ProPoints Let's give this a go

We all have times when we are less active on here, don't worry about it. I have been pretty AWOL myself over the second half of last week.

Fingers crossed for a much better week this week for you now that OH is back home, cat is hopefully on the mend and migraine has gone :)
 
Ummm, puntinell? I have no idea, hahaha. Can you give me some context?

I am glad about that as well, hope the food works out for her, she seems a lot calmer so I think its working.

No we do not have a bank holiday on Monday, we had one last week I think? Its funny how our bank holidays do not allign at all haha.

Cats on the mend, migraine gone but still lingering headache, OH is back but he was very hungover this weekend,puking for 2 days, so not very pleasing to have back. He never ever drinks a lot, but we went to a wedding saturday that was 20min walk from our house (normally we go by car and he drives as I do not have a license), I had to go home early from the wedding because I was feeling very faint and close to fainting. So he called me a cab, gave me cab money, waited with me and gave me his house key. So I went home and I would open door for him when he rung the bell. I was home about 21:15. He came home around 1 in the morning and he was crawling on the floor and stuff, so drunk. He ended up laying next to toilet till 4am, waking me up with every puking sound, came to bed for an hour tossing his pillow at m (not on purpose but his motor skills gosh they were very bad), I had a bad night because of it. Nxt day he was puking all day as well, its just a pain. I was not feeling well he should have been caring for me instead he was completely lazarous.
I do have to say again that he normally never gets drunk and its not like he is a bad drunk, its just very bloody annoying with all the puking etc and me having to get him water, tea, etc while I was feeling genuinly ill and his illness was his own damn fault. Urgh. Just a wee bit frustrated, I am too nice to him anyway. I ask him if he wants a drink or anything. I really shouldnt.

oh poor you still suffering. I hope you feel better soon xx
Thanks hon, I am feeling a tad better todya so thats good, the weather is nice and plan to go to shops and sit outside for a bit when the sun reaches my lovely table and chair. Please do not mind the jungle growing in my garden, we have to cut it but we have algae on our wood and because of all the rain its very dangerous to go out and work in garden when the wood has been wet because you would slip. We will trim it down once it stops raining so much.
