Awake at silly o'clock again.
:grouphug:I am going to my mums overnight later and new carpet day is Wednesday.
Although I did not pay for carpet I now wish I did not get a more expensive one.
Why? Buy cheap, buy twice.As of tomorrow or Wed I will have no TV reception broadband or home phone.

Home phone - get people to phone you on your mobile...
This will all have to be dealt with and costs money I really can't spare and energy i don't have.
You'll have spare money and energy because a certain pair won't be sapping it.So tomorrow is the end of an era.

Dear Beanielou
You are experiencing the natural grief and loss at this change, and that causes great emotional fatigue which does us no good.
Take it in small steps think about what you can achieve in the next few hours - that might mean feet up with a cuppa - or wine o'clock.
This time will pass - and there is the prospect of quality time with loved ones, when things have settled.
As you would say keep plodding, slowly....

Just had a catch up on your diary Beanie - here's to the new era............... it's hard when you miss them but hopefully you'll have a far more positive relationship - you all need space, when you meet up it'll be because you want to meet up not because there is no alternative because you're all living together.
Good news on he 23's and exciting times with the new carpet - what colour - did I dream it or did you say a purply shade............ I love the smell of new carpets. I bought a shoe rack from b&m and it's transformed my wardrobe - looks really tidy and no rummaging for odd shoes.January spends - £587.581 -
