    Ruth, I am sorry to hear of your loss. my thoughts are with you at this sad time.

    i went to bed after taking my medication last night, ready to just fall into bed and crash out. DD2 had emptied all my moisturiser and make up all over my bed, there was foundation everywere so i had to strip the bed, then it was on the fleece underlay so that needed changed (lucky i had a spare) then...it was on the matress aswell. I now have a verry moisturised matress and a daughter with a sore bum... and she's getting worse

    This morning she has emptied the frige, removed all packaging, placed it in the shoe cupboard and put the food in order all over the floor.

    cleaned that up...went into living room

    all my knitting is all over the floor (pulled off the needles) money all over the floor from the copper jar. eczema cream all in her hair, on her clothes on the windows.....I could actually cry right now.

    she has the hospital this morning so were in for another stressfull day. i dont know how much of the list i will get done when i get back.

    Sorry i've been MIA most of the week. Things here are abit nuts at the minute and the BD has appeared. I'm stressed to the max, hubby is starting to get ill with it all. If he keeps going the way he's going he'll be in hospital by the end of the month. I just can't deal with that at the minute.:(:(

    We're now at the plastering stage in DD's room, the bathroom has got abit too. So bathroom is out of use from 8am till 5pm and it's a total nightmare in there. Utility room is cleared out for the sparky who was suppose to be up tuesday (still hasn't appeared) so all spralled across the front hall. I'm looking to paint utility room but theres no point until sparky been.:mad:


    I don't even know how to start the bedrooms, there all full till bursing. Our bedroom needs plastered but hubby wants the room painted white before they do, he doesn't want them to see that its football. So i'll have to do that saturday or tell him that no one will notice (which they won't once the boarder is down) but he is unwell and isn't thinking straight. Plus the room will need to be completely gutted.


    I'm just feeling like crap at the minute, Rhys has been awful all week with his teeth so he's up and down through the night aswell as not eating right and throwing up. Plus i've got a lovely cold to go with it all.:(

    I just don't know what to do, i don't know where to start...I just want to dissapear until it's all done. I don't think i've ever felt this down, the only thing i'm holding onto is that they should be finished in 4 weeks. I'll post some pics tonight.

    I'm sorry for such a long moan, i'm just stuck at the minute and don't have anyone to talk too.:(

    Ruth i am so sorry for your loss big hugs to you and your family.
    Sexy i'm glad you've got a date for finishing.

    I have tried to keep up with the thread but not much has went into my brain, i hope everyone is well and that any poorlies are feeling better.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
