LW I'm sure you will be ok ish, as it is raining, I am sure it will dampen down any blue air....................

Been sorting my xmas hidden heap, and wrapping as need be, it seems I have a load of stuff left over, and not enough of male type stuff, needs to put thinking cap on. Cards sorts and written, just need 5 birthday cards now...........

Had pancakes for lunch with lemon and sugar yum yum

Ironing is called me to do it...................

LW I'll be thinking of you and sending calming vibes

Katiehugs, your pain sounds so raw

Serena I'm lacking GUAG too, lack of sunshine, might order one of those bright light things.

I've cleared and wiped the long kitchen side, I still have the granite and window ledge to do but am having a cuppa now.

Need to go to Mr L but can't find my mojo for that right now.

Thank you for all the hugs they mean a lot


I have cleared my list-it only had two things on I thought I would keep it simple!


OH does not want to do anything about bank accounts and he has no intention of making me sell house -how kind. I did shout at him yesterday as he bought a puppy in May and took it for a walk yesterday-only the second time since we've had her to help me out. He then told me he loved her so I said oh so much you are leaving her. He was not happy but it was how I felt. She is a little staffy and can tell something is wrong


Her walk was job one on list- it was nice, the sun is out but it is cold out there and I cleaned the sink in bath room.


Hope you all have a good day


Take care -Katiecat

Katie, reading between the lines I am assuming you may have joint accounts - in this case please be careful as he could empty it (people change their minds) but, by the same token so could you.

Please be VERY careful; keep an eye on what's going out and if you suspect he is taking out credit get yourself disassociated from him.

It might be worth ensuring you have an emergency fund stashed.

Most solicitors offer a free half hour initial consultation.

I know you will be going through a tough time - (((hugs)))

Walls stripped. Now showered. About to go to put slap on as turnig up for my flu jab looking like a tramp isn't in the plan.

Just dashing in and out, sorry not been around much this week so I dont know whats going on. Hope all goes OK with your appointment LW.

I am on holiday until Monday. The house is a tip, I am on a knife edge trying to stop the kids constantly falling out, there are a million and one things to do. And breathe ...

Going to decide which jobs are an absolute priority. Oh actually I might have a brew first.

Valli

flu jab had.

just having a :coffee: then will finish tidying up lounge.

Ought to go and get wallpaper samples as now have bare walls.

Hi all, just stopped for a 10 min break. Had a productive morning - old wardrobe dismantled and taken to the tip, tsco order arrived and has been stashed, dishwasher load, kitchen bin and compost bin emptied. Our bed made, lunch made and cleared away. Pizza dough in bread maker. Kids are now 'doing rough play' on the sofa :undecided: :hmm: - will end in tears!

Feel a bit overwhelmed with everything still to do this afternoon

Sympathy / empathy / hugs for those who need them - especially those with medical stuff going on and katiecat. Stay strong.

I have a question about daily lists - would anyone be willing to share theirs?

I feel like I have SO MUCH to do each day, I can barely stay on top of daily stuff, let alone deeper cleaning / decluttering. The house feels grimy at the moment, and I'm struggling to feel in control of everything! I've been thinking about getting a steam cleaner, but I don't know if it would actually speed up my cleaning routines or help at all. I saw a few poeple mentioned having / getting one - I'd love to know your views on it.

Right - back to work!
