    Oh b***gger :( I get so frustrated in those sort of situations I loathe, loathe, loathe them :( I confess, sometimes I really do scream into a pillow, but its so exhausting I try to keep a lid on it. Hope its resolved soon, beanie.

    Bubbles - thats a really interesting post, I'll find your thread in a mo.

    Another day.
    Am going to meet DS today.
    Exited but apprehensive.
    We shall see.

    Decluttering continuing.
    Exhausting but very liberating at the same time.

    I have an interior door that needs replacing. Been quoted 650 for two so that won't be happening. :eek: :rotfl:

    Am away this weekend so am looking forward to that but also apprehensive as it is out of my comfort zone. Will miss my best boy no 2<<<

    I don't want to be horrible but if you're waiting to feel your best, you wouldn't get to do much. Just go, enjoy the weekend with people who clearly want your company. As for the doors, eeek!

    Absolutely - do what you can, beanie, and just take your time. People start to believe you have needs in the end - for this Scottish wedding, I've already heard that the bride's mum has set aside a bedroom for me to rest in, during the reception, which is amazing :)

    Hope your weekend is wonderful :)

    Nothing really to report.
    Good weekend last weekend.
    Spent way too much money.
    Am slowly trying to sort out house since the departure of my lodgers.
    One room painted through the local time exchange.
    A lot still to do.
    Physically & mentally exhausted.
    plodding along with baby steps.
    Am going to borrow money to replace the worst of the blown conservatory windows.

    Hope all my lovely readers are well.

    Rest whenever you can and keep plodding
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
