Awake and up all night

Well I don't know about that Shimmers. See Gill's earlier post.

You'd have been superb and it was their loss. Adroit should be your middle name xxx

Shortly after a house move was mooted. Err very sensible as a huge 3 bedroom house was clearly unmanageable and bungalows were looked for. 

So the house...boy oh boy oh boy. Err hoarding, unable to do housework, never thrown anything out for well ever? Stuff was ... I really can't believe I didn't take pics.

Then a bungalow was found, near daughter and the nightmare truly began

 how are you doing?

Cheers

Morning Ray of sunshine  

Thanks so much hon, for the lovely post

I was more annoyed than feeling sorry for myself but blurting things out comes naturally. I'm glad I did though for all the great support that's come back. You guys are a tonic and I wish OH was into social media so he could see how it can help.

And I love your guardian vampire moniker.

Hang on, there's somebody at the door...

...a parcel of virtual hugs has just been delivered, thankfully not by DPD else they'd have been dumped up the road. Thank you sir. I've just draped them over my shoulders xxx

I have had an active day being a bit more useful helping my son to service my car. All done now. Quite often, extra exertion causes me to run pink. It is not constant, just  glimpses a few times this evening. I've had far worse in the not so distant past, so I'm not too concerned. Hopefully my TULA in November will make my innards a bit more resilient. Thanks for asking. 

From your posts, you seem to be assisting your friends with admirable determination and wisdom. Do they realise or appreciate your efforts occasionally? That would be nice but not a given because of the complexities of their personalities perhaps. xxx  

I mentioned that the bungalow could be bought before the house sold and initially this was a blessing. 

It also meant ... the truly mammoth and overwhelming task of sorting the house, was mammoth and overwhelming.

Stressy of course is 'his ideas, his way, his pace, and belly first and much tea'.

It was umm a teensy bit stressful ahem ... no burley helpers, no hasmat suits, no cleaning crew and only P pal's car to do tip runs. 

As the days became weeks of physical and mental grind Stressy err got cross.

As he saw it, lack of plan and definites and pal's seemingly lax attitude and not jumping fast on what he thought should be done, pal wanting different things done to house.

 RayMK flipping  wouldn't let me reply but I am giving you this sticky  and this for your kind words and diplomacy

Cheers

So good to hear you're doing ok Ray, and that Son got your car in order. A consignment of Garibaldis would round it all off. If only...

Don't you just love Shimmer's series? Baited breath time xxx

Oh, for a Garibaldi. Rumour has it that some Morrisons sell them. If my search is successful I'll clear their shelf, rather like Sonia does with Mullers.

Compared with you and Shimmers, my life is tranquil. There are disappointments though. Yesterday I had a McD's but my order was messed up. I asked for a 1/4 pounder with cheese meal plus a BBQ sauce. I received a double 1/4 pounder meal but no sauce. It was luke warm. I dashed home, stuffed it in the oven then ate it. I gave it a 3/10 rating i.e. better than usual. Next time I get the urge to have lazy food I'll make marmite on toast. xxx

Suffering sasanachs!  my post seems to have gone pffft!
