  • Just home - after a very long day at work. House if freezing but I refuse to put the heating on this early! Determined to make it to halloween.

    No motivation to do anything tonight - and tomorrows list is already up!!!

  • Pigpen - my spare room, not that long ago, was a total car crash and i only have 2 children - now aged 19. It got so crowded in there that i just used to stand at the door and chuck stuff in - i have got pictures of it, but don't know how to upload them, otherwise i would. Its sorted now, 'cause i had people coming to stay, I would have liked to have ebayed it, but could not cope with it, so just Freecycled it.

    I told mine he wanted a new girlfriend so had to leave because that was not acceptable. I also told them I was fed up of him bullying us all.. the truth but very basic.

    You'll be fine.. this has been coming a while.. he isn't worth the tears or the sadness... in a year. you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner!

    Try and get some sleep. Apparently things look better in the morning (although I'm not sure which morning...)
    And no, you can't keep taking him back, you deserve better. Tackle it with a clear head, tomorrow. They will probably have an inkling anyway. Kids just know stuff sometimes, don't they?

    greent - piggers gives very good advice! Telling the kids the basics is a good idea - they will already have picked up a lot....

    :grouphug::grouphug: lots of these winging their way to you.... and plenty of flylady vibes....
