Let down again

I was supposed to be having family come down and help me move a load of my friends stuff out of the house an into a storage unit ready for the electrician to come and do a load of work thats been waiting for a year and a half, its been cancelled due to various illnesses 3 times and now it looks like a 4th as everyones ill including my step son who has the trailer that was going to move all furniture.

I know its no ones fault, again, but I'm so fed up and exhausted, I've been busting a gut for the last 6 weeks getting everything ready and now it's all systems stop instead of go. 

It just feels like another one of those times when I feel that theres no point in asking anyone to do anything as I will be let down at the last minute, now I've got to try and cancel the storage unit and hope I can get my money back £150. I really do feel so fed up and let down, I so wanted all this work done so as I can get on with other things like decorating, now I'm physically and mentally stuck. I don't know whether to cry  or bang my head against the wall.

  • I don't know whether to cry  or bang my head against the wall.

    Neither! Do what you do at the TV - shout at the room about annoying relatives, unexpected illness and life's slings and arrows. Then take a deep breath and begin your favourite recovery method.

    Mine usually involves eating and/or drinking something delicious, going in the garden or going online and buying something small from my Amazon wish list [I always have a lot of these, which is handy if you have unexpected money left after bills and food shopping]. I hope by the time you come back online that a solution has come about. And I wonder why your family always leave it to you to sort things out? You must have a reputation for getting things done!
