Army June 2021

Re: Army June 2021

Morning and waves to the world,

[MENTION=9170]byebyebridgetjones[/MENTION]......got them two and a half years ago.....the hearing aids cost about £3K plus. Luckily at the time, they were doing buy one get one free and they're covered by our house insurance.

[MENTION=8529]mollyka[/MENTION]......you're spot on about the masks. The elastic gets tangled. I'm usually so careful that loosing the hearing aid sent me into a spin. Same goes for people wearing glasses. They steam up after a while.

Ye olde engagement up-grade came out of Jenny and Ads pocket.

Mr JC and I had one of those window-shattering arguments last night and he's working from home today. Can't remember how it started, can't remember most of what was said apart from I should (I'll put this politely) I should push off and find somewhere else to live and I told him to push off and go live with his parents. He's working from home today and I really, really don't want to speak to him.

[MENTION=4040]fickle[/MENTION].........so glad you'll be able to check in more. I'll get you front seats for the ensuing row because its not over yet.

Other than that how is everyone?

Re: Army June 2021

It's not like you and himself to have so many barnies? Is it the proximity of WFH do you think? When things are good again could you sit down and have a real heart to heart about what is actually wrong ..imo it's never about what we row about? Sending hugs...rowing is absolutely horrible

[MENTION=8529]mollyka[/MENTION]........you're a darling. Thanks for the hugs.

First things first............we've sat at the dining room table and had a good long and sometimes uncomfortable talk. It has a lot to with WFH...................this is our home not a branch of his firm. I'm sure there are many going through it. At least there's just the two of us and not parents trying to home school their kids.

We do tend to bicker but its over little things and we end up laughing.

Re: Army June 2021

Afternoon everyone.

The working from home is difficult for everyone. I am glad to be able to get out to work for the two days. If not working I end up being gofer for everyone. Today I brought his car back to the garage as it was showing a warning for too much oil and we are driving west tomorrow. It is hardly driven any more and the message only appeared when he went a longer distance fishing the last two weekends. Turns out there was double the amount of oil in it. Must have filled it twice when it was being serviced. They tried to say he must have topped it up, which he didn’t. Ended up there for three hours not one. Aggh.

The engagement ring sounds lovely JC. Glad you sorted out your barney. Waves to everyone else, trying to pack and it’s so strange. On the plus side I found a chain that has been missing a year, it was in the inside pocket of a wash bag that I obviously have not used in a year. That’s my good news of the day.

Re: Army June 2021

Hi All
Took a little sojourn away from MWO - just like everyone who doesn't post I had nothing valuable to say. [MENTION=9170]byebyebridgetjones[/MENTION] - sugar is a curse to try quit. Addictive - but added to everything and is everywhere.
[MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION] I'm sensing resentment 'cos you are used to MR JC, when at home, being your other half.
But now when he's home and working the dynamic changes & you have to share him.

Re: Army June 2021

Good to see you Benjy -- it is hard when there's nothing to say -- I've made a discovery in the last wee while -- have been eating more sweets - particularly on holiday - and twice now I've fasted for 2-3 days -- anything sweet tastes disgusting -- dunno how long it lasts but I'd happily fast again if I find myself digging into the biscuit tin...

Desperately tired tonight -- just not sure I'm going to last fulltime much longer - unfortunately there isn't an option to go shorter - and tbh it doesn't really appeal -- sort of feel I'd have the worst of two worlds - like you say Rusters -- when at home I'd be expected to do housework and washing and shite that I don't touch these days -- and at work I would be sort of out of the loop -- not sure .. anyway it's academic at the moment cos I need the money!!

Off to bed now -- early start tomorrow -- night folks

Re: Army June 2021

[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION].............you are missed when we don't see you.:hug:
Now its over 24 hours since the squabble of the century I now can't even remember why or how it kicked off. I'm not resentful.....a tad jealous that he gets to talk to other grown-ups is a defo though.....its been done for millions and I'd lay odds that this had happened in more than a few homes.

Peace reigns again at JC Mansion.

[MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION] .... I didn't mean resentful in a mad bad way ...... I thought jealous sounded a bit juvenile .... so a mixture of the two. Rejelful.... :haha:

Re: Army June 2021

Lying on my bed too Molly.. have to get up and be the gofor shortly. Didnt run tonight, had to get 3 fillings (1 just a replacement cos she didnt like it) which involved 4 injections. My face is still slightly lopsided and its 4.5 hours since my appointment!! I was giving out to one of my daughters earlier about something and she just burst out laughing at my speech impediment :egad:

Have a fantastic weekend Rustop! weather looking good. I'll be sending my middle child over that direction early next week too.

Molly, your just getting back into working again, your bound to be wrecked for a while. Plus its v humid out, that alone zaps the energy out of you.

Glad you and Mr JC are sorted [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION], no harm at all to have a good barney and clear the air every now and then.

Welcome home [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION], we missed you. How's YS? and how are the wedding plans coming along? How many guests do you think you can have?
