Just enjoy it, Katie. As Texty and Emsie said, he's gone to the trouble to treat you like a lady so relax and have a great evening. If you make sensible choices, well done but, if you don't, just enjoy it and don't worry, you can get back on track tomorrow. Think sometimes we're too strict with ourselves. You deserve a treat, look amazing and will have a wonderful night with hubby! What's not to love?

Had a real melt down today! :S Fed up of being taken for granted re housework. There are three of us who live in the house, my partner, my 26 year old daughter and myself but, I can honestly say, there's only ever me who notices when things need doing or who does the boring routine jobs like vacuuming the house from top to bottom, cleaning the bathroom, etc! I'm the only one who is constantly ill, at the moment but, I'm also the only one who lifts a finger! Don't want sympathy, just help and a bit of acknowledgement! My daughter has a horse and my partner has just started riding lessons so, on a daily basis, where my daughter's concerned, sawdust is walked through the front door, so on into every room in the house! The only non-riding one of the three who ever notices it and does something about it, is yours truly!!
Got the vacuum out this morning to take upstairs to begin the cleaning of the whole house, opened the lounge door and was confronted by loads of sawdust and muddy riding boots just dumped in the middle of the floor, leaving marks on the carpet. Well, I'm afraid I just burst into tears! Decided to ignore it to show them both when they eventually returned from their pursuits but, by the time I'd done upstairs and cleaned the bathroom, I knew I'd have to do it, otherwise it'd tread everywhere and undo all my hard work.
Well, by the time they came in I went berserk! I was crying and shouting and waving my arms about - must have looked like a mad woman! I hate confrontation and think this may have contributed to the situation. By staying quiet for so long, I think they probably imagine I actually enjoy doing nothing but housework (if they think at all)! Anyway, at least they had the grace to look remorseful and apologised so, we'll watch this space! An example of their thoughtlessness was one time when the loo had blocked so we had to call in Dyno-Rod. The OH said, 'I bet they have to go into some filthy bathrooms.' That was another time I had a fit, when I shouted at him that 'so would ours be bloody disgusting if it wasn't for me!!!!' The worse thing is, before he moved in with me, he was really proud of how clean and tidy he kept his flat! So much for equality - why do housework when you have a woman on tap?! There'd better be some serious changes round here, from both of them!!
Sorry about the major rant but I feel so much better, getting it off my chest to my Mini's friends!

Awwww Kathy ((big hugs )) - rant away hunni. Theyre both big enough and old enough to help you around the house, theyre not bloody kids. You should go on strike - let them do their own washing, cooking see how they cope, I bet it wouldnt get past a couple of days!! Grrrrr id be so annoyed and not surprised you had a melt down xx
Happy Holidays

Katie, don't go into panic mode as the others have said there are healthy options, your relationship with your OH is important & with children I think it's easy (not saying you do) to take each other for granted & forget about why you are with each other, make the most of the evening & spoil each other

Glad you've got it off your chest & it is nice that we can rant away on here without any comeback. Sometimes they just don't think, my OH has my tea ready every night & he also makes me a cup of coffee, he puts washing in, gets washing out, not all the time but a few times, he also puts dishwasher on (yes this does matter to me), empties dishwasher & thats it, I do the rest, I'm happy doing the rest 'cause I'm too fussy and couldn't put up with his 'shortcuts'. If I didn't like dirty pots on the work surface I'd fill the dishwasher as well, so I just re-arrange it!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in bed feeling a bit crap, throat feels dodgy
Hope you feel better tomorrow Emsie xx
I'm having the laziest weekend ever!
Yesterday I just popped to my dads and today I haven't even gotten out of my pj's. I've done 4 loads of washing and that's it. I'm just sat in front of the TV watching some documentaries on Netflix whilst OH is upstairs on the xbox and my daughter is upstairs playing playdoh. my son is at his dads and wont be back until 6:30pm so basically I am doing nothing for the rest of the day... perfect weekend!

So sorry to hear you're not well, Emsie. Snuggle up, watch something feel-good on the telly and drink lots of soothing drinks. Stuff everything else and just look after number 1!
Hope you're feeling better really soon.P.S. Stay off work tomorrow, if you're no better! No-one will think anymore of you if you struggle in (they probably don't want to catch whatever it is anyway!) and you may just prolong your recovery so ....... do as you're told!!
