Month passes.....

And not much different! Mum still seeing dad, going to go up once a month and see how it goes. She has just renewed her contract for another 6 months down here, so seems to be staying put, for now. Still says she couldn't live with him...but can't live without him....?!

We are off up to visit the rest of the family next week...looking forward to seeing them! And my step-son is coming back to England to live again, moving in with us and applying for jobs in London. So don't know how long it will be for. I cleaned out the laundry room yesterday to see if we could make it his room, but it is too small and noisy with the boiler and stuff in there. So we are looking to get a cheap caravan to put in the back garden! That or put our two in one room and he has the other! Just need the cash now!!

Hubby working two jobs, and totally worn out most days. Yet still pushes himself. Bills, mortgages, loans, cards....then there's his daughter who is pregnant and due end of November who has just found somewhere to rent, so he's subsidising that until it's born and she gets it all paid for! So we scrape by, as everyone is I suppose.

My sister, who went off the rails, seems to be flirting again...on facebook. Don't know if she is intentional or naive! Though my sister who lives above her thinks she may be heading for trouble! I will see when I go up to stay. Just wish she would realise what she has! And my other sister is now not talking to my mum! Yet will still talk to my dad!?! Don't get it, though she blames it on things in the past, how we were brought up and she felt unloved compared to how mum loved dad...think we grew up in different families the way she goes on sometimes! We probably just all have different recollections of things.

Right, that's it for now, got to go bath the kids then sort out our tea. And try get my head in order!
