Afternoon
Just having lunch and cracking on here before Dad comes to help put the caravan away.
I need to get downstairs straight(ish!) for friends that are coming over this evening.
Vanilla the only thing I can add as a suggestion is that you write everything down, your thoughts, feelings and ways of solving the situation (including those that you will/do not necessarily want to go). Make copies for hubby, his parents and the CPN to read so they can get your opinon on it all without interruptions. It might help clarify things for you all and may even throw up other ideas to pursue. I really hope you can sort things out for you all as your health has to be suffering in all this as well.

Easter Monday
DONE
Tuesday~ Kitchen and Dining room

As well as completeing the list I scrubbed out the bin, cooked the meatablls that where lingering in the fridge for the dog and made lunch for OH and myself. I also brushed and mopped the hall floor and sorted the hotspot that had built up there.
This afternoon I may tackle the back sitting room which seems to be getting a little out of hand but first of all Im going to declutter my lunch and a cup of coffee."Let your boat of life be light, pack only what you need- A homely home and simple pleasures,one or two friends worth the name, someone to love and someone who loves you, a cat, a dog, a pipe or two enough to eat, enough to wear and a little more than enough to drink, as thirst is a dangerous thing" Jerome k.

I've started on the kitchen (walked to the shops this morning then did two wash loads and a bread batch) Bread now rising and the skirting boards, window frame and part of the floor washed. Need to get that area sorted as the new fridge and freezer are due for delivery in the morning and want it respectable as will need the delivery men to take them through the house.
It's amazing how much you can get done. I took VR too and the skirting boards have never been so clean!!
Have spent the last hour in the kitchen diner so will report back on my progress after lunch
