By the afternoon I'd got a grip again and calmed down. Think I was just tired. I seem to suffer from some Martyr syndrome where I do everything myself,wont ask for help then moan when it ges too much! I'm my own harshest critic and worst enemy!
Nikki, I wouldnt get a cleaner. I may appear well off to you,and I'm certainly not complaining but we started out with a mortgage age 18and 19(we only did this cos both of us had problems at home and needed somewhere to live, houses were still fairly cheap then), in a tiny 1 bed place in which we had our first child(unplanned). We had a series of ancient old bangers, no cash, never went out or had holidays for years and years. In the mid nineties I was trying to feed us on £40 per week, and we had two kids then. I never minded, we just got on with it and worked and worked.
I have done most mundane, menial jobs you can think of to bring extra money in. The last 5 years my husband business took off, so we are doing ok now, though I never take anything for granted, it could all change tomorrow. I would do it all again the same.

The sacrifice for that is that he is at work from 7am till 8pm 6 days a week. So he's not around much.
There's nothing wrong with having a cleaner but it doesnt sit well with me to have someone come and do something that I'm perfectly capable of doing myself. It would feel lazy and indulgent to me.
Warm regards
Jo
