    Valli awh honeyyyyyy!!!! I am sad that you are sad and blue and had nobody to talk to - you should pick up the phone and talk to some of your friends - and dont be thinking "I might be bothering them" (thats what I think so I knows you know) just do it because they love to speak to you. (((hugs)))
    lil_me continued get well wishes for your Dad and hope you get a true picture tomorrow and its a good one. (((hugs))) for little M and his Mum - she has a lovely friend in you who will keep her right and help them get the right help if they need it- hope his head is not too sore. Of course you can off load - good grief you should know that you have been here a looooooooooooooooooooooooooong time so dont be a silly moo - we are here to listen and give our tuppence worth whenever. Its good that you and DP are going to be able to talk through the financial stuff and I do hope you can work things out a bit. As for the house - well yes I know where you are coming from -it gets to a stage when 'enough is enough' - I have been there too - try to clear space in your diary and get stuck in and keep at it - it will be well worth it in the end (((hugs))) for you - enjoy your early night xx
    Mrs Chaos - sounds like a good compromise with the TD - and I like your thinking re the early starts while you can - I hope you manage to catch up on the storeroom etc xx

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine

    talk.

    Ok housework, sorry I keep offloading but there is a little 'weight' on these shoulders at present and I am hoping I am right that you don't mind as not many will even read this far :o

    I did. Please don't stop posting about your worries on here - you're entitled! Hope your week goes well.

    Jink - nice one re D's DD's uniform - DS's PE shirt is still in a crumpled heapon his bedroom floor. A pair of trousers is missing - they will be in his school bag (ROLLSEYES) last call for laundry id saturday morning when I get up not when HE does...he will learn...or he will wear dirty clothes. One things for certain I am not picking up after him, nor am I putting one/two items in the machine on a Sunday to suit HIM.
    My stomach hurts I am off to beddy byes and dreamiong of a snow day which I won't get but hey ho...
