Perhaps that’s what they all need to see. Hope you’re ok Buffy xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x2 -
Hanging around waiting for other people is infuriating, particularly when you're already feeling under time pressure because you have so much to do. It sounds like some time away is just what is needed to get everyone to come to terms with reality. I hope it's a long enough trip to make sure that the message sinks in.2

I am so pleased you are going away perhaps then the penny will drop and all concerned will see how much you do and have to cope with. You are such a lovely person and are being dealt a raw deal at the moment, you go away and thoroughly enjoy yourself and hopefully things will start to change in the future x2

I totally know where you’re coming from. I’m attempting to clear up the garden and Mr SA decided to ‘help’. Basically he has shuffled through some dog 💩 and got it all over the path. Apparently it’s my job to make sure it’s cleared up 😕 He’s now resting and added an extra job to my list as I have to clean the path.Don’t dread going away, you have your life too, and your sister needs to see what you have to put up with.Sending hugs xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Hi, long time reader, first time poster, might be a bit blunt.
I honestly hope that your mum is her usual self, not eating if left to her own devices.
Not power charged by steroids or behaving well as she hasn't seen your sister in how long is it now?
I would guess you're supplying lists of what the dogs and small fluffies need and the less endearing habits that the dogs have.

I don't care if it isn't technically on the way/way back), or running the hoover round the areas that are already clear.
Thanks Greenbee XXNevertheless she persisted.2 -

I know what you mean Short bird, I don't want her to be ill but equally I need someone else to see what I am dealing with.

Since I last posted I have
1. Fallen asleep during Downton Abbey the movie.
2. Fixed the washing machine (blocked filter, so gross)
3. Cleaned the kitchen floor (the two might be connected, you can draw your own conclusions)
4. Made a roast dinner.
5. Ate the dinner.
6. Said good night to the rabbits
7. Done two loads of washing.
8. Sorted Mum's pills.
9. Cleaned up from dinner.
10. Fed dogs.
Still need to feed piggies, make bed and pack bag for tomorrow.

I always fall asleep watching films, it’s doesn’t mean the film is boring, I just can’t sit for long periods of time without falling asleep.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2
