buliej- firstly can I say I am really sorry to hear about your eggs not making it. I know each dissapointment like that dashes hopes and can be a real blow so I hope you are doing OK. hugs

secondly, i can relate to what you said about your DH watching the news and not paying you attention when you walked in...need/expecting attention straight away. Sometimes it's ben the same with DH and I...and if I snap and yell he gets defensive and upset...yet if I calmly explain, he does what I need every time. Thanks for taking the time to share.

rach- thanks for the support also
