    big and busy week ds1 playing golf in a big comp this week

    commuting to a golf club 1 hour a way every day so big pain
    house is worse than i have ever seen it and i am sooo tired

    getting that sinking feeling

    Good luck for DS and you are being a fantastic supportive Mum. My DS is at the golf club most days but I'm so lucky it is just a 10 minute walk at most.
    I know that feeling well. Stop and have a cuppa, take stock. Decided what is the most important and do a HHC - you won't achieve it all so achieve what will make the most difference.

    Soappie - I found the grave and it was a bizarre feeling to stand there amongst all those fields where such terrible sights were seen

    Rose I'm really good thanks, just having a bit of a what's it all about day after such a relaxing time. Need a bit of a rebalance.

    - thanks for thinking I have a 'normal' to get back to :rotfl:

    I'm not getting very far at all today. All I have managed in 6 hours is emptying/reloading dishwasher, and clearing/cleaning worktops. At least after finishing our lunch I made myself clear straight up after myself.

    Serena what terrible news for you and your family, sincerely condolences. xx

    Jinky are you just on a low hun or has something happened? You sound very upset.

    Well I would like to change my bedroom around seeing as I spend most of my time here these days.

    But where to start with a stuffed, cramped, badly decorated, cluttered room!:confused::o

    Does anyone have their bed under a window? It would give us considerably more space to move around in.
    I thought this was considered bad feng shui although the crapola in our room probably is already very bad feng shui.;):o

  • :cry:Well I have done nothing so far today!!!! :o

    I woke up from my early night with a most horrendous migraine!! Whats worse is I KNOW what caused it and wish I could give the reason a swift kick up the backside, but he is at work!!! ;)

    After an absolutely fantastic latter end of the week I chose to have sunday off to go birthday money shopping at Meadowhall with my mum and little one. :j All I did was ask him to do 2 things!!! Not much to ask surely!

    1. Move some fence panels from my parents (which he had asked for) AND
    2. Clean and declutter the kitchen table!! (I had done the rest!)

    Well when we got home Jess asked to go to my parents for a play so I said yes! I then called at their house to find he had not moved the fence panels and when I got home he had barely done a thing to the kitchen besides move a few bits about and reclutter my windowledge!!!!!
    :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I know he works all week but I can't do EVERYTHING myself!!!! I have my good days and bad days (due to illness) and he knows that! (Having a bad day today :cry:)

    Sorry for moaning but needed to get it off my chest and didnt want to use facebook!!
