No more MR until I've tidied the basement". I wonder how long that resolution will last??? It won't be this weekend - Wellington has its annual MR show this weekend [:D]

QUOTE: Originally posted by selector Chip, I applaud Ray's insight and answer. Now, my questions to you are thses: what have you communicated to both your wife and your MiL? Do they have a clue as to your frustration and anxiety? Do you think they might be more overtly supportive if they understood how you are feeling? If you were to ask to sit with them for a few minutes, and explain that you found yourself 'whining' to we fellows on the forum that you were feeling helpless and frustrated, the might listen in a way they have not done before. If you were to tell them how important this subject is to you (look at your post count!), and that you could use some of your forum time to getting your layout produced, they might offer a solution that THEY had chosen, one they owned, and that might be your ticket to layout freedom! Just an offer of support for you...[:)]
