    Kazmeister Thanks for understanding, I am sympathetic to OH really but sometimes the frustration just builds up too much. His depression can sometimes come across as selfishness, although I (think) I know that is not how it is intended.

    Liz

    Thats exactly how it feels here sometimes. I feel like I am walking on eggshells at times just trying to keep it all together for everyone else and sometimes I have to 'back off' to try and stop myself being dragged down too. Its hard but I love him more than ever and I know that he will come right again. Fingers crossed for you.

    Johanne - well done

    your right Valli it will... its one thing ive missed having somewhere to work properly..... except my PC doesnt work! :rotfl: It has blue-screen-of-death-itis :( BUT nickis Ex-OH has said he'll try fix it for me... so now he can get to it.. i might have my PC usuable for the first time in a year too! :D:D:D

    Just need my Ex-OH to take his CR*P and dump it on some poor other sod (lol) and i can make that room a proper office as i'll be able to get to the walls to plaster them.. lay the carpet.. move my wardrobe into my room instead of it being stuck in there.. and get my new desk and filing cabinet ive been secretly saving for and lusting over in the Ikea catalogue for ages :o

    Evening all,

    Well done Johanne you've done a great job.:j

    I haven't even looked at todays list let alone done any of it :o. It was my last day at college today and we had chinese & cheesecake yummmmm. I came home with a headache though:rolleyes: so didn't do anything when i got home.

    OH did take all the bags for car boot up to the attic for me , Ds1 tidied the living room and i moved a plastic drawer thing from the landing ( which has all Ds2's paper, pens, jigsaws etc in it ) into Ds2's room. After my mass toy sort yesterday he had room for it.

    I have to take the car for a service tomorrow either at 10 or 11 i can't remember . It's about 20 miles away so i'll have to do some window shopping while i wait.;) I can't buy too much as i won't have a car to put it in. I think i'll do a food shop afterwards.

    Ok i'll stop rambling and sort out a list for tomorrow.
