    AND my contract has been extended (just realised I forgot to say yesterday) so we can now get on with all the stuff we were putting off till we knew what was happening next year. Ikea for a glass cabinet next weekend for starters!!!

    Have just got stacks of boxes everywhere - still :( Lots of Rhys' things which can't be put in their proper place until his room is done. Inbetween playing with/feeding/changing Rhys today I've been sorting out the boxes; have put lots of stuff in the bathroom to go in the loft (hatch is in the bathroom ceiling) and propped the ladders up near there so OH has no excuse whenever he gets back in; have got rid of some bits of FreeCycle (carpets just been collected); and have moved the four boxes of Christmas presents into the living room for wrapping soon.

    Ought to spend an hour a night doing sorting of boxes really but I never seem to find the motivation then spend all my time wittering and getting annoyed about it all! :p

    Rhys is zonked out in the darn baby swing again so it's looking like it's staying. Room reorganisation tomorrow evening and tree up on Tuesday, hopefully.

    Oh, OH just got back..

    Wow so many of you have had productive days today:)

    I have had a very teary day, still haven't managed to finish the wardrobes, I think I am just going to take a hammer to it tomorrow and smash the darn thing off the wall. I am also not going to bother feeding my son anymore, he is fine at lunch time, eats loads. Dinner time is a different story altogether every time he eats maybe 3spoons of food at the most before bawling his eyes out....today it was one and he was hysterical...cue lots of crying from me...I just can't do it anymore he won't eat so what is the point of trying. ds2 was a nightmare too and every meal time was a battle, I don't want to go through it all again, why oh why, am I putting myself through it all a fourth time!!!!

    Dh has snapped at me a few times today and barely helped me with the wardrobes I was even lifting the big floor to ceiling heavy mirrored doors (x4) on my own, and had to clear the room first which meant carrying out a desk and a chest of drawers on my own!!

    I am fed up...

    I am also a bit upset about some comments on here the other day, but I am hormonal and tired so probably just took things the wrong way and i'm sure nothing was meant by it. But I think maybe if people on a forum who I don't kow can upset me (unintentionally) maybe I need to take a teeny step back and become slightly more uninvolved....

    Sorry for the rant
