    I've been up a few hours now, didn't sleep well and had bad dreams.

    So today i'm gonna try and keep as busy as possible and knock KH out of my mind..:(
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning all,

    Massive hugs Vanilla, sending you some keep strong vibes xxxx

    We made good progress yesterday in my office. We've bagged and boxed loads of stuff that needs selling, binning or charity shopping. I was going to go through all my files and shred anything over 2 years old but i think that'll just take up too much time. My house now looks like someone's turned it upside down and shook it and the letting agent's coming over tomorrow to fill in the forms. :eek:

    I don't think i need to go anywhere today so i've got a whole day to declutter, hopefully i can get a big chunk of it done.

    Morning all

    Didn't switch the computer on yesterday but I have been thinking about vanilla.

    All I did yesterday was some washing (which dried) and general cooking/washing up and tidying round. And six lots of eye drops and 3 lots of painkiller for the cat who cringes every time she sees me.

    I've got one load of washing out this morning and the towels are in the machine now. Veg prepared for dinner. Oh, I did get the grass cut yesterday too.

    Two lots of eye drops done so far and one lot of painkiller. I have to write it down when I do it or I can't remember when the next lot is due. It's like voodoo, after scraping her eyeball they took blood from her jugular and extracted serum from it which is what the eye drops are. Weird. I hope it works.

    Since my last post i have

    Sorted rabbits
    Put the dw on (Ds1 knows how to fill it but seems incapable of switching it on)
    Folded a load of clean laundry
    Td x 1
    Put yesterday's shopping away :o (but in my defence we went straight from tesco to neveah's then rushed home to get ready for a meal out with OH and all the kids, when we got home i put the rabbits & Ds2 to bed, put my pj's on and promtly fell asleep on the sofa. I was woken up by Ds1 coming down for the loo at 6am when i realised with a start the tooth fairy hadn't been to Ds2, then i fell back to sleep until 8am when Ds2 came down proudly clutching his £1 coin :D)
    Cleared drainer
    Handwashed
    S&S KItchen

    I'm going to get washed & dressed, make the beds & collect all the dirty laundry and then the decluttering/packing starts.

    Well KH has signed himself out of hospital and is in some druggie den somewhere. I swear i didn't think he could break my heart any more but he has. He's parents offered him a bed at there's (which was really hard for them) and he said it wasn't the right time. So he gone for good. We all think we'll get a phone call in a few days to say he's dead. He brother is ready for coming down and knocking him out. I'm just completely gutted, i thought he might put some effort in. :(:(:(:(

    So i've hade a few drinks and a long soak in the bath. My plan is to not answer any phone call or messages from now on. Oh boy if i had more drink, i wish i had flipping more drink..


    More hugs and coping vibes coming your way........ It's so sad but you can't do it for him - he has to want to help himself. Hope you and the kids are OK!

    It sounds like it's time for us to dig out the flylady bus and pop over to Northern Ireland......

    Congrats to jojo! Well done on your win!

    I can't remember who was going to watch the Tattoo this weekend but I hope you had a good time and didn't get too wet.

    Today is the last full day OH and I have together before the move and we have a lot to do. We need to clear a space in the front bedroom, pack the cardboard wardrobes, empty the loft and start packing the kitchen. We can do the rest separately through the week. Managed to have a gap in the rain yesterday to sort the shed out.
