Am v.v.v.v.stressed. Kitchen hopefully going in tomorrow

Blardy hell - this sorting a house out is v. stressful indeed.

We've been living at my Mum's for nearly 5 months now and in desperation have booked our furniture to arrive in 3 weeks' time so we end up with a moving in date.

The house is still mostly plaster and floorboards but we're frantically painting, the bathroom's gone in and the kitchen should be being fitted tomorrow...

Carpets are coming in 2 weeks' time so all painting needs to be done by then.

I can't take any time off work so we're painting/sanding/cleaning every evening and are both knackered.

Anyway, just wanted to offload a bit of stress before I go to bed!

Fine - will ramble on to self. Am in tears (ridicously) because the kitchen's going in right now only I can't be there because dp's got the car and I'm looking after ds2.

The electrician hasn't been and sorted the sockets out (he promised it would be done by this morning) so I'm assuming nothing will work even if it all gets in.

I forgot to get cash out for the kitchen man so can only pay him a third today.

The plumber's on his way round to be paid - I've got the cash but can't get there.

AM VERY STRESSED OUT....

Its very stressful swore I would never go through it again. We moved out for what we thought was 10 weeks and didn't get back for 5 months. Good luck !

Thanks - dp's talking about delaying for another couple of weeks - we've got carpet arriving in 2 weeks and our furniture 3 days after that - but it feels like it's never going to happen, so I'm standing firm on dates at the moment - but the stress is unbelievable.
