Mixed bag today....no more packing....3 hrs complete waste of time this morning, next to no help available without being savaged to pieces, letting more strangers into my home, leaping before I look into a private rental that could leave me with several thousand more debt without any kind of security of help and that is all even before the BD and his pack start on me and suffered two full blown panic attacks (one in the council office and another in the Town Hall) in quick succession.

So have feasted on half a hundred humble pies tonight and asked EX if we can do this all another time once I can talk again properly once my jaws have started to heal and certainly once I am off all painkillers so my judgement isn't impaired.

Horsepiddle preps round 1 complete, although need to go to Dr at some point tomorrow to get a scrip to send AF on holiday so my red blood cell count doesn't fall through the floor between now and Friday, then I need more metal work added in my mouth for round 2 of preps.....then I must seriously check what I have that looks respectable enough for my horsepiddle overnight sleepover.

Young Skints all fed, bathed, read to, and one is conked out.....DS is still going strong. DD3 is eager to be ungrounded, so loaded DW and S&S kitchen.

All to go from today's list is "wipe paintwork for sticky fingers", and washed hallway rugs late last ngiht.

Falling asleep at lappie now, so going to sign off before I end up dropping it!

nighty night

Froddy and Honey thanks for sharing re the poppies I think I will order one for our great great uncle.

DS2 cracking on with yet more paperwork and bits for uni, finally have the student finance approved which is a relief.

I need to quickly bash out an agenda and read a couple of policies and that is me done for the night.

Morning everyone
Oh glad you had a great holiday Lynne, what a nice post.

Thanks a million for the kind words


Skinty - thinking of you and think you've made a good decision. I've been in similar and can empathise so wishing you well and sending you some supporting vibes.


Hope you all have a terrific Tuesday

Morning everyone - just in to say I'll probably not be posting for a while as absolutely zilch has been done here for weeks so I am failing miserably -- far too much research and stressing into party wall agreements and other "fun" stuff. Have been awake all night with an horrendous fluey cold - thanks DH - and thinking round all the problems.


Will be thinking of you Dusty if this weekend is when DS2 goes off to uni - it is only 20 mins on the fast train to Kings X.


Love and hugs to everyone going through difficult times with ex, HMRC, kitchens, life in general!


Take care xx
