Have only probably listed half my jobs but have decided to keep it to 50 lol and will only be able to add more when I have done some - must see if this will help me get some things done - the list is too overwhelming at the moment so maybe if I try to do 1 or 2 off it I will get there - i have been procrastinating far too long and then when my mind wants to do things my body cant manage!!! I am getting stressed about the amount of things to do and it just makes it worse.

Sorry for the extra long post - but i thought if I put some of it down on here and kept forwarding my list you would all keep nagging me!!!

I havent been able to catch up on the thread - I had over 8 pages to read and decided that i would be just putting off getting going.
Hugs to EVERYONE and welcome to the new flyers - hope you enjoy it as much as i do (when I get going!)

Toots xx

I've been really good and am having my first break! I think I'll be done by lunchtime - late lunchtime.

PP how you getting on with your painting - how you are doing it with 8 kids on school hols I do not know

Rach have a lovely time and hope DH is relaxed and in the mood for love

Polka you are a lovely friend, sending calming happy vibes

Shell it is an AGA - so on all the time, I have more storage than it looks as all the wall cupboards have been taken off to make painting easier.

Tooti - have a rest today, writing a list will help organise your mind! Why don't you do all the sitting down jobs, like the jobs at the computer so that you have done something without too much physcial exertion. xx

meh... know i said i wouldnt post here anymore but never needed you guys so much need somone to tell how upset i am and i dont have any real friends in "the real world" i could tell.... plus your the only people who would also understand my despair that sarahs gorgeous nursery (and numerous rooms around the house) are now packed to the ceiling with binbags and boxes and furniture...... so much so i cant even step into the nursery as its that full

Today is the day ive been dreading happening for over 12 months and it finally has.OH not being able to pay the mortgage on his old place and it being in too poor a state to sell has finally caught up with him and its being repossessed in an hour or so...

Weve spent the last few days clearing the last of all his stuff out.. and now its dawning on me that its happening and also that as the house was already in negative equity when we got it valued few months ago to sell it privately were now looking at being another 20k in debt by end of the day possibly... added to the 30k he/we already have.

Were not gonna be able to have our own place ever by the looks of it as we'll struggle to get another mortgage with high debts, a repossession and just his low wage coming in... and were gonna spend the next god knows how many years struggling to pay of all the debt..... most of which he amassed when he was with his ex.... i honestly wanna just sit in a corner and cry...

Sorry girls i feel a fraud for posting when i said i wouldnt post anymore .... but i was really desperate just for someone to tell and get it all out too..

Dustykitten

Doing well Holly I'm impressed
