    G&B - it will take time but glad you are feeling a bit better - did the marathon decorating get done?

    I decorated LO's room and the hall which were the 2 rooms that needed totally redone. Still waiting on hubby finishing the bathroom so i can do the gloss in there. Other than that its just bits and pieces so i'm getting there. Slowly but surely!

    Tiddles had a great day by the sounds of it.. bossed everyone around etc.. lol.. they are all tired but happy and merrily chatting and playing nicely.. didn't I just say they needed to be back at school?

    I decluttered 4 carriers of clothes to nursery :D .. FLING! I have a bag of boxes/tubes to go tomorrow for craft. Plus 3 binbags to go to charity shop.. FLING FLING FLING

    DD1 is sorted for school.. DD2 still needs a bag but none were to her ladyships standards and we ran out of time so she will have to use a netto carrier.. I don't have any but that is what I ended up threatening her with! She got a necklace she fancied the look of, I got a new dress and DD2 got a new top.. we spent a small fortune. DD3 has new socks, DD1 is having the socks I got for DS2 but are too small so I bought him man socks.

    My housing benefit has apparently been sorted and is being backdated to April they said.. which will be about £2500 .. :D.. that will pay off a sizeable chunk f the mortgage and they carry payments over so if I pay it all off now I won't have to pay any more on the mortgage until February!! .. PLUS what they'll be paying me on a monthly basis anyway ... though that is likely t be substantially less once the student bursary comes through.. though I am not sure what that is yet.. or when or where to or how much or anything else... which is why I am REALLY annoyed as I can't plananything because I've not been given any information at all!

    I am so very glad I threw corned dog hash in the SC this morning as I am way to tired to be cooking now.

    It looks like one of the WM's has sprung a leak and DS1 has taken DD's 1 and 2 to his!

    I have a few more bits for christmas too.. including paper!

    As for the list.. I've done nowt!!

    greenbee.. I'd not have any kind of coil.. they are one of the biggest causes of female infertility.. beaten only by infections inc STD's.. all of them.. combined!

    Aww Rose that's quite a quandry, wish I could give helpful advice but I never have any lol I always have hugs though (((((Rose))))) xx
    Thanks sweetie
    rosepink we are not councellors and this is not the place - we can support you but you seriously need to get things started that will help you like yourself and feel more confident.
    Sorry for moaning, you are right this isn't the place. Sorry. I got over tired because I was out every day last week, and when I'm tired it always impacts on my emotions. I'm trying to be more balanced this week.
    Rose sorry you are feeling down I really think some sort of talking therapy could help you. Well done on loosing 2lb that is great news.
    Thanks, I'm really enjoying losing weight and getting fitter. I'm going on an anxiety management course soon - just waiting for the appointment to come through - and then after that maybe I will be able to go on some CBT, I would really like to do that.

    Thanks everyone for the good advice as always - Poohbear it's interesting to hear you're DH has a similar prob, I will PM you if that's ok?

    Going out tonight, tomorrow, Thursday to help Mum as she had a nasty fall yesterday, and have a busy weekend, so won't be about much over th next few days. Will try to post as and when I can.

    Just had a great reaction from OH when he came through the door. He could tell I had hoovered by the carpet but asked what I had been doing because the living room looked so bright and clean. He is finally noticing :j:j:j
    He has just said again that we will do the oven together, twice can't be a slip of the tongue...can it? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
