    I am indeed Bookie. All shopped, wrapped and have a house full of food and booze (just for the 4 of us :D).

    How about you hun? You got much left to do?

    Just a few parcels to wrap and the cooking of course.
    Odd to have all this time.

    Sally, just stick "The Snowman" on for B and have a rest.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

  • I'm listening to Jeremy Vine - he's just got a mother talking to her son in the forces in Afghanistan and I've got tears running down my cheeks.

    Sal, you have had a very hard time and you have carried everything yourself. I think as it comes to the end of the year some part of you is going ok STOP NOW and let go. Some where I think cos you know OH is going to be at home you want to have some one else to take over (I know he is there all the time, but now you have time off together you are both there iyswim)

    I seriously think you should write down all the things you are worried about and work out solutions how ever painful to each one, so as your mind whurs again you can say ok I have a solution to that. I may not like it (the solutions) but they are there.

    Honestly love stop having a go at yourself please, worrying about money is frightening and your OH doesn't seem to be getting himself up in the air about getting job and all kinds of other family stuff. What you are feeling is understandable.

    Love Buffy xx
    Nevertheless she persisted.
