That is so kind of you Linda, she has already made faces about me being on line and doing the housework stuff, I'd best not go out. Its so awful how little trust there is in our family. all very frustrating.

but I am throwing stuff away and that is helping!

Clearing out is very cathartic!

I don't know why I always get the urge to clean out at 2 in the morning?
it happens very frequently.
My hubby once woke up at 3am to find me painting the bedroom ceiling because it was bothering me!

you must live in the only part of the country with no rain pooks!

We have our own little micro climate round here, very hot and dry in summer and one of the only parts of the southeast that regularly gets snow...it's strange. We had about 40 seconds of rain, it didn't even cover the patio....I dread to think what my water bill will be with all this plant watering.

Buffy - Hope you're ok - I think you're very brave still living at home - I moved out at 17 and really couldn't face having to cope with it now. I love my parents dearly but only in short bursts.

Had early tea of yummy scrummy fishcakes, dishwasher is loaded and I'm done....I shall summon children to bring me drinks and nibbles later (there's one advantage to having kids!)

Its not brave, it is a choice and as you all know (!) I don't always enjoy but the good outweighs the downright bloody annoying and slowly slowly slowly things are improving.

I am for example getting used to the whole if I am in a positive going to get things done mood she is nearly always unhappy - she really doesn't like change and gets worried cos I might change stuff. But today I just toughed it out and thought sod it she will be sad sometimes and there is nothing I can do about it. I have wasted a lot of time this holiday cos of trying not to upset her but all relationships are a work in progress right?


thank you though, it helped this afternoon to be able to post here.
