    Evening all.
    Pleased to announce
    Wednesday - Kitchen and Dining Room

    ALL DONE:T

    Still not managed to finish Mondays extras tho.

    Work tomorrow & need to go to Costco on the way home. Then 6th form open evening with DS1 at 7pm. Not sure what we will eat. Don't want to buy a take-away as money is tight and DH's car needs 3 new tyres at £126 each:( Ooh just remembered Costco's cooked chickens are reduced to £2.99 - can get one of them and some chips on the way home. Quick dinner sorted:D

    WendyWitch - Hugs. Can you get your GP on side to say that the problem with next door is making your illness worse so hopefully the HA will move you.

    I don't want to move :( I've lived here for 16 years! I'm just hoping that now they have a boy and a girl and we're only 2 bed that they'll move.
    But I do worry that it might be a case of better the devil you know :(

    I might have a word with the GP anyway just so it's on record. It does add to my depression, especially as the XH had a drug problem that lead to the violence
