Worst Week EVER!!!

Options
This is purely just a little rant 'cuz I feel like rubbish.

We are having some work done to our house (bad timing I know - nobody else needs to tell me how dumb I am) including replacing all the doors, frames and architraves, all new carpets upstairs, replastering in my upstairs bathroom and bedroom, new upstairs bathroom and redecorating upstairs and my front room and dining room.

Monday - the joiner broke his foot and spent all afternoon in Fracture clinic at Hospital.

Tuesday - the plasterer shouted at us cuz the joiner hadn't made enough progress..

Wednesday - the plasterer came and did some work then walked off job at the end of the day never to return...

Thursday - my florist dropped out.

This morning - I have weighed myself and am a stone heavier than I was when I bought my dress and I have my first fitting next week..

Thats a massively simplified version of whats going on but I basically feel like going to bed tonight and not bothering to get out at all tomorrow. I feel so stupid for trying to redecorate this late before the wedding but was worried for OH as his Brother is very judgemental - he inherited his late Mothers house jointly with his Brothers and we mortgaged them out and haven't been able to afford to do much to the house until now. I wish I had just waited and screw what they thought of us and done it when we didn't have so much on our plate. I could cry :(

  • Firm believer that things happen for a reason. In this case, your plasterer was probably a waste of space and your replacement will do a job so spectacular, your outlaws will be jealous.

    Florist will be replaced by a better one also, who again will achieve all you want and more.

    Dress fitting, you are so stressed at the moment, you will lose the weight quickly.

    Think on the positive, you are marrying a man you love and who loves you deeply, you have achieved so much more in wedding prep than you have fallen on, you will have a fab home....

    And don't forget to read your signature :D
