Not much work done yet. OH's dad is in hospital and communication is limited so I'm a bit stressed. I have, however, put away a pile of clean laundry and still can't work out why I don't have space for all the clothes that used to fit into the bedroom... (actually, I can, the hatboxes are now on the shelf I used to have jeans & fleeces on, and the summer clothes have all come out of the blanket chest which has bedding in... I really need to move them to make space for woolly stuff).

Need to go to the post office to sign for something that arrived when I was out yesterday and get some cash, then return some unwanted medication to the pharmacy. Bet it starts raining again...

builders are finished and will be back on friday to do the water coat sealent on the pointing and to get there cash. so been to the cash point to take out way to much to feel comfortable walking around. i actually stuffed it in my bra rather than put it in my purse. would rather my bag got knicked with a couple of quid in it than a few hundred! need to go out tomorrow and get more cash so need to wear a lower cut top to make it easier to put the cash in my bra

fruit cake has been made and is in the oven, kitchen has been tidied again, dishwasher is on, load of washing done, walk done with ben. hes asleep so ive had a bit of time playing facebook games, now im off to email dh and then dust the living room and clean the windows.

Sounds like we are in the same club have you had a look at Stormybay's thread on here. It's another place of help and support that has really helped me.

Right I am off out with my friend, have a good day all x

I have seen the thread, thank you! I think it's a little quiet at the mo but makes for encouraging reading. I am determined to make a life for me and the kiddies, you never know how long you've got x


More washing here, and more rain. Booked at salon for my eyebrows decluttering later, and some shiny new nail polish! Hurray!

im not sure of your exact ages or circumstances but i can only imagine how strong you have to be coping with everything life throws your way as well as running a home rasing and supporting children as well as coping with your own grief.
my mil is by no means a young widow she is 83 and lost my fil almost 2 years ago but ive been going to the drs with her regularly since she was bereved so i listen to what the dr says.
the dr is a strong advocate of the fact their are 7 stages to grief no one goes through them in the same time or order and what is right for one person wont help another. mil has been offered councilling but didnt want it. the dr gives her tablets for 'her mood' i think the are mild antidepressants i wouldnt recommend them to anyone but they do seem to be helping her.
one thing i have noticed is that she cant talk about fil and very rarely comes to the cemetery with us. i think she almost manages to convince herself if she doesnt talk about what happened and doesnt 'visit' she can alomst pretend its not happened which cant help in the long term. do you recieve any help im not being nosy and you dont have to answer me at all i think im rambling/thinking out loud and hope i dont upset anyone with this post but im just wanting to check you are getting help with emotional as well as physical day to day things if its available to you
sending hugs to everyone who needs one
