I got the little blighters till 3pm every day then I go to work.....
The list of events and stuff happening is good but if money is in short supply then there isnt a lot to do... :cry:
Poor you. It's better than 24/7 !
My other half ends up looking after them on his days off from work while I go to work. But yeh, evry minute you're out of the house it's like a stopwatch but with it counting in money not time. They kind of have a second sense to find things to spend money on :!:
Well it's Monday morning again. Now what does that mean to anyone who has kids and to add insult to injury ... teenage kids, they seem to be a special breed. Schools here are now going into the second week of the summer holidays and what's the first thing you hear most mornings but especially Mondays - that's right, "I'm bored...". The chance of it. Just imagine, no responsibility, no work, clock watching to be somewhere sometime. A nice thought.
Do you find yourself picking up every leaflet possible to find activities for them to do, enroling them in parachute jumping off the school roof, daytime activities etc just for a couple of hours of peace. But suggest they go outside in the nice warm weather and hang our with their friends and the reply you get back is " and do what ? "
So, is this just my disfunctional kids ? Were we like this at their age ( memory just failing right now ! ) If we were then I really feel sorry for my parents right now. It just seems if it doesn't have a tv screen attached to it or doesn't cost me a fortune then they don't want to know.
Sure I can't be the only one in this boat can I ? It's either the Titanic or a bad dream.

The important facts to remember are the good points not be mr "glass is half empty" here.
It's so easy to slip into a semi conscious coma and focus on the wrong things. Unfortunately your story is not unique and I know this first hand. If you do want to float down memory lane every now and again then fine, it's a big part of your life you can't and shouldn't forget but don't obsess about it. Just remember the good times and what you did as a couple - without the prejeduce of how or why you're not together now.
One things you do need is to remember it happened to you once, it will happen again, only a matter of time. And the biggest point is that you have friends. And where is a better place to be than SH for that.

12 sleeps to go
And were not walking, we have a lift, thats if them that offered are still available to give us a lift
Shaz x
Well we're hoping the only walking we'll be doing is from the hotel but unsure on how to get back there after a couple of slurps :shock: and need to PM Sarah as to how to get to the venue
It's just down to different lifestyles, those who haven't tried it usually criticise. Bottom line, who care what they think - if it works for you, keep doing it. Also if you can't handle the answer then don't ask the question. Sometimes it's best to keep them guessing and just listen to a lot of narrow minded opinions especially when it comes from some people who have nothing to shout about themselves about their lives.
Just going through this thread again, I was sure someone would have come up with Omnipotence - Not sure I'd want it - responsibility and all that, not my thing being a blonde - although the thought of people worshiping me as a blonde godess quite apeals to me ( well, I suppose that's a different thread about your ideal dream )
Good luck - and for those who who have given up smoking - well done, just don't go back.
It's much better once you've given up for a short while, then there's a chance that the stink of smoke around you and on others will help you stay off the dreaded weed. From personal experience I'd say you need will power and have to want to give up for the right reasons ( in fact there are no wrong reasons ! it's just a nasty habbit )
I'd say don't do the things that were routine for you. E.G. If you sat at the PC around midnight and had one, break that habbit and the association. If you had one for breaky with a coffee first thing - try exercise instead. In short whatever you did when or the time you were at your weakest when you wanted one, don't go there and do something else instead.
Good luck in whatever works for you. My fingers crossed you make it.

You're so right, it's the little things that mean the most.
We make sure that for one night a week ( and I know this may seem trivial or some already take it for granted being in that position ) by having a night on our own, where we just go with the flow, don't plan anything and do something spontaneous. It's the " alone " time without kids, phones, other people - where there only seems to be us there.

Well, paradise never comes cheap, there's always a price to pay. I suppose I'd love to leave the country and live in the Maldives. Nice and warm, quite unspoilt, on the beach, slurping a mid morning, lunchtime, afternoon, evening and night time cocktail and watching the sun go down with not a care in the world. But the only problem there is there's always too many tourists abroad !!
:lickface:Spot on Kate, I think you just have to put it down to a bad experience and difference of opinion. Out of every 100 you will most probably get a fair percentage of people with totally different ideas and expectations than that of your own.
Just put it behind you and don't tar everyone with the same brush.

I'll join in on the rant. Don't diss SH, it rules as do the forum peeps - salt of the earth, my long lost family - actually just like the real ones as I don't see them in person either
Moral of the story, it's still the cheapest, most worthwhile and the best around and if you don't want the bells and whistles, don't buy them.

Strange though, I can relate personally to something from every post there, and lets be honest who hasn't regretted a bad relationship. But I'd like to think that it's those experiences that have made me a better person and no one ever said it's an easy life.
As far as wishing I'd..... suppose had a better singing/Karaoke voice ( or is that everyone else's wish :shock: ) But I suppose I'd have to go with the meeting my Mr Right, takes a lot of searching for but for someone to put a big grin on your face - priceless ( For everything else there's Mastercard )

(scribbling notes as we speak lol)
Mike xx
Well, I've scribbled the notes down too, but now it looks like the chalk outline of a crime scene for a dead worm ! Maybe I should use pen next time instead of chalk.
Actually they seem like directions I would get if I asked any of my family how to get to Sainsburys, coupled together with that immortal phrase " I know this short cut, will avoid all the traffic ....... " - maybe then I'd end up at your house lol
