1 teen upstairs sorting out their bedroom. 2 x other offspring decluttered to the shops to buy carrots!!:D:D:D

Roast leg of lamb in the oven. I might just get a bit of P & Q for half an hour!!;)

Back from my first HHC for a bit

I've not been around for a few months, I did some serious life decluttering and then have had the aftermath to tidy. I found out (after much suspicion) that DH was having an affair. He was funding two families, the other much more richly than his own. So I binned him. He has been a total spineless coward since, hasn't seen the kids, been prepared to deal with anything other than playing happy families with them. I have had the fallout of it all to deal with, including two very angry teenagers.

So, now I'm back and getting it sorted out again. I need the support of you lot to sort this part of my life out.

Ouch Tilli-Tot - that's rough on you. You sound as though you are ready to move forward now - so hope that things will get start to look up for you.

lil_me

nopot hope your friend's Dad/FIL is ok
Tilli-Tot ((hugs)) for you and the cross teens, so much to deal with, pleased you have come back to join us
Mumof2 how do you get the coffee? My DP doesn't do that. He's bought a Mac which makes it easier in a way as it's in the bedroom so at least I don't have to watch him watch me doing stuff apart from when he is on playstation etc
jinky go when you planned & when it's cheaper ((hugs)) must be so hard not having them with you, I didn't realise they had not gone with you
Diva take it easy
toots -16 blinking heck, that is staying in temperature.
g&b thank you for the reminder....just got something out for tea, nearly forgot!

Had a quick shuffle round the LR, got DSs to remove the toys they had brought down

DS1s being extremely difficult @ the mo, he wants to do his thing all the time regardless of what anyone else wants (part of his ASD I know this), but James and the Giant Peach, 3 sealife documentaries and Dr Who (same episodes) every day for 2 weeks, it's starting to drive me bonkers. He doesn't even fully watch it, just wandes round bouncing, flashing a torch & blowing a party blower (he HATES anyone else using them) but insists it being on the main TV so now I have said NO...he's having a hissy fit. Tough...he'll get over it and I will apologise to neighbours later. I have offered him to use the PC upstairs so we can remove these obsessions gradually but no, he's off on one.

Right then, as I have done the 2 lists so far it's catch up on the rest time for me today.....laundry first I think as DP is moaning about it. Washer & TD been on full tilt since 6am so I have ....8 or so...loads to sort/fold/put away. Ok list for me for today

Another 4 washer loads ish
Take upstairs what is clean/dry
Fold & sort the laundry
Put mine & the boys away....they will help a bit
Sort socks/undies
Sort 2 boxes from my room
Find somewhere to store wrapping paper left over
Make dinner - must check if I have spuds left
Sort left over items box from tombola stuff/toiletries etc

Finish sorting the bills - so far I think I can have a start to the year where just items on interest free need paying for...paying no interest or charges in 2010 to anyone for anything inc insurances, purchases, bank accounts etc that would be good

Afternoon Ladies

Didnt have too good a sleep last night – kept waking up. Not much flying done and got angry with DS for saving up all his clothes from the floordrobe - has more than doubled the amount of washing I had :mad::mad: Need to go and attack my ironing basket now but I suppose once I take out KH’s it should reduce the pile by a fair bit Am not ironing his

Sorted through some paperwork and have paid all online bills

Not had brek yet so think will make a sandwich to nibble on while ironing

Soappie - That Kerry Foods article is ridiculous ... What a waste
Nicki - Thanks for the Remoska link. Certainly seems to be worth looking into as I often have the oven on for small things
Toots - Why annoyed. If you had a nap it is because you needed it
Macpep - All my Xmas dishes have been put away for next year as we don’t do the big New Year thing. Glasses I tend to use year round as I don’t like keeping these for ‘best’. Think it is a case of what you prefer and what you feel is best for you
Mummyof5 – Know exactly the workings of teenagers but how do you cope with 4 – 2 is bad enough :rolleyes:
Valli – Your words are very true and am sure I will feel better about it in a while. There are so many things to be sorted out at the moment, not sure I know where to start. Hope things are looking better with your probs. Thanks also to everybody else that has sent their hugs and good wishes
Tilli-Tot - Hugs for your situation. Hope things are much better for you now
Mumof2 - Same here. Spent all his time, when he was actually here, on the computer
LadyL – Special hugs for you and glad you have peace with OH back in work
Jinky - Must be an awful situation for you to be in. Really hope you work something out with DD coming down
Diva - Hope your back is better soon

Sending out hugs to everybody I haven’t mentioned ((((hugs))))
