    Hi there.

    First of all, good wishes all round, epecially to Elle and Guns and Banjos. It will get better, I am living proof of that, even if it takes a while to feel that it is. The thing to do is stay strong outwardly, even if you are a wreck inside, and do, what in your heart, is best for you. Hopefully, you will have one or two people you can trust to break down and cry with, or there are lovely people here, who will listen and have sound advice. Love and best wishes coming your way.

    Good Intentions, I do hope things move the right way for you all really soon now. What a rotten time you are having.

    I know that things aren't always what they seem to an outsider and that there are many men coping in difficult relationships, but why does it usually seem to be the woman coping with the brunt of the money and child issues - nothing seems to have changed much in decades.

    Big breath - and flying! Cleaned bathroom, this morning, both bedrooms, lounge and hall, hoovered through, and did swoop through kitchen too. OH took next door's dogs out, then it was a quick lunch, then work.

    I've done some paperwork tonight and have our meal re-heating right now, with some jacket spuds, so we are eating in 5 mins! Cats gave been fed and have gone back to sleep! Homemade plum crumble and a film to follow, so bye for now, and here's to a good day tomorrow for everyone. R x

    Next week you will all be required to wear these unless you can think of a good reason not too.

    No!!!!!!! Even with my low fashion standards (as my 10 year old daughter is so fond of telling me) you'll never, I repeat never, catch me sliding my feet into those things!!!

    dusty I actually have some of those in my spare slipper cupboard, they were a joke gift ages ago. They're actually quite comfy lol but they are a b@gger to wear over rugs and carpets ;)

    Brother here (currently ironing his own shirt :T), fajita stack went down well (second helpings). Won't be a late night (he's been travelling for 24hrs) and we need to be off for 9 tomorrow. I'm going to get my bag sorted I think, tissues tissues tissues. But, it's going to be ok...

    I love this method of cleaning :)

    I have bipolar disorder and right now everything seems like its of high equal priority (so SO much to do!) but this method stops me from thinking its too big of a task to keep the house clean :) Also, when I'm on a high I suspect that it'll help me control my obsessive cleaning which can get out of hand :/

    We've not longed moved in, lots of things still in boxes and lots of decorating to do, so for the month of January I'm limiting myself to level two only then after that I do decorating and unpacking :)

    Little by little I'm getting there :) that's just what this site is about :)
