    Bossy.. my ex-MIL spent 10 years running away .. she moved house, decorated manically and as soon it was done, she sold up and moved just to start again.. 10 years of her life and her childrens lives.. She was so caught up in all of that she didn't see her children growing up... Listen to that MIL of yours I am sure she has your very best interests at heart :D You can still come and play whether you are flying or not. xx And if you fancy a day off you are welcome to come play in our playhouse!

    mountains of washing done today again.. and I now have to fold it all *cry*
    DW needs feeding again.

    Sorted some charity shop stuff shockingly! and a few bits for ebeast again.

    Bossymoo you are fantastic. You are so open. You are finding your way of coping.

    Just paying some bills. Glad I check all statements, some items returned to Debenhams are not showing up on my account, I have the emails but where oh where are the paper copies.

    In years to come you can tell them of the things Dh did in each room.. things with them, and things which made you laugh and things which you probably wouldn't tell anyone else.

    I'd be tempted to write down everything I could remember for the future.. but I am a documentor.. sad but true.. I write everything down lest I forget... and I forget everything!

    Decluttering myself to bed.. :D xx

    Wise words Pigpen:) and Dusty as always. But Bossy you still must post, I find you so inspirational and love tales of the littlies:) Think we all have our own ways of coping. I've already decided that I'm gonna decorate our house top to bottom as soon as DS, DDiL and VVDGD1 have left for Australia in the hope that it'll take my mind off events! Put some of that energy to good use (plus I'm living in a sh*t hole--cos I'd rather play with our DGC)

    Fly wise I've pretty much stayed on track today agin wooo hooo go me:) I'm pleased and can see a difference already :)
    Thanks again for being there. X
