He never lifts a finger in the house - ever. I do everything apart from a few jobs my 13 year old daughter does. He recently changed jobs and is now working 5.30-2.00 instead of 8.30-6.00. He told me before he started that this means he will be able to do more around the house because he will be home earlier in the day. Well it doesn't. Twice a week he goes to the pub with the lads after work, and the other 3 days he comes home and falls sleep on the sofa.
He's a greenkeeper and for the last 2 months he has told me he will bring a petrol strimmer home from work and strim the garden. It's a 3 foot jungle. It never happens no matter how many times I ask him. In this weather all I want to do is go outside and I can't. I keep saying I want to buy a paddling pool and sit in it as we haven't got a bath, but there is nowhere to put it. I have sent him a text message earlier, and it says 'Can u pls bring the strimmer home soon. I've just struggled to hoover and Carling has come in covered in grass seeds'. (Carling is his dog). His reply was 'Y have you hoovered when Kayleigh will do it when she gets home and Carling will still bring grass seeds in with him even if I cut it'.
I've read that and flipped. Kayleigh is 13 years old. She should be enjoying her childhood and not having to worry about the housework. And she has gone to Drayton Manor today with the school and won't be home until 7pm. I can't wait until then, there is dog hair everywhere. And the grass seeds aren't the point. I want the bloody garden strimmed!
So I've just burst into tears, and send him back 'Because the bloody house is disgusting and I can't stand it anymore. And the grass won't be head height if you cut it, and I might be able to get outside in this heat.I'm going bloody stir crazy here. I'm sitting crying because I'm sick of everything. I can't do anything and I've had enough nagging you and Kayleigh when you should just do it withoutme having to ask. I can't do this for another 8 weeks'. It went over 4 texts!!!
Needless to say he hasn't replied. I've got SPD, and horrific backache caused by rib flair. I'm signed off sick until my maternity leave kicks in, and I still do everything around the house. He walks round with blinkers on. And I bet he'll go to the pub tonight with his mates and leave me alone until Kayleigh gets home from Drayton Manor.

), about getting someone else in. There's a guy who lives round the corner and he has his own gardening business. Thing is, we had a bit of a fling (okay, a one night stand! 
His cousins wife told me that she always found a cool bath the best when she was pg, so I said that would be great but we don't have a bath, only a shower. So she said that the new Aldi about 20 mins away have these enormous paddling pools for £20. I told her I had nowhere to put it because of the state of the garden, and they both had a real go at him!! Ha! His cousin is his boss at the golf course so has promised they will bring the strimmer home. Result!!!!
