    Hope mum is feeling a bit better now and you manage to sort a care package out. Know what you mean re missing them, DD who was always making everyone late in the morning is no longer here so its a lot less stressful, but although DH was always moaning about her when shes here for the weekend hes making her cups of tea etc :rotfl:

    Oh God everything is such a mess. Mum has been moved to some sort of respite place has told a social worker she doesn't want to go home which sister 2 thinks is brilliant and she's got all sorts of social workers involved without telling stepdad. Made me promise not to tell big sis1 what she was up to, which made me very uncomfortable and upset, so much so I was wide awake at 4 this morning, really annoying as its my day off today. Think I'll take some nytol tonight so I hopefully I can get my sleeping pattern back.

    Really lost for words over sister2s behaviour. Some of the things shes done are awful. She has tried to phone tonight but luckily I was out, I did have a chat with the social worker who phoned.

    Hopefully going to the last show of the season this weekend. DD2 is trying to arrange her social life and a sleepless over which seems to be getting ever more complicated. I'll just wait and see how many turn up.

    Got some tester pots of paint and hoping to finish stripping the living room over the next week.

    Wine and crisps purchased. Debating whether to leave the phone off the hook, trouble is got to speak sometime.

    Hope things are okay with you. As Mrs B says families can be very stressful. Wine is very medicinal...

    Must be feeling better as I've baked 4 million scones and just in the process of making some pate.

    Off to the last show of the season today. DD1 is helping with car parking for the Young Farmers. DS1 has got some sheep in the show and is hoping for a couple of rosettes.

    We'll go down once the shops shut hopefully OH will be on time. Chaps are off school on Thursday as they're striking, booked the girls in for a hair cut. It's my turn next as I haven't been shorn sine January.

    DS1 has tidied his room after a b0llicking, all of the floordrobe has now been place in front of the washer. Great. Weather pants so may have to use the tumble drier.
