Anxiety Attack

Sweet Mommy on August 13th, 2010

Anxiety attack

Anxiety attack

Whenever we have to go somewhere, I get highly anxious and irritable. It doesn’t matter if the visit had been planned beforehand. All I can do is to grumble with irritation and find faults with everything that my husband does. If the visit is unexpected and unplanned, I get really charged up and vent all the abusive vocabulary before getting ready to go. I am such an anathema to my husband. He loves going out. He feels restless when he is at home. He always takes our daughter to different parks or activities during the week and on weekends. He wants me to go out with them, but I declines on the pretext of getting some rest. My daughter has also caught the ‘Outing’ bug from her father. It is good for her. At least she won’t become a house mouse like me.

air filter

Sweet Mommy on August 12th, 2010

Yes that’s what it feels now a days, that I am living in a paradise. I have a lovely house to live in, a wonderful husband and two marvelous kids to love and all the amenities that one wants to enjoy life. Our flat is a rented one. It has been taken on rent by my husband’s company. The house has internet connection, dishwasher, a large fridge, lcd tv, two bathrooms with showers and bath tub. What more one can ask for to live comfortably? Ah! yes ……it is a service apartment. So once every week, a cleaning lady comes to clean the house and change the bed sheets. Isn’t it wonderful? All I am left to do now is to look after the kids and spend my free time ( which I have plenty) surfing the net.
Even the routine problems are taken care of by my husband, like last we the air filter in one of the bathrooms wasn’t working. I just casually mentioned it to my husband. He called the service agency and the guys promptly came to change the air filter. That’s how things go here. It’s in stark contrast to my life when I joined my job. There was no one to look after my little daughter so I had to bring my mother to help me out. That was the worst time of my life. Living in a strange city, new job and I had to worry about every thing from groceries to paying bills and taking my daughter to the doctor. Thank god that period of my life is over.

Looking for New Home

Sweet Mommy on August 10th, 2010

We are looking for a new home to rent. Officially, it is the job of the agency which has been employed by my husband’s company. The agency looks for the potential properties and the informs the HR in the company. They then inform my husband that so and so property has been chosen for us. We have rejected two flats. One was very far from my daughter’s school and other one didn’t have modern furniture. I at least need contemporary sofas in my living room even if it is all carpeted.
My husband said that we will have to accept whatever they offer now. Because the company has to pay £300 every time the agency people go out to look for property. That’s a lot of money, just for going to look!
So we have decided to do a research on our own. We will earmark the apartment and tell the HR staff which will then pass on the information to the agency.

Camera for 16 Quids

Sweet Mommy on August 10th, 2010

Not a bad deal

Not a bad deal

That’s right. I have bought Nikon Coolpix Compact 6 Megapixel Camera for £16 on ebay. Its an old and used camera and comes with one gb card. I bought this camera as a stop gap solution until we buy a new one.
My son is an active kid and I don’t want to miss his actions and cute activities. Six megapixles are enough for indoor photo shooting.
I was also thinking of selling some stuff on ebay. For that I need to take pictures of the items I want to sell. This camera is what I need.

Laptop Gave up Ghosts Again

Untrustworthy

Untrustworthy

Why is it that my laptop always ditches me and not my husband’s? I am left at his mercy now that my computer hard drive has crashed. I mean, I am guessing that it is the hard drive. I decided not to plead to my husband to borrow his laptop. So I am looking for a new one now. I am researching various models of computers. Read a few computer reviews, but I think I will need my husband’s help after all. He is the one who is software engineer, not me. But I know what he is going to say when I ask him to look for a new computer for me. He will give me some excuse. He was saying that my old (treacherous) one can be repaired by installing windows again. But he can’t find the windows xp CD at home so will look in the office.
