Trying to sort out the freezers still. Just found some frying steak, so I think I'll do that today.
Weetabix - HE
Milk - HE
Pasta pack
Spring onions
Chopped bacon
Activia
Blueberries
Red currants
Frying steak
"fried" onions
SW wedges
Leeks
2x Onion rings - 3

Possibly a M2M day, with the SW wedges as a HE, but I'm ok with it as it is.
Not many super free really today, but oh well!

Well, that's the second and hopefully last flea treatment done. It blummin' better be, cost me £30!
I think I'm getting back on track. So tempted by chocolate and bad things, but so far today, I have managed to distract myself with Brain Training
Will attempt the Wii Fit thing soon, but been rather distracted today with the fleas

The wii fit is so fun, you'll enjoy it!
I know what you mean about flea treatment, it's so expensive! We get frontline for scampi but tend to give it him whenever he seems to need it rather than every month. I buy it from boots though as I can get advantage points then! Really is an expense we don't need along with his thyroid treatment - £20 a month for tablets then another £50 when he needs a blood test - eek!

Aye, it's expensive lark! Hugo is on Burns food which is £42 a bag (a big bag), then on calming tablets at £13 a pop, now this flea treatment. He's still itching like mad, but I just hope it starts to clear up real soon. The cat is pretty cheap really, and is currently fast asleep next to me.

I *seem* to have done ok with my syns this week. The takeaway on Thursday wasn't so bad, the Subway on Friday and the BBQ wasn't so bad, and I'll be 100% on plan Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I know I possibly shouldn't have used a HE for the subway roll, but it was the only sorta carby one I had, and even if I can't, then I guess I can afford the extra 6 syns. The chicken from the takeaway was yum, but there was far too much, but it is doing me for another 2 lunches, and the dog has had some too (both OH and me had the same, and he left some too).
Me and OH fell out again yesterday. He was being a git all day, and for once, I snapped. I usually take the calm approach, but I couldn't stomach it. He says he isn't good enough for me, and that I should find someone else. It's all a bit self pitying really. He is such a stubborn so-and-so (rant ahead!)
So we bicker in town, so I drive us to Tesco as I have some stuff to pick up. Pretty much all day, he picks at all that I do. We walked up town, but I didn't go in any shops as we fell out. He then says how he could have done with going in shops. At Tesco, I parked too far away from the shop. Other stuff went on, including a subway, then we went to see his daughter. Whilst there, he was looking at stuff online, and I asked if he wanted to go to the town where it was, and no reply. So he sat next to me, I asked him again, no reply, so I went up the garden to look at the birds. He then decided we were to go, and he said he wanted to go to the next town that I had mentioned, but because I had gone up the garden, it was too late. So I shouted at him, and he flung himself out the car and stormed off up the road. I then went to the nearby supermarket, and loan behold, I get a text - where are you. So I tell him, and he walks there. He then informs me that I was to drop him off to do a job he needed to, then go home. This didn't happen. He also said he wouldn't come to my parents for the BBQ. So I drove us both back to my parents. He got out the car and said he was walking. I said fine. He made it to the top of the drive, then came back. We sat and enjoyed the BBQ then went home. He was still being stroppy, trying to get the upper hand. Finally got to sleep at about 12, after him flouncing out with the dog, then flouncing downstairs to watch TV and several other acts.
He is full of apologies this morning, and informs me that it is because he thinks he isn't good enough for me, and that I want more. So I sent a long winded message informing him that this isn't the case, and am now getting on with the day. I just can't be arsed with the strops. I think it is typical male behaviour, but when combined with his stubborn-ness, it can be epic. 90% of the time we get on amazing, and 10 days together really wasn't that bad. It's the 10% that sucks. But then, nobody is perfect. He doesn't hurt me physically or mentally (well, not really), he doesn't cheat, he is very caring and loving 90% of the time. So I guess I either put up with the 10%, try and fix the 10% (but not sure I can), or leave him due to 10%. I lay in bed last night mentally preparing for the latter option. It hurt, but I know I could get through it if need be. But I am not prepared to go through it. Stupidly, I think he is, to use a cliche, "the one". I don't have blinkers on this time, and I am more open with the people around me about what is going on (previously, everyone thought it was rosy, but it wasn't). So yeah. It's down in print now. Which usually means its out of my mind for a bit.
Sorry to anyone who reads that!

Sounds very similar to our probs. I think mine is just going through a stressy time at the mo and taking it out on me and the kids. For years I have said, "Come on, talk to me" and he would just respond with, " I have nothing to say". Now it has turned around so that I also have nothing more to say so we don't speak to each other. I feel quite alone with it all. I don't have any family nearby I can go to and we have been together for so long. I totally depend on him for everything. It is just a hard tough time we are going through and like you say, I need to put up with the 10% and get through it. xx

Hey, you back off your holibobs? Was it fun?
Sorry you are having similar problems. I think ours are very minor, but get blown out of proportion every once in a while. I always try and get him to talk it through, but I can be just as bad at not saying what I think, and letting it fester.
You can always moan to me about it. I'm not married, and I have no children, but I was in a 7yr relationship prior to him which ended badly, so am kinda cautious about this one, perhaps a little too caution and callus, such as already preparing myself for the end!
I guess you have to think that it could be far worse. 10% isn't so bad, and it would be worse if it was the other way round. As long as the love is still there, many things can be sorted out. I hope the love is still there for you two
Is there any way you could get yourself out a bit more? In my previous, I totally depended on him for everything, and rarely went anywhere without him. So when he was nasty to me, it went straight to the core. But I now spend every Tuesday without him, and he is at work till 7pm, so we aren't in each others pockets. Plus I still try and see my friends as much as possible. Yeah, some things have fallen to the side, but it is bound to happen.

Try and try again
even though you seem really annoyed with him at the time you always realise it's not as bad as it seems and want to make up with him, so I don't think option 3 is the one you should go for. Trouble is your naturally wary after your last relationship and it probably means you over analyse things more now. I'm sure your probs will sort themselves out, just might mean he's totally got to get to grips with his stubbornness if it's causing problems

Aye, they are never as bad as it seems. Even at the time I'm not overly upset by it, as I know it is him being stubborn. Because if it wasn't, then he would storm off properly, not storm off then text me 3 minutes later. And at the BBQ, he would have gone home, not turned round and come back. He admits its him being stubborn, and I know I can be a proper stubborn cow too. He's insecure as his ex did the same to him as mine did to me. I always reassure him, but I'm getting used to the stubborn-ness now, I just rant about it in my head, and use the 'do what you like' treatment on him, like you do with kids!
"I'm going!"
"ok"
"I ain't coming back"
"ok"
"Do you care?"
"Yes. I'll leave the door unlocked and your tea on the side if you want to come back"
"....can't be bothered to go now"
What would life be like without someone or something to moan about, eh? Saying that, I've had my friend texting me as shes fallen out with her OH too, but they are camping in a field, so she has it MUCH harder!
Now, to cook my SW chips and beans, and get out the frozen berries for after, already had the pitta - Mmmmm leftover chicken

Yes got back last night. DH is working today so I am home alone with the kids. Been a nice day actually. I hardly see him as it is and when I do see him, we are not very happy tbh. I don't know. Time will tell. Been together a long time. I wish I could get out more but he works away a lot and also when he is here he works eves so it is very hard when you have little uns. x

we were arguing AGAIN this morning. We are both being overly sensitive. I got upset as he was winding me up, and he got upset as apparently I was being 'dodgy' yesterday, not giving him proper hugs. As I say, both being overly sensitive! So had a good slanging match this morning, not 100% resolved as he at work, but we shall see later. I got stuck in traffic for 90 minutes in the heat, so not in the best mood now. Hugo had done both his businesses all over the kitchen floor this morning, so the house stinks. So here I am, about to start a 6hr shift, with a splitting headache. Not feeling great today about life, but I know it'll be ok in the end
