    Just sat down and had a quick read through the Fred.

    (Hugs) to Valli.
    Jazee - I'm glad your DH had a good result.

    A long day at work, made worse by lots of traffic there and back. Digging up roads is getting beyond a joke. Dinner cooked, WULTD (thank you Valli for that one, as I rarely DUPA!), kitchen surfaces wiped down, floor swept, DW on. I know - I'm making it sound a lot in a vague attempt to feel that I've actually achieved something today.

    Bed changed so that wm can go on first thing tomorrow while DH is still at home. Bathroom people turned up on time for a second day - I like these people!

    I have a few emails to catch up on, then that's it for today.

  • Came down to tidy and clean living room and kitchen, how nice! OK there was only me here yesterday and I didn't get in from work until after 8pm so not a lot of time to make a mess but I did clear up my dinner and put DW on and sorted cushions before I went up to bed.
    Bathroom and bedroom windows currently wide open to air, not for too long as it's well below freezing here. Cleaner squirted round loo, will scrub it next time I go up.
    Have an hour before need to leave so plan is to have breakfast, put WM on, empty TD including any ironing and put it away. Hoover living and kitchen, just main areas, not moving furniture and I did dust everywhere on Monday in there so should still be ok.
    Off I go

    Hugs to all, have a nice day

    Morning

    Difficult evening yesterday spent a lot of the night awake. Camhs have banned me from using the words attacking and violent so I will be getting the thesaurus out. I think they are trying to discharge him soon. I have to keep another diary for the next 2 weeks.

    Wm filled

    Not sure how much I will get done as he is screaming his head off and banging about.

    Morning :wave:

    This week is going far too quickly :(

    Usual morning stuff done: made the bed, opened the window, made pack up for DS, had breakfast, watched GB ladies win a curling game....

    DS has gone up to get ready for work. I want to get the dailies done before I go visit H - due at her house at 10 am. So

    Round 1 =
    1- WUDUPA
    2- get washed and dressed
    3- feed birds
    4- put out rubbish & recycling
    5- change towels in bathroom
    6- laundry shuffle
    7- call at Mr T for flowers on way to H's

    and I'll set WM x 1 swishing when I come home.

    Hope everyone has a good day

    Rxx

    ETA dancemum I wish I knew what to say. Sending hugs xx

    We can help... confrontational, aggressive, anger-filled, abusive, challenging, fuelled by rage.

    Unless they are trying to get you to look at it as frustration, overwhelming by emotion causing a tirade or explosion.. that way they can make you feel it is all your fault.. They tried to tell DS3 his aggression and anger was normal and that it was everyone else who made him feel that way who was to blame and at fault... They were set quite straight on the matter.

    CAMHS put DS3 on ADs and sent him off for counselling at MIND through a service we could have self referred to anyway... flipping annoying!!

    Girls deposited at school..

    My eyes are still asleep, I am shattered and still have 2 bedrooms to haul out.. starting with moving 2 chests of drawers and taking apart the bunkbeds OH has refused to do. DS3's old bed is broken but it is the bottom bunk and they don't become 2 singles so I need to take apart the 2 singles and separate them so DD3 can have one and DS2 can have one.

    Cuppa and maybe some toast too, I have tummy bears I am so hungry for some reason!

    Morning all. Hugs where needed esp Dancemum.

    I had a much better night's sleep probably because I wasn't worrying about DH. Although he still has to have treatment which won't be nice, at least its not the big C.

    Today, I prepped tonight's tea before 'gardening leave'. I have been sorting paperwork and finances. So still haven't caught up on the bathroom jobs.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
