    Hi Twinkle,

    Sorry to hear about the break in... but I guess if you OH has agreed to move then thats a step forward... Hope everything gets sorted for you soon.

    Sorry to hear about the break in twinkle.

    I hope everything gets organised with a view to move. Not sure what to suggest about motivating your OH, I guess you just have to keep at it.

    house.

    I really want to just go now. Unfortunatley a lot of what needs doing I can't do so I'm not really sure how I can help...but I really want to get him focused and doing!

    Let an estate agent tell you how much of the value he will lose by not decorating ! Crazy not to get your kerb appeal up for your sale.

    Well folks I despair of him. He got up at 12....watched tv. Washed up (or rather was in the middle of doing it when I got in) but only half of the dishes. Then he went off to watch his brother play footy in the car.

    He was supposedly doing the food shopping (he offered and said he would), he's not done it though and we've no bloody food in....not even cereal. Grrr....

    I'm gonna let it go since it's his first proper holiday day but I'll bloody kill him if it keeps up! Still I gotta love him....he just sent me a txt saying he's gonna pop back with fish n chips for me after the game (before going on to the pub) so I can have something to eat! Bless him.

    I'll focus on the move when I'm off at the end of May (and have no yr 11's anymore.....yahoooooooo)! Then hopefully we can pull together a plan of action!

    Well its the weekend and a week closer to year 11 leaving. Woo bloody hoo!! I cannot wait.

    Nothing has been done round the house in terms of the house itself...but lots has been taken to the tip and has been organized. So we are getting somewhere, even if it is slowly!! We need to get cracking with it though and OH says there is lots thats bugging him that we need to get sorted, so fingers crossed thats a good sign.

    Hes much happier now hes handed in his dissertation. More like himself again which is nice.
