You have such an eye for detail, and you are a magpie, all those boxes and piles of colour and glitter!<br /><br />It feels like our house needs constant attention - the big things like the roof and the exterior render need re-doing, but smaller things too. The upstairs shower broke. The downstairs loo need replacing. The plug broke in the sink. It's all so boring and endless! You have my sympathy. xxGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572011697771003818.post-35558545533895731122014-03-02T12:39:36.655+00:002014-03-02T12:39:36.655+00:00I recognise so much in this post ... lately our ho...I recognise so much in this post ... lately our house is far from being a pretty home ... we just don't have enough time or money to do anything about it just now. My mantra has become 'this too will pass', and I sincerely live in hope that it will! Meanwhile, like you, I feel disjointed, and am fighting to keep responsibilities from becoming over whelming and sometimes tears at bay. How lovely though that you have so many treasures to cheer you :)Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572011697771003818.post-83801498131846729622014-03-01T18:28:58.396+00:002014-03-01T18:28:58.396+00:00Yes I think at some point in life the levels of re...Yes I think at some point in life the levels of responsibilities sudden feel like they can swamp you and you often wonder but why oh why, but the good news is all that will happen is that you will most probably end up regularly checking doors and windows to see if they are shut and rechecking things you've just checked about three times. It sounds like your little mouse has found a good house so who could blame him for wanting to stick around. I love your home Heather and those two gorgeous chairs are very lovely indeed. I must also add here that I am just a little in love with the pretty bird tea cards, oh my they are gorgeous. I hope you have a better weekend and that March will bring a little ray of sunshine into your life. xoxoHannapathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973402312667870414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572011697771003818.post-69484612699135850532014-03-01T16:36:18.149+00:002014-03-01T16:36:18.149+00:00Those cigarette and tea cards are lovely!

I had a terrible dream last night too, after having had a similar one last week, and I think it means I need to chill out too. It happens to me every time I let myself get mentally stressed out. There's no real reason to feel this way, I just allow nagging issues to fester and then they take over. I'm sorry it happens to you too but I'm glad you've found ways to decompress and enjoy yourself. Good luck with the boiler. :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572011697771003818.post-12247431134231032532014-02-25T13:34:39.650+00:002014-02-25T13:34:39.650+00:00thanks Joy.
