    pigpen OMG £1200 I would have passed out in shock! hope the DLA comes through quickly -that would help in the meantime! You have been very busy this week and well done getting DD2's room started - that will be a help - she should be able to keep that fairly tidy herself?

    jennybee I love your birthday list - its an excellent idea - have you got nice plans for tomorrow?

    kazm does he not realise how much trouble he would be in if caught leaving her alone!!!! No wonder you are cross - I would be livid too. Make sure they all help you on friday - no excuses they could have been doing some of it all week. (((hugs)))

    good point thriftykaty at least she felt she could speak to you and sort it out rosepink - sleep well - tomorrow you will feel better.

    LadyL - and a hug for you too - sorry to hear you are not feeling great - hope you havent got a bug or have you been overdoing it! (((hugs)))

    Hey broke 22 thats brilliant - they are all big jobs and take time - well done! next week will be even easier. So now you forget asbout todays list and do thursday's list - no carrying forward from the previous day until you have been here for at least a couple of weeks!! that way you have a fresh start everyday and dont get disappointed.

    Peace will be mine

    broke22 you've done really well. Take heart, babysteps is the way to go. Bit at a time. It gets faster each week. And most importantly.... it's only housework! :D Those are really horrible jobs too! WTG :)

    DH has just asked me to declutter the last of a bottle of wine. Be rude not to eh?! :rotfl:
