Sorry to hear of your troubles, dear. It can be frustrating. I'm glad it isn't due to health issues...everything else can get fixed. Waiting till you come back, dear. Hugs

Hope you get the kitchen sorted out soon I am sure there is a poem or two that will be inspired by your disaster with the plumbing - the main thing Laura is you are OK - the title of the blog made me thing you had health issues - I'm sure its stressful at the moment but soon you will have a brand new kitchen:-) hugs Jan xx

Good point, Ian, and Tom, too! I'm not sleeping much at the moment, so can't even think straight, but will look on tapping into my frustrations for a poem there...

Use the turmoil, feel the hurt, the frustration, dig deep and write in blood,...you are unsung, ...perhaps this is the catalyst for change, too many skate over true feelings and hide behind dissolvable emotions, this is your opportunity to write of rage....lol....man up Laura..X Ian
