    jinky

    before this progresses i think you need to speak honestly and openly to your mum

    she obviously resents you or what you have done....and seems to be trying to get back at you

    you will obviously be feeling pretty tender yourself at the moment

    the relationship with mum couldnt have been soo bad before or she wouldnt have the kids now would she

    try and sort is for yours your mums and the kids sakes even if its not you thats creating this....its causing bad atmosphere

    hugs honey!

    TrikerI'm sorry you are getting a dose of TM today. How was your relationship with her before Daz? Is it just backlash or has it always been difficult? Hugs sweetie.

    Good news - I've got my gardening mojo back - bad news the weeds have taken over whilst it was away and my body is struggling to catchup with my mind.
    Yeah baby! But then you will want the book which is bound to be next, or maybe not?!

    You are so right - I love all the ideas but not her, if Nigella was doing it, it would be so much better!

    WHSmith/staples do you have a county supplies (they supply to schools but you can often use them I think). Could you buy a roll of lining wall paper instead?
