How do you stay sane when ms is wrecking your life?

Thanks for all that hun, i am just so down right now living with my partner who is hard work, to do just anything. i have to ask over and over again to get things done. i dont want to go away with him lol.

I would take a carer but has to be someone I know. I was going with my bestie, but she is getting married now instead lol.

I think I could get somone to take me to the seaside, and i am sure i would be ok just depressed a bit at the moment. xx

Hi,

Failing a trip to the seaside, have a little look at the sea from the Bognor Regis webcam: Bognor Regis Webcam - Official Live webcam of Bognor Regis Beach or try the under water cams from the Monterey Bay Aquarium: http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/animals-and-experiences/live-web-cams/open-sea-cam they’re brilliant. And it’s like going there.

Tip - for husbands/partners/living in boyfriends/relatives who say they are going to do something and don’t/ -

Wait till they are sat quietly watching the tele or something and tell them that you have a man coming on Tuesday to give you a price for that job you need doing, it might be a bit expensive but it’s been waiting a long time and needs doing before the winter. Then the place will be washed with a gentle hush before they (husbands mostly sorry husbands) clank and clunk and all of a sudden go into the shed, brush off and charge the drill that has been there gathering spiders for two years, start organising nails and things, then reappear saying ‘I’ll do that, no need to pay for anything to be done!!’

This is the trick, then don’t agree because they can be a bit sneaky and not put a date, day or year on the event, so you can say ‘Oh lovely, well I’ll phone him Monday evening if the job has been done to say not to bother’.

Then the really trixy ones will say, ‘Er who have you spoken to’ and you must not give any details away especially as it is probably fictional, but say ‘Oh I’ve got a piece of paper somewhere’ and absolutely nothing else.

When my son offers to do something for me, I always say ‘Oh, I’ll just fetch my five year diary’. He has no sense of humour!
