    so I figured you'd be better off without me whinging.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Please dont ever feel like that - we love you and care for you no matter how grotty you are feeling - even if its just a line to say you are having a bad day - we can put up with anything if you can put up with us!!!!

    I am trying to compile a book/file on all the household details, DH by his own admission doesn't have a clue where anything is, so I need to list all important details eg: birth certs, passports, utility bills etc so he can find anything if/when he has to. Any ideas for a simple system appreciated!

    On a more sombre note (just trying to be organised) I am sorting out my will, funeral arrangements etc.....very difficult when you have children...but they are old enough to know what is going on.....I hope to be around a lot longer yet ;) but the way my illness is progressing I need to know I have done what I can.
    Thats an important woman's job to know where everything is:rolleyes: so i think you are doing great in getting it re-organised and getting Dh trained to be able to find things - does he need a sat-nav?? Its something we all need to do for our households so 'no' its not morbid at all just very sensible - our partners and children should be able to find the important papers whether its for a a death, insurance claim or holiday - some of the other ideas are great too - pity I dont have anyone to do it for:rolleyes:

    I will be in touch by email soon and get all your news or you can email me first if you like - I still have 289 to get through!!!
    love and hugs and take it easy - the treatment really zaps your strength.
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    OK I'm in after my weekend away. Thanks for your nice comment last week, RosePink! We had a great time but spent far too much money, all told!
    You're welcome altho i can't remember what i said now! LOL!

    I didn't wash up earlier, altho I did declutter the kitchen floor which was a bit of a mission! It looks good out there now from the ankle down, altho the floor needs hoovering!

    Going to have some dinner as I'm hungry and groggy and then wash up and do some kitcheny things

    Welcome Herewegoagain

    Hugs Helen, make sure the debt management company don’t charge you, as there is lots of free help you can get to sort out your finances. The first thing I would do is go down the CAB to see what they can suggest, also have a look at government agencies that are there to help those on a low income sort out debt. Have a look at this, it's a free adviceline

    Pigpen hope all was well at the hospital

    Mudbath I read another thread about maggots in the wheelie bin and they said to put salt in there - not sure what it does about at least if it doesn't work the maggots will taste nice! LOL!

    Some idiot has parked a car (which I don't recognise) in the middle of 2 of the 3 spaces outside the front of the flats. Numpty! The spaces aren't marked out but it's fairly easy to see that there are 3 spaces!

    Good afternoon ladies :hello:

    Sorry i have not yet caught up with the thread, will catch up tonight or tomorrow.

    Today i have not stopped, i have done all of the above, the living room and the bathroom. I am going to dish out tea in 5, clear the dishes and then start on my bedroom.

    We had a very busy weekend and the house was a bit of a sty, now its all clean and fresh downstairs:T.

    Take care ladies :wave:
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?
  • well it is confirmed:j:beer::j:beer::j:beer:
    DD is getting decluttered to grandma's house for 2 days!!:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:D:D:D:D:D:D:T:T:T
    if she lasts that long is another story though, she doesn't do being away from us(not even for 2 hours)(no family here to babysit, all 75 miles away)so we never get any peace but this time she is going for 2 nights(usually 1 night as that is all she can cope with), whether she likes it or not!! hopefully she will last and if she gets seriously distressed by it, we will go and pick her up early!
    now if only we had some money to be able to go out - even to the cinema would be great - but we don't, unless i can do a bit of jiggling with the bills account(hopefully we should have a bit of spare cash in there)

    anyway flying wise, we ended up making some banana muffins and they are horrible(DD likes them though) so i have tidied up after that and finished the kitchen off
