Sorry I haven't been around for so long! (still no computer)
Too many problems to deal with!
Some have been health issues that are too personel to discuss on here,those closer to me know what I have been going through.
Still no sign of a house move although I put our names down for 3 last week! I'ts close to 3 years since I applied for our membership to the housing association and its coming round to another winter,frosts and snow are forecast for this week!
Having been ripped off by the builder who was supposed to have fixed our roof and put in a new kitchen ,bathroom and shower room,we now have a hole in the ceiling and 2 bowls where the water comes in when it rains,the mold is back in the kitchen and I have to wipe the walls in the bathroom,down two or three times a day becuse of the condensation.It looks like they didn't use waterproof tile adesive as the grout is coming off the tiles and they are becoming loose!We now have no hot water and no central heating because he didn't connect the boiler properly and we found that the thermostat wasn't even connected,the wires are still rolled up under the floorboards.
And where is the builder you may ask, He took mine and probably other peoples money and dissapeared to Spain!!!
I will never trust a man again!! I thought he was a decent bloke who kept saying "don't worry leave it to me" and as I was so ill at the time I left him to it.
I had a new washer and tumble dryer and he told the guys who delivered it that he would install them,we now know why,it was because instead of doing the necessary electrics he just put an extention lead under the kitchen cupboards and plugged them into that,if water had been spilled god only knows what would have happened!
Am I stressed,am I depressed,you're dammed right I am!!!!!
We now have a dehummidifier in the kitchen (thanks to the girls dad who turned up with it to help us out) but what we really need is to get out of this house!
So that is the way things are with us at the moment!
On a lighter note Beth has been at college since September and is loving it,she now has bright pink hair and has had so many people stopping her and saying how good it looks,its so funny to see the looks on peoples faces especially young children,who tug at their mums and say wow that girls got pink hair and Beth just smiles back at them! She has made lots of new friends in her fashion textiles and design course and will be going on trips to fashion shows and textile museums through out the course,wish I could have signed up for it too,it sounds like so much fun!
I have started to try and catch up with everyone but it will take some time as I've like a bear with a sore head and not wanting to chat,but I have missed you all and when I logged on to Beth's laptop I had almost 4000 emails to sort out and no I am not that popular lol ,it's just that I am a member of our local freecycle group so I could delete most of them!
I probably won't be blogging dayly as I really don't think I have anything interesting to say at the moment,hopefully that will all change once we have a change of circumstances.
Thanks to everyone who emailed me it's because of you I decided to pop back,I appreciated them so much,THANK YOU!
Love to you all ,Take care,
Kathy and the girls

so glad they are there for you!
Take good care! and thanks for popping back in!
Just a note to let you know I am thinking of you. Thank you for letting us know what is going on. I hope that someone will read your post who has the ability to help.

Seriously, I know we email,and I have been aware of your problems, but its great to see you back blogging- blogland is full of lovely people who can offer support. Even if you will never meet that person, a few friendly words appearing on your screen when you are down,even from someone you havent met in the flesh can make such a difference.
Hang in there kathy, yuor luck will change soon...

Great to hear from you again, I noticed that you had popped in at my blog. So sorry that things haven't improved for you on the house and health front. I hope that you have contacted the authorities reguarding your builder-he deserves to be caught. Thinking of you and yours, best wishes Pj x
