I do actually have loads of soup in the freezer
I really don't have a valid excuse for not getting anything I will this evening though. I think I need someone to keep in my ear about it :rotfl: Force feeding me :rotfl:
I still feel really rough smalls are finally fed, we've read books and they're in the bath. I feel awful like I'm not making enough effort with them “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Of course you are. You do an enormous amount with your little ones. Nothing at all to feel guilty about. In fact, you're to be congratulated. Now promise me you'll go have something to eat and start taking care of yourself - for their sakes if nothing else. xxHave adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.0

Hi WF, I found you again only a few days ago, but been too busy to post.
The way I see it, you have fed your children, spent time with them reading books and they are bathing. Please don't feel that this is not enough... there are many children (in even just this country) who won't be getting anything like this tonight... all whilst not feeling tip-top yourself! You are amazing!!
And I echo "being kind to yourself" - we are not designed to run on nothing... well, I'm not especially! lol

I know But I feel bad saying no. But then the Xmas dinner (£2.50) We have the Christmas Fayre which will no doubt cost. Non uniform day Friday £1, They will all have a nativity I'll need to buy a ticket for I can't miss them and I can't go to one and not the others They will do the pantomime it's a fortune! Especially now there's three of them needing it “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
