mrsS your neighbour needs an ASBO....
crem your MIL is moving in....? Is that ok? 
Rudy that is quite a first day experience...your DD will be fine, bless her. 
Beachy good luck with arrivals at college and moving in.. exciting!! Years ago, we drove Ds1 to Leeds with a car full of most of his bedroom at home and his studio computer, decks, miss and recording shizzle. He was quite happy to see the back of us after we'd crippled ourselves having dragged it all up umpteen flights of stairs...hope your Ddad gets over the bug quickly.
stropps there is some progress there, I think....? Wearing you out of course. You are a saint.
I have the MU in my diary...all depends where and timing etc iPad won't copy and paste, sorry. I'm on a train to Bristol having had a 5am start, and not having slept since 3am. Why do people eat chips for breakfast on trains ? The smell makes me want to heave. Thanks all for support re family sitch. I just have to get over it. DM is so beside herself about everything she really can't see beyond the ever decreasing circles she is running around in. Let's see if she can gradually let go a bit and let the nursing and care staff do their job instead of micro managing everything. I am withdrawing a bit now. Will visit next week. This is how it's always been...and why I have to stay at a caring but definite distance in the long run.
