    Lil me 4 kids, myself and DH....currently i sleep with DD......which quite frankly is at times not pleasent....She scratches with her eczema, and I want to have the option of taking DH home in future IYSWIM!!! So 6 bedrooms are needed!! DS1 & 3 are both autistic, and DS1 also has ADHD:(, they like their personal space, DS2 likes a retreat to hide when things at home go belly up and DS1 kicks off (this sounds horrible....but im not very good with words) And as DD has some attachment issues (again sorry) that im not dealing with very well as she doesnt have her own room:( I think im going to have some trouble getting her sleeping on her own again!!) Atm DH is in hospital and DS3 is sleeping in his room, so im in a catch 22 situation until the extension is sorted:)

    OMG!!!! I sound so bad!!!! :rotfl:Its not THAT bad but sometimes it is:o :eek:

    hi everyone

    i'm in again - i was last night but couldn't post for some reason:confused:

    just read the last page

    mumoffour - don't apolgise, you sound like superman(mum) to me. it's a lot to cope with and i'm not sure i could.

    everyone - what were you upto last night i only read the last 2 pages and decided i was too young to read any more:rotfl:

    flying - kitchens done as much as it's going to be (which is actually very, but not enough to get a star:cool: )

    going to do some knitting and then turn in for an early night.

    hugs to those that need them.

    I've done another HHI and now I'm done for the night. Still more to do tomorrow but just another HH should see it done.

    MoF - I think you are amazing. Actually I'd think you was amazing if you just had one 'issue' to deal with (sorry couldn't find the right phrase). I don't know of anybody with as much on their plate as you. A hug for DS2 cause I expect things can be a bit much for him too.

    MOJT how are you this evening hun?

    Right a couple of quick pms to do and then off to bed.

    Soappie good luck tomorrow with your users.

    Have tried to do quite a bit tonight as off out straight from work tomorrow so have
    S&S the kitchen
    Vacuumed kitchen floor - no point in washing it as DH is saying he is going to try & mend the still broken tumble dryer tomorrow & still has all his toolboxes out.
    dusted polished tidied & vacuumed the dining room
    vacuumed & tidied the lounge & dusted & polished the most obvious bits - coffee table, tv & cabinet. looks good if you dont look too closely!
    will check in again on wednesday but working late so will not be able to get much done then either

    Dustykitten and gtx thanks!!
    Dustykitten, I think that when DS2 got beaten up and the word got out about how badly he was beaten, the people in the village were disguisted and "one of the punters" went to the mums bar and gave off stink to her about her DD.....everyone comments on DS2, and how much he does for me and the elderly people.......He goes to the shop for me and holds the door open for everyone, if he sees someons struggling with a bag he will offer to help them out to their car!!! He is really kind:) He does it in the hospital too, he offers sweets and crisps to a certain patient who is a quadraplegic (SP) and feeds him when he says he wants some!! He can also be a wee imp at home:D
