    WOOOOOOWWWWW!!! what a kitchen! Mine only has one small surface which has the microwave on it(the area is the same size as the microwave!) and the kettle and toaster are on top of the microwave. I use the top of the washing machine to "prepare" etc. There are no tiles on the walls(after I pulled them off 2 years ago) and no flooring, only the floorboards(not those nice sanded and varnished ones I add). But at least there are no more dishes to do!!!

    hi stephb thanks for the welcome :)

    oh it's awful, there are two of us (me and OH), and we have 4 baskets full of ironing that needs to be done.!!i can't even look at it, let alone get started on it!

    i don't know if i'm allowed to ask this but anyway...
    i was diagnosed with clinical depression 5 years ago, at 14 and the GP saw me for 5 minutes, prescribed prozac, and although i kept going back, she kept re-prescribing the same thing, even though it wasn't helping - due to this I have been reluctant to go back, even to see another doctor.
    I do want to go back, as I am feeling worse these days - but I don't know how to approach it at all.any advice on what to say anybody?

    Are you on any medication at present? Or seeing the doctor at all?

    no, i've not been back since my bad experience (well, doctor appearing disinterested after 10 or so appointments). and i'm not on any AD's, but i'm wondering if my pill has anything to do with it being worse. probably doesn't but idk!

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    i have to wash the dishes but i really cant be arsed. Every day and night is the same thing.I use to enjoy housework, sometimes still do but im soooo tired and cant be bothered, i have soooo much ironing, i have soooo much washing aswell as clothes to be out in the washing machine. My son is still awake with toys in places altho he is good whenj itell him to tidy up his mess he does but its like a boot fair in here, i hate the flat anyway so it doesnt help. i dont want to go sleep yet altho i could, maybe i just need an early night but when i do have the early night i wake up a few times and then cant get asleep again. Im craving for a fag, i have given up and im eating like a pig!!!i either starve myself for days or i binge eat on junk food but i dont make myself sick.
    i have no enrgy to get up.But i better lol
