    My house is a mess and I am fed up of it - someone from one of my committee's popped over without warning in the week, I could have cried at the state of my house - it is truly C.H.A.O.S!!
    2015

    My house is still C.H.A.O.S and its over 3 years later - this is the year I get a grip and take more stuff to STBEXH's.

    A few months ago he asked me to keep some of his stuff here as he does not want to clutter up his clutter-free new home:mad::eek:

    Go EE - you have got this. No point in dwelling on the past, just learning from it and moving on, and we are both moving on next year. We will get there :D
    Looking forward to your new diary and both of us making a dent in our debts.

    Yes, it's time to move STBOH's stuff to his house.
    Get a deadline on it & tell him if it is not done by then you will get rid off it.

    I agree! Give him back his clutter :mad:.

    Hi EE, seen you post on other diaries I have read so headed over. Started reading your diary and got to about page 30 before I had to skip forward to find out if you had ditched the husband as I couldn't bear to read on if you were still suffering the lack of support and downright sabotage. So glad to read that you have, you really do deserve better!

    It sounds like a really tough time but I do hope it gets easier for you.

    He's once again trying to control you and how you live. Please don't let him... he either wants/needs it or he can take it to the tip. :mad:
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy
