    Don't let it get to you and don't give up. Just do the best you can with what you've got for the moment, and then slowly work on improving it bit by bit (or get piggers round when she's in decorating mode :p:p)

    I have no carpets - i just have painted floorboards, with rugs covering the most badly damaged ones...

    Half of the one hour recording transcribed. I'll have to edit it down on the plane and work out what I'm actually going to say as a. I'll never get all of this in to an hour with a non-english speaking audience and b. I'm not sure I understand all of it :o. Oh well, nose back to grindstone and all that...

    sock.. My insurance runs out on the 21st.. now you know why it is on the list.. :p

    Triker... One step at a time.. you can't do it all at once.. only I can attempt that lol.. I decided one room at a time would be gutted and decorated.. I think you will have to do it the same way.. fling everything out and just do it.. don't look at the big picture it is too overwhelming, just look at individual chunks and break them down into manageable bits..

    I have just finished baby cardy number 10.. I will have a warm baby.. need to do slippers to keep little toes warm soon.. I can do 2 pairs a day so no hurry there.. when I was in hospital for 3 weeks wth DS3 I got loads done! I have enough o do another 3-4 cardies so I'll do those first I think.. I may even sew them up in a batch like before.. lemon one tomorrow.. to match the stripey sleepsuit!!
