Cleared out Computer games box and tidied away old console
Brought in spare clothes rail from garage and built in spare room
Took ironing upstairs and hung on clothes rail



Did more ironing, but was then distracted by my Next Delivery of new living room curtains, so I ironed and hung those instead! So i still have a bit more to do.

Am almost finished in the kitchen and clearing away all the stuff that I cleared out of other cupboards and am nearly finished chucking/rehoming things. Should hopefully finish this tomorrow. Then it will only be the dishes cupboard and the cupboard under the sink to go!! The spare room was looking fab, until I cleared a load more stuff out of my wardrobe :rolleyes: I have a much bigger pile of stuff than I thought I would to clear out/go on Ebay.

However, I keep going passed the pile and am tempted to take things out of the pile again, but am being firm and it is going!! Even some of my shoes :eek: I will decide whats going on EBAY and then the rest can go to the womens refuge or freecycle.

I dont know what the list is for tomorrow, but I need to focus on the spare room and the living room!!!!!! Or my little one wont recognise the place, but it will be because it looks like a bomb went off! :rotfl:

Am tired and done in for today so am off to watch some mindless rubbish in bed!

TOOTS - glad you found a solution to your problem. Hugs to you!

ROSEPINK - I know how you feel. Please go back to your doctor. Im here if you need to talk xx

Well my HHC ended up being an hour and not a very successful one at that! I spent half of it on the phone to my dad because I've got no hot water and the other half waiting for kettles to boil so I could wash the dishes!

So I managed to

Clear drainer
Put shopping away
Wash dishes
Clean picnic table

and that was it!

Been to Crystal Peaks again having discovered what there is there and have bought a new linen blouse/shirt for me from T K Maxx:D
so am (a)poggered (like Flower so often is) and (b) skint (also like Flower LOL)
Flower that software looks rather daunting...but I have looked and then run back to my familiar old excel...

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Well, it just explains perfectly exactly how you feel IYKWIM...
No problem Valli, It's whatever works for you, just wanted to offer and show you what it was - there are loads of others out there too, but I love it - I also love Excel for nearly everything else in my life - including my snowball plan that I have set up WITH conditional formatting too... ;):D I just put what has come off/gone on for each bit and it totals up per heading then everything else at the end, I think I spend more time 'messing' with stuff sometimes than I do actually paying it... :rotfl:

TOOTS - glad you are back safe and sound this time, and also that you have sorted out what helps you and that you can continue with it... Massive hugs and love sent out to you... :A

huge (((hugs))) denizeNZ not an easy time for you - I know flower has had trouble with her DS so maybe she will be able to help with some useful suggestions and some of the others too. don't wear yourself out.

I wish I did have some answers for you Denise, but all I can say is I know how you feel, your not alone and that there are others out there going through the same (boys apparently are like this...:rolleyes: ) and that they do APPARENTLY grow out of it into wonderful people (again, apparently AFTER their parents have either a)shot them or b)shot themselves...:D) Like yours, mine is a great guy just a pita when it comes to doing anything or planning a life for himself...

Glad it went ok today Toots, thoughts are with you still for the rest of the treatment, I too have had connection problems so only just catchig up now....
Rosepink, hope you are ok tonight
Pigpen, sleepy vibes coming your way

JillD_2

mozzy - yes same here, hubby earns good money and we have a lovely house but never any spare for anything extra. In fact the house is half the problem really , we have a crippling mortgage. Hubby has his own business which is doing well but they are trying to keep the cash in the business for cashflow.
I wrote a meal plan tonight and we need hardly anything for the next week. Only a week to payday now. You are so rigt, if I hadn't done a meal plan I'd have bought far too much.
Hope your DD chicken pox isnt too itchy for her

Jo - thanks for the reply, it helps knowing we are not alone in a funny way. Some months I enjoy the challenge but then for no reason it just really gets to me. Feeling a bit better anbout it today though

rosepink - was hoping we would be ok til payday, we have cancelled out night away on Friday and are just going for the day, but we will still need petrol there and back and food whilst there. Oh well credit card I suppoe, I think we can afford it next month just not this month. I am also babysitting for a friend tomorrow night and will need petrol for that , the car is on fumes at the moment and I was hoping we could avoid filling it up but not likely!
And how nice on the free ring
On the depression thing I have suffered on and off with it over the years. Had it quite bad after number 3 was born 18 months ago, was on meds for overa year. I came off them at Christmas time and sometimes I am think I am fine but other days are just awful, I had a terrible day on holidays last week, I cried and cried, told hubby everything about how I have no self esteem etc, really poured it out to him. I then referred to it yesterday and he said "Oh when was that I didn't notice" :mad:
I really sympathise but have no advice really , just know that you are not alone. I understand about the begging to die too. Its not that you want to be dead especially or that you would do anything about it , is it, its just that you wish you could just go to sleep and it would not feel this bad any more. Offload on here as much as you want, I have done so many times over the last year and everyone has been so lovely. I have lots of friends but dont feel like they understand either, and its as if they will isten but only to a point. My husband is at his limit and my family are not very good at sympathy, they would just tell me to pull myself together. Please dont feel like we dont care or dont want to listen, cos we do and we will. Feel free to PM me any time
((((hugs))))
