ive done an iceland shop which took too much brain power but anyway.
need to do decking but matts grumping about all the things ive asked him to do. pick up a parcel on a walk hes already doing and walk dd2 round to friends to drop cards off, which as i mentioned he was already wlking. meanwhile, ive sorted football boots for dd2, her equipment for school, cleaned the hob, put the ice on and done a food shop.
i can hear he has the olympics on, he never watches tv.
the opening ceremony sounded like a TEMU version.
im going to go read before i get grumpy here too.
love you all, hugs and loves all round, needed or not.
I think you need to play him at his own game mattswife and stay in bed for a week so he can understand how much you do, its so frustrating when you ask for simple things and they get stroppy. It will be hard but sometimes you just need to shut the door and forget the world exists and hopefully when you emerge it will be a bit more thoughtfulness for your wellness both mental amd physically. Its the little things that help take the burden off your shoulders and when you already feel like your carrying the world and having to ask for a little help if its not freely given resentment builds. Putting others 1st and there is nothing left for you, i can hear your struggles please take care of yourself and be kind to yourself. X

Thank you lovely, im sitting with a coffee overlooking the lake, not as busy as i though it would be but lots of fishermen enjoying the peace and some sleeping lol. I'll go for a walk around the lake in a bit and enjoy another coffee and may even treat myself to lunch as it smells amazing. Have a great weekend x
thanks lovely. ive pretty much just spent a week in bed, stuff just doesnt get done and i rather suspect the "youre acting fine" that i got from dd2 despite not wanting to cuddle me in case she got covid, came from him.
ive done an iceland shop with pepsi on it and now all of a sudden package is being picked up and dd2 being walked round and discussed deck but said it says rain on his thing, which it does now but not much.
maybe none of those things are connected and its my stupid brain trying to make sense of things where there doesnt need to be any.
back to my books where the broken are fixed coz its not real.

I once heard a doctor say 'children suck the life out of mums' I added that it's men who do this!
Haze, that sounds a nightmare re your solicitor - what on earth do they need to see bank statements for? If you were getting a mortgage or something I could understand the bank / building society needing them but surely no need for solicitor to have them. Sounds like some sort of delaying tactic as they know it will take you a while to source. You probs need a local recommendation tho - best of luck with it!
Enterprise, do you have a Skechers or a Skechers at an outlet place near you? They had some lovely sandals in at Cheshire Oaks when we were there last week - me and my mate both got some (different ones)
I wish we had an outlet, unfortunately we live in a "prosperous" area, aka bloody expensive, no outlets within about 50 miles.
What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

Haven't read back but I've just bought a second pair of Skechers Bobs sandals from the rain forest. Just under Β£30 for my size but other sizes were less. So comfy, bought Navy last year off ebay but noticed black on amazon last week. Struggling with comfy footwear. Sign of getting old. π€£
It was lovely last night and we sat outside with couple of gin and tonics , both waking up with thick heads this morning. We are lightweights!! I've felt a bit groggy all day but managed a few hours of weeding before rain stopped play. I hid in the greenhouse with one of the feralsπuntil it stopped. I know how it feels BB to be attached to pets that don't even belong to you. I always regard them as mine.β€οΈ
Just looking at the dried chickpeas on the Sains thread and wondering if it's any cheaper buying them rather than canned. Perhaps not when you factor your energy costs to cook them. We eat quite a few and I did them in the air fryer today with oil and smoked paprika. Served with tinned tuna and salad. They were lush π€π€π€π€

I hate not being able to buy comfy footwear apart from my hotter shoes,

Size 8 in black are only Β£26 something but they do come up slightly big. I'm usually an 8 but went for a 7.
I've just noticed inna online. She loves to make the early morning cuppasππππ
My alarm goes off at 6am. I turn my laptop on for a short time to quickly get spins on freejackpot and if i get time have a quick peep into forum
Back in april I persuaded my 71 yr old dad to visit me (from Ukraine). He arrived this wednesday after travelling in 2 overnight trains and a first in his life plane journey! My parents got divorced when I was 7, I haven't lived with him for a long time! Not sure how long he'll stay with me, we'll give it a month and see how we get on. But winters in Ukraine are harsh, and I'd feel bad sending him back if things don't improve there. It's an odd feeling having dad back in my life. He's been telling me about his mum's side of the family going back to 1920's, fascinating stuff. I'll be going on summer hols soon with kids, he'll be on housesitting duties.
