I am feeling guilty.

My mother has been having noise problems and I have been having sleep problems and it hasn't been noisy for me.

Understandably, she has been bought down by it but have been finding it hard to cope with it. I feel guilty I haven't been sleeping well either and feel bad that I haven't been able to cope with her low moods.

We have been going thro hell with our house. First they wanted to put us on a rolling contract and we decided to look for somewhere else to live with no joy (too grotty or too pricey/big), now they want to put us onto a year.

I have thought about trying to get a temporary job. I have done some odd bits of work but I find it hard to cope with rejection and frustration.

shazrobo, I know our Tiff mentioned Victim Support, but I just wanted to say how grand they were when several colleagues and I had to give evidence in court. They met us about a week beforehand, showed us round the court and into an empty court, then we slipped into an ongoing case so we could see what happened. They met us on the day too and stayed with us until we were done. Very helpful people.

I feel rubbish tonight. Just been posting on another board about the school situation with DD1 as we're hopefully moving house soon, and OH thinks I'm ridiculous as in his head it's pretty straightforward but for some reason I can't seem to get my head around what to do and I really can't tell if it's just me being dense or if it is complicated

The whole prospect of moving I think has had a massive effect on my state of mind. I hate the thought of moving, it's not even that far really and I've always liked moving and settling into somewhere I can make my own, so I think there's a lot going on in my head. It's certainly brought up a lot of dormant feelings around the relationship with DDs' dad (who I initially moved into this house with, when DD2 was 3 months old, he moved out when she was 8 months old and she's nearly 3 now.)

I think I've since made this my safe haven, part of the sense of constancy for me and DDs since that happened and I feel honestly quite apprehensive, and, well scared about moving. I WANT to, logically it makes so much sense, we need the space, the schools are good, a new start for me and OH, but inside my head I'm petrified. It doesn't just mean moving but losing my GP, my health visitor, family visitor and those specifically local links for support I have made, and having to make them all again when we move. It means losing the familiar faces, the neighbours across the road who are lovely, who's son DD1 goes to school with and who have helped us out when we've been in a tight spot a number of times. The mums at the school gates who invite DD1 round for tea after school. The children's centre a walk away where I take DD2 twice a week and has been my saviour since I found it, and although I have explained this all to OH, he says he understands but I don't think he's totally listening or has taken it on board just how much this is affecting me. He thinks on some level it means I don't want to move which isn't what I mean at all.

I feel a bit teary now which is going to make for a great conversation when he comes downstairs in a minute!

Good news anyways is baby slept 11pm ish (I vaguely remember in a haze of screaming, crying (not me LOL) and feeling incredibly tired when baby was resisting sleep last night) until 6amish - I didn't know what had hit me this morning when I woke up completely confused and wondering why it was light for baby's middle-of-the-night feed!

Anyway night all and see you in the morning x

hi jo-r i can understand your feelings towards moving house completely, i would be the same if i was in the same situation. it will be hard losing the links you have made, but i suggest you make new ones asap, contact the new gp etc, and register with them, then as soon as you've moved, which is incredibly stressful in itself, you'll have support set up.
hope it goes well, how far are you moving to?
hugs

Yep - don't they say moving is one of the most stressful life events?

We're not moving too far, it's the other side of the city centre, maybe 4/5 miles, but enough to be a new neighbourhood, new schools and all that kinda stuff. Also we're in the process of sorting out the house, not only packing stuff up but having to paint walls and generally erase any signs of two LOs getting hold of pens and scribbling on walls (how do they manage to find the only pen I've missed?) and juice spilt on carpets etc. Nothing that can't be sorted but takes a bit of time to do.

Hope everyone is well xxx

Hey all.

I'm back from hols but now have the back from hols blues. Haven't caught up on posts yet as I am feeling like a grumpy child at the moment.

We came back to a filthy house on our return as our flat mate hadn't cleaned and it stunk as she had filled the bin and not emptied it. So it looks like my remaining days off will be spent cleaning!

At the moment I just feel like why the h*ll is it my responsibility when 3 adults live here????

Our blooming harddrive has broken which we only got a few weeks ago before we had chance to transfer all our photos back onto the newly repaired computer!

Also I thought we would get engaged on holiday and it didn't happen. Again.

I feel like having a jolly good sulk. Including sticking out my bottom lip.

Grr.
