What have I done!

My youngest son gets the keys to his nice new flat tomorrow, rang me over a week ago, 'Mum decide the furniture I need, colour scheme, plan how it will all work, shop for what I need, buy what makes it a great flat, do the work to get it to what he wants, then I forgot thats I dont actually shop anymore, I rarely leave my house, he rightly so as his mother to make his first place a great place to be in, any other time, love creating, designing, and can see what I want to do to his flat to make it his place to live, but can I overcome leaving my safe place :/

Sam i know you can it is surprising what we can do when we are neede, i did the same for my son a couple of weeks ago, cleaned for him and even went to lunch last week his girlfriend made us lovely pasta dish, did'nt feel like doing any of it, but i did cause he needed me and quite enjoyed it....and you can too. good luck xx

[sam66]

ok, this I have to overcome

[pinkdove]

Don't be too hard on yourself, it is hard, but it is surprising what we can do for our kids, but not for ourselves....good luck and hope your son is happy in his new flat, somewhere you can visit, when he's settled in xx

washing machine to plumb in tomorrow, cooker to sort yet, hallway to do tomorrow, I would clean the windows but I dont do heights either and looking down makes me ill, but I'll kinda do what I can, its exhausting this :/

WOW Sam you have been a busy bee :yesyes:

That sounds fab and I bet your son is so pleased to have you helping him!!!

You are so inspiring!!! Especially with the glossing, I hate glossing!!!

[sam66]

I hate painting Mcched, glossing I really hate, but his flat is coming on a treat, one more day away from my safe place should see the decorating done, then just got to deal with moving day, I even wallpaper shopped with him, I have found this so hard, but they are ya kids and you want whats best for them

[sam66]

Not even a thanks Mum, hes got his issues with drugs and I did tough love, blokes work differently to us lasses I know that, they dont give anything away or show emotion, but for all the work I did, just a thankyou would have been nice, this is why the more people I meet... the more I love my dog

[sam66]

give me a whole house of animals that need rescue to any human, Im not a great people person :/
