[Lettuce]

Yay! Nats!

 

[Natsku]

Does anyone wanna come pack for me?

 

[Fergie]

Congrats Nats

I had a sweep & scan today . Jnr is well down and engaged so here's hoping he appears ASAP ... Mummy needs a break from the backache

 

[Lettuce]

come on wee man! Cheering you on Fergie!

 

[Natsku]

Oooo hope he comes soon

 

[tanya]

Ooh go fergie! Puuuuuuush! Lol. Try walking sideways upstairs and hoovering under the sofa, worked for me lol
Good luck with the new house nat.

Tomorrow we're going to see a bungalow te council has offered mil, I really hope she likes it and can move in coz she's driving me round the bend fretting.
She can't manage her big three bedrooms house anymore, its too big she lives alone and can't manage the stairs. She's been there for 35 years but they're going to charge her an extra £70 per spare bedroom so she can't afford it.
The new place is in a nicer area, quieter, away from the drugdealers who live across te road and the gangs of teens on the shops, its cheaper, easier to look after and set up for disabled use so she doesn't have to struggle.
But still it'll come down to whether or not she likes it, then if she does it all moves quick she will have to sign the papers there and then and get the keys tomorrow then she will have two weeks of both houses to move before they take her house.

Dh has his driving test tomorrow and he had better pass coz we already bought him a car.

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

Go Fergie go!! Come on baby!

 

[tanya]

He passed!

 

[Fergie]

Thanks ladies

Congrats to hubby Tanya . I hope MIL liked the new house .

Jnr has inherited my stubborn streak and is refusing to budge. I've hoovered everywhere, cleaned everywhere and everything. I even went so far as to clean the fishtank and still nothing. The only thing left to do is to have a hot curry, turn the mattress and DTD . Roll on sunday as OH has bought me a 6 pack of creme eggs to scoff .

 

[tanya]

Jump up and down fergie!
Mil liked the house, par for the course with council properties its filthy, the kitchen flooring is only fit for the dump and it'll need scrubbing decorating and flooring all through. But we get the keys on Monday then have three weeks of both houses to get it ready for her.
We're going shopping for paint tomorrow.
I can barely contain my excitement *sarcasm*
I'm expecting varying shades of beige.. Seems to be her preferred paint colours! Hopefully I can sway her towards a bit of colour

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

Can I swap Tanya? My grandparents seen to think salmon pink is acceptable for a living room colour. It's an offense against my eyeballs. With a brown carpet. Very very odd lol.

Glad your mil likes the house tho

 

[Natsku]

Glad your MIL likes the house even if its a craphole!

 

[tanya]

At the moment she has very vivid shiny purple paint (think cadburys wrapper) on one wall and "morning mocha" (beige) on the rest in the lounge, paired with a patterned green carpet and mainly red accessories it makes me want to cry every time I go in lol!
At least with me going with her I can sway her decisions a bit.
Mil has OCD in cleaning and I tend towards her standards when I get going (I love the smell of bleach lol) so I'm gonna get sil who is rubbish at cleaning to babysit Flynn so I can get in with my scrubbing brush and a good sized bottle of bleach and really get stuck in! I mug even treat myself to a new bucket and apron... I'm secretly quite looking forward to making a difference. There's something really satisfying about going in somewhere that's horrid and making it better.

Hi ladies, I've not posted in here for ages but need to pour this out.
My sisters hubby died suddenly 4 weeks ago, he'd been a big part of my life since I was just 15 I'm now 38. Not one of my husbands family attended his funeral.
Even although they saw him just 2 weeks before he died at DSs birthday.
I can't decide why its bugging me so much. I know i'd be expected to attend my DH uncles etc when the time comes but if you think of it as my il's, il's it just makes me feel they don't actually care about me.

 

[Natsku]

Sorry for your loss. That was rather uncaring/unfeeling of them not to attend

 

[Lettuce]

So sorry for your loss. I agree they should have come. Did they even send a card? X

 

[tommyg]

They sent cards to me, which seemed a bit of a lame gesture tbh. I wouldn't have expected both his parents, brother & wife, sis and partner but if his Dad or brother had attended to represent his family it would have been a bit more meaningful.

The more I think about it the more its bugging me.

 

[tanya]

I'm sorry for your loss.
I have to play devils advocate though if I was your husbands family I wouldn't have gone either, I'd pay my respects but I don't think I'd go to the funeral unles I was specifically asked. It might just be me (I have issues aroun knowing what is socially acceptable) but would have offered you my support in other ways. X


I'm not a great judge though I didn't go to my sisters wedding (wasn't invited) and I didn't invite any of my family to my wedding, in fact I told them I eloped.
But I have a weird family

Manager-you are an absolute c*** I despise that word, but you fully deserve it. You have known since December the shifts I can and cannot work, so why do you insist on putting me on shifts I can't do?! You have put me down to work til 9 tonight, when I can't work past 6. I have told you this many times yet you ignore me. So come 6, I am clocking out and leaving. I have a life outside of my work, my work is not my life. Yes it means you are short a door host, but it's the only way tp prove I am not a door mat! I'm the only person expected to work outside of my set hours and I'm sick of it. I'm looking for another job, and then you're really fucked! You only have 3 door hosts because people leave and you don't replace them. People leave because you are unreasonable! So once I leave, you're screwed, and you only have yourself to blame!!

To myself-be brave. At 6, get yout things, clock out and leave.
