Hugs soappie get your self organised for the party and make that a double celebration - their engagement and your new life! In the meantime I would consult Gordon!!

Thanks Toots. I'll go very easy on Gordon tonight - I have to drive tomorrow. But we'll be in deep conversation tomorrow night I suspect. I'm off to NN's to work out the holiday shopping list etc.

hi everyone,

sorry i haven't been on for a while - we've been away and my backs really been playing up - i've been to see a consultant and i'm going to have to have an operation which will lay me up for weeks!

the house has been suffering but not too badly coz unless i tell them what to do it doesn't get done and its hard to see what needs doing when your stuck in the bedroom:eek:

so i'm back to baby steps (re back) and the family can take on the rest.

as usual i haven't read the rest of the thread but hope everyone is well - especially you pigpen.

i'm going to do HHC 6:45 to 6:15 and i'll report back what i've done.

Hi all

Just level one completed for me today.

Done the bathroom, gave it a good ole scrub all over and it's gleaming now, still looks horrid but at least it's a clean horrid lol Sorted out the toothbrush holders etc etc and gave them a good wash too, thrown out half a carrier bag of cack. The floor was a hands & knees jobby tho it's quite disheartening scrubbing floorboards but as before at least they're clean floorboards, I do wish the council would hurry up and re-fit my entire bathroom, it's depressing me now.

Don't think I'm gonna get the star today, the HHI is holding me back, I've got someto do but I've got be in 'in the mood' before I do it, it can stay there for weeks at a time and littley doesn't miss any of it she's got that many clothes, maybe I should just hoy them in a bag and take them to the charity shop, except they want them ironed too :rolleyes::D

ETA: *brainwave* is it ok if I substitute HHI for HHCOOH (half hour cleaning out of hamsters) it will take half an hour probs more and It's a job I've been putting off for 2 weeks because it's so messy, poor wee things stink to high heaven.

in our hhc we

stripped bed x3
hoovered mattress x3
re made bed x3
dusted bedroom x3
hoovered bedroom floor x3
started bathroom
bedding x1 in machine.

the 'our' is emphasised because it took some persuasion to get dd and ds moving but they did it - amazing what can be achieved when 'no msn' is mentioned:rolleyes:

off to see fil it's his birthday at the weekend but its also our godsons the same day and he's having a birthday party that we're going to and don't want fil getting his gifts 2 weeks late unlike his for our dd.

see you tomorrow

Emily you seem to have been through the mill a bit, but unless you have done something hideous like been serially unfaithful, I really want to slap your DHs legs. All this fannying around and "i'm considering leaving you" is just a pathetic kind of emotional blackmail. Sorry if I have been too outspoken, but you are a clever, kind and talented woman, you do not deserve this.

I mean this in a constructive way for you, you are too good to put up with this carp, not to mention the carp from your friend, who clearly needs you but also is taking you for granted horribly.aaarrrgghhhhh.

I hear what you're saying, but I've been with DH for 11 years now & I know it's not "emotional blackmail", he's just upset & thinking things through in his head.
Hope everyone's well. I've just been doping my dailies (still got this stinking cold :mad:)
