I love the idea of the flylady bus coming to Northern Ireland..:rotfl:
PIL rang KH last night and we know where he is, could only by out of two places anyway. We've all said we won't try and contact him but i know he'll ring tomorrow looking his money but he'll be told to go stand in the dole office all day.
Most clean clothes have been put away and all kids still snoring so i'll grab a quick cuppa before they waken.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.:j :j0 -

Morning, just caught up with your news:( :eek: :(and sending you GREAT BIG HUGE ENORMOUS HUGS AND COPING VIBES - AND LOTS OF THEM!!
Stay strong, you must be hurting but you know in your heart you have done all you can. Maybe his brother can knock some sense into him as has been suggested already. Good idea
