Your DH needs to make some decisions and take some action. Would it make a difference if you said to him that he needs to start the wall now or DSD doesn't come out? That way even if it does take 6 months you only have 3 months of living in a construction zone. Plus you could tell DSD that that is the case and maybe see if late Jan would be ok and that way it's only 2 months?
Yes Lulu, the thing is last time I did most of the parenting anyway cos DP is a shiftworker so is only home in the evenings one week out of two. And barely here on the weekends because he's working. And you know what they say about if the mummy isn't happy then the rest of the family ain't happy. Agree about the pub.
Nai - the six month thing is really optimistic. That's if it all went swimmingly which it isn't at the moment. We've had everyone give us the runaround. So now we have to go back to square one and get an engineer and possibly a geological report ($5K for that alone) done and then get council approvals.
And I've already been unhappy in this house for so, so long. So I couldn't take another three months quite frankly.
I don't know what prompted it but DP has done a complete 180 degree turnaround in under 24 hours and has told DSD that she can't come until renos are done. I can change my Mood thingy from stressed to something else now.
PHEWEEEEEE.
Feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Oh bloody hell, yet another twist and turn in the saga. DP received an email from DSD's mom this morning saying she couldn't cope blah blah blah and DSD HAS to come in December.
Then he received an email from DSD forwarding an ad advertising her mom's new business which is providing massage and I quote, "not the full service ... but oh so close!"
