I feel exactly the same. When it works well it is fantastic and rewarding and gives you a real feelgood glow, but when it doesn't....:eek: I generally go back to giving to the charity shops (or the dump) until I can face it again!

I am the freegle moderator sometimes and I too get frustrated about people who say they want something and rhan never come and collect things.:mad:

Back from our meal I was good and went for cheapest on menu. It was brilliant to get out with DH and see lots of friends. Hopefully he will want to go out again soon. Little steps is what he needs.

ceebeeby OH NO!!!!:eek::eek::eek: what a disaster for you - what about a wanted ad on freegle/freecycle - you never know you just might be lucky -not sure what the things are but if you cant get them cheaper than £160 i hope the insurance helps. (((hugs))) and *positive* vibes to successful replacement very cheaply.

ceebeeby I wouldn't tell them it belongs to the B&G (((hugs))) we all make mistakes sometimes, only human. To be honest they should be covering it on their insurance
MOAM hope your DH is ok

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Triple fast clean up needed, place is a tip and DPs Dad/Step Mam having a bathroom replaced so will need to use ours for 2 weeks. If anythings going to kick us into sorting out this will! Gave in and bought DP a new PS3 for his birthday (on Thursday) , his face tripping him up was getting annoying. All plugged in now so back to bang bang shout shout hmmmm....plus note being minus it for a few days we've had chats about time used on PCs/computers and the boys now have a strict time allowance, when they are in/awake so does DP much to his disgust but fair is fair.

On a good note, my new TD is on.....7am it arrived, that time call in half term should be illegal! Just pleased I might be able to get washing dry, we have 3 loads washed and 2 baskets full of dirty stuff waiting to be washed as I just couldn't get it all dry.

My list

Doctors Appointment 10.10 done
Shopping - Budget of £10.00 maximum oops, spent £15.00 not too bad
Package Next returns ready for collection - Ensure I keep only the minimum - :mad: Did this, man turned up with a parcel and wouldnt take them as he had run out of return slips.:mad:
Tea for tonight - Spaghetti Bolognese. Well chuffed with this one, cooked from scratch, and have made extra - enough for MIL lunch tomorrow, and another meal in the freezer.

Thanks for the welcome toots, I received your pm and found some useful information.

This is the most I have done in a day for ages. I know its not much, but I really struggle with getting anything done. Was very frazzled round the edges by the end of the day - unfortunately doc wants me to take tabs for another month before altering, so unlikely to be any change short term. Rats.

We've been to The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust in Slimbridge today. .... What wasn't so good was when i went to get coffee's i left Ds2 with OH in the play area and came back to find Ds2 dripping wet fom his waist down, he'd only gone and splashed in what he thought was a puddle but was actually a little stream, slipped and fallen on his bum.:eek: Thankfully we'd had enough anyway as we had to leave. The only things that weren't wet were his pants and vest. OH had a jacket in the car so he had to wear that. We had to wring his clothes out when we took them off.:cool:

DD2 managed a similar soaking there today by showing off to her friend in the fountain thing - luckily my flying hasn't extended to my car:p, so we were able to kit her out in DD1's outdoor games kit which she brought home from school last week for washing....;)

Last summer DS managed to step in a 'puddle' there and ended up waist deep in water rather surprising the ducks. We couldn't rescue him for laughing:rotfl::rotfl:
