My home is a mess

Fizzbitz

Morning messies

Quiet weekend here at camp runafizz. Highlight was a trip to the tip with my best friend - 9 sacks of rubbish following operation rescue fizz last week. :embarasse Further 2 sacks on way to charity shop today.

On a real downer as no matter how hard I work, there is just not enough money to make ends meet at the moment. Cannot claim help with my rent as landlord has said I will have to move if I do anything like that. Flipside is I cannot afford to move - hey ho Rant over. Normally I am able to cope emotionally but struggling today.

Thank goodness for these boards and all of the advice - don't think I would have got this far without them. :T

Morning Messies!

Fizzbizz-it sounds like you're having it tough at the moment. There is some help and advice out there that is free. CAB or Consumer Credit Advice I've used the latter in the past. Your landlord sounds a bit unfair don't be downhearted. We're here to listen and help if we can. Big hugs((()))! Try some of the other forum boards they are full of good advice and people that are going through the same thing. Just think it if wasn't for Martin:money:and Budding Blonde we wouldn't be able to reach out share. Well done with the tip run. Thank heavens for best mates!

Well unfortunately here at ExTrolly towers the clouds of depression that ave been circling have desended good and proper. My OH had bad news yesterday, his aunt passed away from a heart attack pretty instant. We were quite close despite the fact that she lived on the south coast. I really feel for him and all the family especailly her daughters. She passed away on the anniversary of her husbands death, spooky.

I think a lot of my problem is sleep deprivation and PMT:mad::mad:. My OH has taken the children with him to work, he could see I wasn't coping. Got a load on line one in WM and plenty more to do. Emptied DS playpen and hoovered out. Had a bacon butty in peace and catching up on an episode of Being Erica on E4. I love this show. I'm going to tidy round the LR properly and the bathroom. It's sunny here this morning and maybe after my jobs and a snooze I'll feel like a new woman! Baby steps to everyone, hope it's sunny where you are.

frizzbizz shelter is a good charity to try for advice. Well done on your clearing out.

Ex trolly sorry to hear your feeling low. Its a struggle to do anything when your feeling depressed but congratulate yourself that you are doing something.
Iv done the kitchen and last nights dinner dishes cba last night after running round cleaning most of the day. More washing in the machine and drier.

Hi Messies

I have been at my mum's for a nice weekend break from OH and kids (just me and little dog ) it was so nice to catch up with my family and not worry about washing, ironing or any cleaning but oh boy am I back I came in and had to empty the dogs bowl as it still had food left from Friday growing mold on it then I loaded the washing machine
I also decluttered my emails, all 98 of them 58 in my spam box too :eek:

I now feel deflated and a bit sorry for myself I hope tomorrow is going to be a good day so I can get back to doing something.

I have been catching up with the posts and was hoping to hear that Parsnip had got little one
Well done for keeping going everyone :T

I forgot to add that my mum has loaded more of her crap on me I even came back with 4 big tubs with plants in

Hart - glad you had a nice break - and sorry to hear that you had a carp return x

Parsnip - are you ok?? Has the bump arrived

ExTrolley and Fizz -[hugs]

Been busy today but the bloomin house is still a pigsty!!

DH is back at work tomorrow - may get something done then, kids are going to wash my car so that means it will be dirtier [they just spread the muck around] and they will be sopping wet as they have water fights when they wash the car!!

See you all tomorrow

PS - we're missing all the regular posters - where are you all, come back cos it's getting lonely on here

Hi Helen and everyone. Feeling a bit down because I am not getting anything done and things are starting to creep back to how they were before.
I have got two lots of washing done today, made a big lasagne, enough for the three of us for two days with jacket potatoes and peas, although I think the portion on it's own would have done. I also got two individual portions of the bolognaise sauce put away in the freezer. Got another couple of pots planted up and a hanging basket.
Were going away on Saturday and I need to get sorted for that but I am exhausted.
Would much rather post when I have accomplished something like getting rid of more clutter or cleaning somewhere that hasn't been done for a while rather than the day to day things that have to be done like cooking and washing.
Hope everyone else is okay. Buddingblond and Taliahmai, are you both okay?

God bless, Esther

Morning all

Weather is lovely so far in sunny Milton Keynes.
I have been up since the crack of bloomin dawn though!! DW is on and so is TD - having to use TD as there is quite alot of washing to be done and it won't all fit on the line lol

Plans for today are to;
Get kids to wash car
Hoover out car
Tidy LR so that I can at least sit down and watch tv without having to peer round gibble thats on the coffee table
Decide what to do with the lovely Piano Stool that I collected yesterday - got it from Fleabay
Post Fleabay sales
Nip to MrT and return jeans that I bought for DS - they are massive and its nothing to do with him being as thin as a bean pole - he eats all and everything - its not fair!!
Start packing
Make sure DD is well occupied today - boredom means she gets stroppy and at 11 years old she is still unable to occupy herself [insert rolly eyes face here please] - its a real pain as DS can keep himself happy for hours if left to his own devices.
Need to WM x 3 - hoping that will sort the washing pile out

Ester - hope you feel a bit better today and for what its worth, I think you did alot yesterday hun

Helen x

Morning fellow messies - have been lurking and skimming recently.
Must get chance to catch up with everyone`s news.
Anyway plan for today is to vacuum upstairs. Clear a little clutter and get washing done. That`s as well as doing a full days work.

Have deleted my rant Must have been walking around with my eyes closed this morning. Didn`t realise that the golf net is no longer by the back door. :rotfl::o:rotfl:
Does anyone else do this?

Have a good day everyone.

Morning Messies

I agree Helen - very sunny in MK, pity I have to go to work as I am in the mood to tackle Mucky Klub.

Grass cut

2 x WM done and on the line
DW emptied and put away

Dinner prepared for tonight

Have 3 items ending on Ebay in a few hours - only one has a bid but 11 watchers so fingers crossed
Free selling this weekend as well, so may sort some listings for then

See you laters
