Re: not coping

im not to sure @Snowie everything just feels messy, stressful and painful atm.

i have been cleaning too but not half as much as what i really shouldve been. i was aiming for getting the washing done but i honestly only got one load done today.

Re: not coping

That is understandable @outlander you are going through so much at the moment.

Least you got some washing and cleaning done, better then none at all.

Re: not coping

that is true @Snowie i might throw another load of towels in and just chuck them in the dryer.

Have you got much on tomorrow?

Re: not coping

Hehe @outlander I iron H's work clothes, thats about it.

Hoping the specialist gets in contact with you sooner rather then later and you can work out the payments tomorrow.

Re: not coping

my nan use to be an iron fanatic. she would iron and wanted literally everything ironed 🤦‍♀️ @Snowie

i really hope they ring me too, the sooner its sorted out the better i think.

Re: not coping

I try to iron most days @outlander so it doesn't pile up too much. Same as washing.

Are your sisters on school holidays yet or do they have another week to go?

In response to: Re: not coping

Re: not coping

this will be the last week @Snowie then off for 2 weeks. my sister has a job interview on thursday so these holidays might look a little different. she has a job atm but its not very well paying at all and although she likes it she has already said she would prefer to work for better money and then just do the other job when she has spare time which is what i do as well. shes getting to the age not many places want to hire in that bracket so i really hope she will get this job. would also help boost self confidence and everything as well.
