Hi INOD
Just back from holidays and I'm sorry to hear about your sister. I thought about you on my way back up from Dublin airport. OH & I stopped at an Applegreen as I was starving so we got a sarnie. When we were leaving I got 2 bars of Cadbury. OH looked at me as I explained that a friend online told me that Southern chocolate was better than Northern which is why I was buying it
:D. 0 -
Sorry for your loss INOD xx
Definitely do what's right for you, ignore everyone else's opinions. Sometimes routine and taking our minds off things helps us get through tougher times.

Hump day and I'm in work for half of it. I've morning meetings in dublin and then a counselling session in the afternoon. I've got to say that I'm not sold on the approach but I will stick at it for six weeks anyway. There was a possible new job on the horizon but that's no longer an option. Not sure how bothered I am. Am heading for a bust up with dd. She's just being a nightmare to live with and I've had enough. Been putting it off as am not sure that I can deal with the stroppy fall out but she went to bed last night leaving our front door wide open. Enough is enough. Wish me luck with that this evening. Hope everyone has a good day.Mortgage at 01.01.14 £119,481.83:eek: today £0 Emergency fund £5.5/5.5k & £200/200 cash.:jWeight 24/02/19 14st 7lb now 12st determined to stop defining myself by my mistakes.

Hmm, perhaps remove everything portable of value from her room, and say something like "they went out the front door when you left it wide open last night... actions/lack of actions have consequences"
But, I'd go a bit easy on her atm because she could be extra disengaged due to losing her aunt? It's so hard to judge what effects grief will have.
I did once throw a pile of DSs clothes out of his bedroom window after warning him that if he didn't put them away it would happen (he'd had 3 chances over the afternoon). Oh the wailing, but it never happened again.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0 -
I wish you well with that!!!

I once had to start at the bottom stair in my parents house and pick up my items to be put away. This was after my father had ventured into a large attic bedroom shared by his three daughters.
