    How many posts do I need before I get my next star? Must be getting close. I'm fed up of being a Stalwart.

    Im sorry but she doesnt sound like a good friend to me. Sounds llike she just expected you to stop what you were doing and look after her grandaughter and her friend. When really they were your friends responsibility.

    You are not a failure there is not such a thing. Just look at what you have achieved. You are not wasting anyones time and I for one enjoy reading your posts. Believe me no one here thinks you are a dead loss. Do it for yourself and no one else. Whether its five minutes flying or 5 hours it doesnt matter. We all have days where we cant be bothered or would rather read a good book and eat chocolate.

    You take care and big hugs for you.

    Thanks kazmeister that was a lovely thing to say - I think you are right - I am beginning to doubt her friendship in lots of little things - I know I am not the easiest of people to deal with because of my illnesses but I do so want to get things straightened before I start chemo again and I thought she would have understood - of course her house is ddamn near perfect!! :mad: :mad:

    TF xx

    Her house will never be perfect.. you don't live there!! None of us are the easiest of people.. I am an absolute witch most of the time.. I am rude and tactless and brutally blunt and so terribly stubborn it is unreal. I am not an easy person to live with!

    Maybe there is something a little more intense going on in her life.. like the credit card bill starting to rule their life coupe with increased payments for everything else she may just be a little stretched. Is it possible she doesn't want to 'burden' you with her self inflicted problems when you have so much going on already?

    Tootti - we have a rule here, you come and post whether you have completed a list or not even started one. You especially come and post if you are down, we won't judge you, I would admire you if you never cleaned a thing for to me somebody who has faced chemo needs praise and nothing else xx

    TAG I'm glad they are found but how mean, eating them would have been bad, hiding them is plain evil!

    DS1 has redeemed himself, small black cat brought a mouse in and set if loose in the house. DS1 managed to catch it in a shoe box and release it - quite handy with DH being overseas.

    Right a little bit of BB and then I need to get the washing out the machine and reload.

    Sleep tight my flyfriends xx
