Morning
Gruff, I am so sorry for your mum That must be awful for all of you. The feeling of helplessness is overwelming. I'm not a religious person at all, but will deffo keep her and your family in my thoughts, along with hope and good wishes. Also hoping GC has turned the corner as you say, poor little mite
Also hoping that IDOB has just been too busy snuggling to be worried about letting us know any news, does she not realise that she is stopping me from getting my arse into gear and getting on with the packing? That goes for you too STT! (Think that's the longest text I've ever striked through! Bet at least one of the words isn't crossed out!)
Diege, I have also left most of the housework, am still hoovering the living/playroom, and washing kitchen sides down, more for hygene, but everything else has gone out of the window. Though I am being very good and have set time aside in 'The Moving Schedule', so that once it's all empty and DH takes the kids out somewhere, I will polish, hoover, wipe down, scrub, sweep, mop, everything and get it clean for them to move into. Will never forget when we moved in here, he'd left the boiler not working - no hot water, house was filthy, and I do mean filthy filthy, bits of toe nails left all over the bathroom floor, dead flies on the bottom of the fitted wardrobes, the kitchen was thick with grease and dirt, and the cooker LOL It worked, except where it'd not been cleaned for god knows how long, all the rotten food on the bottom of it, had actually rotted away the bottom of the oven, I was cleaning it (with hot water from the electric shower!), hand went through bottom of oven, so I yelled at sent DH to get to shops to buy a new oven. We moved in on the Friday morning, by Sunday night, we'd bought a new oven and hob, had British Gas cowboys out to the boiler, and had decided on the new kitchen we were going to have to unexpectedly buy! Could never leave these buyers to move into anything like that!
Ses and SST, I have no advice I'm afraid re. the sleeping, despite having been on both ends of the spectrum (1 who just would not sleep, and 1 that slept for England!) but, it sound's like both of you are making good progress
Kay, we ended up with a kebab last night, I got in from driving at 8.15, kids went straight to bed, Mikey had a bottle, all of us are full of colds, there was no way we were going to start cooking at 10 o'clock! Only thing is, we usually only ever brave the kebabs when we've had a drink, and then they seem very tasty, when stone cold sober... well, they're not very nice to put it mildly!
Am about to go and order DS1's new uniforms from JL, it is all getting a bit too close and real now. Can't believe we're moving next week, away from everything, new house, new area, new schools, new people,
