    Good evening everyone. Been awol for a while, basically because I have had a serious case of the CBA's. Have now realised that it was all down to my depression, so now I am putting a smile on my face and turning the negative's into positives. Really dont want to take AD's as we are trying for another baby.

    As a result, the house has gone to wreck and ruin..... washing basket is overflowing, what little washing has been done cluttering up my bedroom floor, dishes piling up till the absolutely have to be done so that we have someing to cook with and eat off. DP hasnt helped, since he finished work on Thursday he has done vitually nothing.... but what can I expect, he's only a man!!

    Anyhoo, having starting to drag my self back up from below rock bottom, I have just cleared all the clean washing and put it all away, sorting through drawers and cupboards as I went. Sorted the washing out into piles so I just need to pick it up and bung it in. DP has done the dishes, that were piling up again and the kids have cleared all the toys from the living room floor into the toybox.

    Tonight I plan on drawing up a rota, so that we all have jobs to do on a daily basis. Then I know what's being done and I can concentrate on decluttering, and making some time for myself to help myself get better.

    Right, sorry for rambling on.... just need to get all the off my chest(and I stayed on topic too hehe).
    Thanx for reading, normal SummerMoon servic will be resumed shortly.

    Just brought all the washing in from the line, not quite dry so TD on now.

    Lil_me OH is in his 40's too although (uses brain to calculate) he's 48 this year, still young I feel for this.
    I'm trying to keep busy and not think about it too much as it scares me.<shudder> Kinda glad now that I found out this morning that I'm not pregnant.

    Rosepink men are strange by nature. I changed from scottish power to npower and then back again. Didn't like NP one bit they kept messing up my bills. I didn't know SP were selling in England, happy days!!!!!!!!

    Right off to tackle some more washing and stick the dinner on or I'll have 3 greetin' weans on my hands.

    just got in from my new place

    went to drop DD1 off at school and the kid standing next to her had nits i saw one crawl into laurens hair so she was marched off to the ofice, i had a good moan and took her home... this is the fourth time in three weeks it takes the p (that word i cant say)

    got to the office at 10.30 via the new house and got the keys my god it took about an hr to sign all the forms

    then finally i went into the house oh my god what a tip the walls all needed pollyfiller its going to take 2 coats of gloss on the paintwork and i am going to have to put lining paper up on all the walls before painting

    the hall and bathroom are going to be skimmed by the council (thought that was a major pee take as there the best bleedin walls in the place) so i have to wait un till they come and do it before i can get painting on them.

    the carpets will go in on tuesday... oh god that will be the next thing they will skim the walls after my nice new (expensive i must add) carpets go in and wreck them.. i will be up for manslaughter if they do

    then a week on friday the stuff in storage goes in and at some point during this time i need to get the stuff from here over there (minus the pc because the broadband isnt there yet)

    what a nightmare whats on the list today ill do it when the kids are in bed after my bath i feel minging i have paint/pollyfiller/you name it all over me...

    yea right ill be asleep in half an hr ill post if i get it done lol


    who needed hugs i cant remmember i read the thread but my brains broken i cant remmember anything

    hugs to those who need/want them

    Off to take the dog for a stroll round the fields and get away from DS1 and DS2 feel sooo let down by them both today. Just need to get out, as my anger has been replaced by sadness :o

    Aaaah who was it that had the fool proof way of cooking rice? I can't remember and it has taken me ages to trawl through some of the previous postings on here..aaah!!!

    I managed to locate a strange smell in the fridge while I was doing the flying in there today..it was old bacon..eww!! I don't know how long I had missed it because it had been hidding in the top drawer in the door..oops.

    Oh I also had to throw away the kitchen broom as well, went to get it from the corner and one of the cats had icked up on it as well as my Tesco Cath Kitson bag..so broom head went in bin and bag went in the sink for washing. Now on line drying :)
