    Greenbee I don't like giving advice on other people's relationships for I don't think we never know how others feel. His wife will have gone through a whole range of emotions in the past 6 months as will his children and his parents/her parents their wider circle of friends. We know your side but there could be a thread on another forum with her posting and if we 'knew' her we may feel for her just as we do with you. As a friend to you all I can say is you are using up one h£ll of a lot of emotional energy on this and none of that will affect the outcome. As Dr Phil would say we all do things for a reason even though that may not be clear to others. Take time out, take time to be you and try to declutter the whole situation from your mind for a wee while.

    lunch done
    master bedroom done
    landing done
    bathroom S&S'd
    DS2 bed stripped
    DS3 room - all tidy and awaiting cleaning
    DS1's room - work in progress by him

    Off to wander into town to get a few bits.

    Lunch eaten - jacket potato, old ood cheese grated and with tomato chutney I made a few mths ago - now that was yummy, first time I've made this one and will make it again. Remembered yesterday it was all ready to go when I sorted out the other chutneys fro presents.

    2 cakes iced and decorated

    Next is 2 more cakes to top with a glazed nut topping and tie a ribbon around (1 for a present, 1 for me and mum)

    Might have a go at some biscotti later on today alongside the cupcakes needed for tomorrow when I leave part of my job for the last time as it morphs into a slightly different role.

    Not feeling that much better really today but I think I need to go back to work for the last few days to tidy up and finish off

    Monday Mayhem..
    • Clean the oven and hob ready for your feast!
    • Dust round the whole downstairs
    • do a crazy HHC decluttering downstairs

    Sparkles list
    Sort drainpipe out and either refit/repair/replace
    Clear out guttering and fit gutterpillars
    Get some wire netting for draincover
    buy paint for kitchen and door
    Sow winter salad
    Tidy up the garden
    Make flavoured coffee
    Set up cc repayment plan starting Jan and add in 3mths council tax payments until starts again in 4/11 - WIP

    Not too bad, what's left to do, decluttering later when I put the wrapping paper away

    Hi everyone, we are in even if it's a late start joining the thread. Thanks to all in charge for the time and effort you put in, like many I know what it takes x

    Greenbee, you know I'm thinking of you, you're so much more level headed and reasonable than most of us would be. Go easy on yourself x

    Haven't got a huge amount of time to catch up as I am trying to keep DSs on task with completing the play room. Yes it will be finished today if it cripples me or them in the process as I am sick of looking at it now. Anything not sorted today will be flung, end of! They are now screaming at each other so I best go ..... Ttfn
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
