Bargainhunterss - don't pay the bill till you get it back. Just tell them it's missing and has sentimental value. Although it may be that you didn't get it back because it broke... I have a stash of cheap plain white mugs for workmen/children/clumsy friends

I've emailed the bathroom people to tell them I'm still not happy with the state of the patio, and I'm certainly not paying them until it is done... I'm also getting a quote from someone else so if they don't do it properly I know how much to take off the bill.

Haven't got far with the cleanup. I have no energy (probably due to lack of exercise as much as anything) and the state of the house is depressing me. OH is coming over tomorrow to check up on me, so hopefully I'll remember to be nice to him instead of grumpy. And my dad is coming on Sunday to help get things sorted out.

I did find the energy to strip my bed, but don't have enough to remake it. And laundry is on hold until the airing cupboard is clean. I have hoovered the landing, stairs and some of the hall. I hope to do a bit more before OH arrives tomorrow.

Hopefully it will be sunny on Friday so when froddy comes over we can sit outside so she doesn't have too much opportunity to see the squalor! Although obviously she'll have to admire the new bathroom...

Eeek, thats the only problem. We're renting and the landlord's paying! I asked OH if I should ring up the double glazing firm and he said we'd just look silly asking the nasty man for our cup back! So, if he's not that bothered then I'm not going to cause a fuss! the MIL/FIL are coming over this weekend so I'm sure that when the OH tells them he'll get a new one for xmas or something. It's just a shame!

It looks like lots of hugs are needed, especially for Vanilla you are sounding so strong x

I am sick of getting wet at the Tattoo. Our packing isn't go very well and we move in 8 days. We have done a couple of bits in the house that needed it, the rest should be quite simple but OH goes back to work on Monday so I will be on my own to pack during the day and working at night my problems are nothing compared others here but work is stressing me out and the move too, I would like to be back on our honeymoon please.

aaargh

my mum sent me some pictures (I'm about 4 in them!) and they have caused hotmail to crash and crash and she sent them again and they are too tiny for me to accurately work out who's who, though I can identify me and my sisters. Anywhere they're on Facebook. And NO they're NOT sepia tint!

DD thrust into attic for a fetch out/put in session with mild tidying (she :eek: at spiders); solid filler thrown, tile grout powder thrown *fling* (no tiling has ever been done in this house so it must have been brought with us when we moved in *roll eyes* new filler has been bought. Holes to fill in the Valliteens rooms and 3 teeny ones in the bathroom. So that's the next job. DD has some glossing to do; there are patches to be painted in the Valliteens rooms (where old TV brackets were removed) and the bathroom ceilign to paint but it MUST be rubbed down first.

Hugs aj - I'm sure it'll all come together.

Been blackberry picking - now off to pick DS up.

vanilla

Thanks everyone for the hugs, i'm having a busy day, bunk beds are up, plasterer came and quoted £180 so not bad does mean i'll be spending all weekend chipping the old plaster off. If i get it done he's coming back monday and it should only take a day...:j:j:j

My mum rang and she's coming tomorrow night or saturday to give DS1 his b'day pressent. So i best get a move on with the house.

Hi all
I haven't read any posts sorry - will catch up with them when I can but hope everyone is happy and well x
I haven't been on here much but me and hubby did sort out all the clutter from the kitchen together :j We do have drawers, cupboards and pantry to do but am pleased with result I have also replaced toilet seat and shower curtain and put bath and pedastal mats down in the bathroom which makes it all look much nicer
I've been a bit lazy since then so need to get back into it I'm going to declutter my sink and do a quick hoover around before I give the bathroom tiles a scrub
Hubby is out rehearsing tonight so may have some time with our boys Tomorrow I need to start on our bedroom then I'm out with my friend celebrating her birthday

The wallys made the wrong size glass for the boys room so they are boarded up for the night.. the girls rooms are both finished but they are coming back at sparrow fart oclock in the morning to do the bay and glaze the boys..

I am so tired from this pain in my back and hips I could probably cry if I had the energy.. it is so incredibly draining

Suppose I should go do food.. seeing as I had to wake everyone this morning and they are all tired and grumping.

I moved a few bits in the back room.. just moving the paste table and some bits to the shed and I need to finish filling CS bags from the kitchen .. I filled one with bedding earlier but there is loads of school stuff I need to fling in too.

Was expecting hospital to ring but they havent.. oh well.. didnt want to talk to them anyway.. I am far too stupid.
