Flower I'm sorry to hear you are struggling. I get like that too sometimes. Don't beat yourself up over it.
A friend of mine is a nurse and a couple of years ago ago she was nursing an old lady. One day when she was about to end her shift the old lady asked what she was going to do for the rest of the day. She said she had loads of housework to do. The old lady lady said, "When you are old like me dear, you won't remember the days you spent doing housework. You will remember the days you didn't".Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in.

When my ex went (4 years ago in case anyone's interested I am now FULLY divorced;) OHAC GSOH) he asked if he could take the bedroom TV. I did not hesitate...I was THRILLED to see the back of it...and the stereo...and the blinkin' x box...I mean is it healthy for an adult male (and a father) to go to bed at 7pm to watch the tv/a dvd/ play on a x box when there are children in the house?Flower - I'll have to start on Saturday, but may not be back online properly till Monday. And clear the TV etc out of the bedroom. Bedrooms are for sleeping (mainly!) NOT for watching TV in.
I have NOT replaced it...I have a TV in my lounge...Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson
