    We are here for you, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

    Have you posted up on the DFW board, they have loads of useful advise on there, and may be able to offer you ideas you haven't thought of.

    As I understand it this board is open to all, even if you say you will never post again, so if you want to post then do so, we are here to listen, and I doubt very much that anyone would consider you a fraud

    Take care

    Johanne

    Hugs to you hun! You said this has been hanging over your head for the last 12 months, now maybe the pressure will be released over the next few days (here's hoping anyway). As for all the bags of stuff take it a bag at a time and as pigpen says declutter - either ebay, freecycle or charity shop it. I am sure OH will want to keep some of it so would getting a wardrobe off freecycle to store it in be an option?

    You are so young hun and OH maybe on a low wage now but who knows what will happen in the future. Sarah will only be little for so long so focus on enjoying this special time and as she gets older you may want to start work again, or take advantage of any "free" training you can get.

    You may feel like your in a hole love but look up and there is light! It may only be a glint but hold on to it.

    My ironing is finished!!!!

    I've still got washing to do but if I try to iron as soon as I've dried it hopefully I may manage to keep on top of it. I've just got to put it all away now.

    Shell I was ironing with you as I never stopped.

    Right going to make some dinner now for the tribe.

    Right, I've just copied and pasted the entire week's list into a word document, as I will have to play catch-up cos we have friends coming over on Sunday, and I'm also out for the day in Crawley tomorrow (meeting up with friends from my PGCE) so won't be able to do any flying then.

    Have just had my shower and washed my hair, so just need to get dressed, and then I can get some lunch ready. Also need to go to the supermarket today as I need a couple of ingredients for dinner tonight. (beanfeast chilli with sour cream and rice). Was thinking of making flapjacks today as there is nothing sweet in the house at the moment, and if I'm lucky there will be some left for Sunday when our friends come over.

    Must put all of the carboot clothes that weren't sold away, as they are hanging on doorframes as they were wet from the rain and needed to dry off when we got home.

    Will be back again after lunch for a HHC methinks. Is anyone interested in joining me for one 1-1.30pm? I have lots to do, so it will help me to get on with it.
