but we won't be able to get on with life until everything is sorted and we have bought all his stuff back from his house. I'll end up doing it all :(

    Just got out a training call and it is so refreshing to have someone who picks things up quickly. I don mind having to go through things a few times but it can get frustrating. Normall I do an hour training session and then 3/4 15 minute calls when they are actually doing it so they get used to it. The bloke just was 45 mins and said he should be fine :) yay

    I had a short snooze before the kids got back, needed it to just make the rest of the day. Descaling the kettle at the mo, normally I leave it until it is too bad but catching it early this time. Think thenjanuary sales migh call for a new one though as this one is still good but around the lid is starting to rust a little,
