    sorry... back again... [why am i apologising to my own diary] any ho!

    soo the stress and strain of it all is starting to show... i m reaching bursting point, hate living like this, hate being like this, want to be someone else.. i look at others [yes yes i know i shouldnt...but...] and they look like they have it all together... when inside my 4 walls its all fallling apart - i need a bigger roll of cellotape.

    sooo i spent the weekend stomping about... stomping from rooom to room cleaning, banging, crashing and generally grumping about. muttering under my breath about everyonoe else.

    i ask OH please get laptop ready for me for work this week. but no he just look blankly like i had asked him to strip and run up and down the street. so then we have to play "hunt the laptop charger" which is clearly my fault that its not where it shold be cos of all my ebay [items] which i would like to add are perfectly sorted and orderd. at this point we have massive argument about how i am doing everything and that i have no idea where the charger is nor do i care and that i will tell work people that i have no laptop blah blah blah. then we find [sorry make that I find the charger] at this point i cry. i say to OH i stressed, worried and scared and i m at breaking point. someone must help me with all the things i have to carry.

    then we have dinner, and now he sorting out laptop, i have put 1 child to bed and 2nd is on their way to bed.

    ...........ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz yes i know im boring... :-)

  • Well Mrs, it sounds like your hubby should be kissing your feet and fetching you a cuppa right about now. I suggest you compose yourself and then march up to him and demand that he does so, immediately! After he's sorted the laptop of course.....

    On another note, given the last six months, the same as Nov 08 is a mahoosive achievement. Imagine the alternative had you not been such a courageous and feisty bird! Woohoo I say, woohoo!

  • WOw on the spreadsheet thing (never got the hang of them myself!)

    and as to the debts and the crappy feelings. Wellsometimes that is the way of the debt buster, Its !!!! and annoying and if I was better with words this would sound alot more supportive!!

    Remember, this too will pass. Until you feel better/different, you just Hang On.
