    Hello everyone.

    Massive hugs again Lil_me
    Chunky - you are so NOT a bad mother!!!!! I remember going through the same feelings of guilt when my DS went to nursery earlier than DS had. I think we'll always have some feelings of guilt. At the moment mine is that I don't spend enough quality time with my children...there's always something. Get it booked!
    Pigpen - hugs to you...the thought of so many poorlie sickies makes me:eek: !!
    Pink fairy - sorry you're still ill but on the plus side you get to spend more time with us!!!:rotfl: I'm glad you sorted out your computer problems.
    Everyone else - hugs and :wave: to you all.

    I'm doing a slow s/s all day until the children and hubby come home:j . Having a little halloween party tonight and then an early night. Poppy's stop limping.

    I've gone through all the christmas presents i've bought and i'm done apart from the hamper for my mum and dad but i'll just buy a few bits a week for that.

    Ooooooh yes.....I'm going to see Take That next year :rotfl: :T . Speak later xx

    What do ya think am i a bad mummy? I have decided to put little gremlin in a nursery for a couple of mornings a week. I need a break but feel really really guilty now and i haven't even enrolled him just thought about it! With OH working away, a job, 4 kids and the house to sort i think i now have to admit i am stuggling a little and don't want it to get too far so i am seeing this as being responsible and taking charge, but am i? Oh god knows what to do. I can't talk to my mum cos she will just say yes good idea, purely as it means i won't call on her for anything!!!

    I better pull myself together i have a very busy day today!!

    Happy flying ladies xx

    :wave:

    Right, first of all you are not a bad mother AT ALL!!! Kids are great and being there for them is really important, but you also need you time or you will wear out and be useless for them and yourself...

    Your gremlin will love playschool and it will give you some much needed time to do whatever you want... be it sitting down and having a coffee or catching up on something, you sound like you need it and you def deserve it so stop beating yourself up... on this occasion your mum is dead right!

    Sorry to sound so naggy, but hope you don't stress too much about it... that's what playschools are for. :)

    It was never an option - he has been single at the same time as me on two occasions and never showed an interest...but at least I have a hunk to chat to whenever ourpaths cross...sadly not often enough;)

    Then just take the plunge and ask him - just for a coffee or something, you never know, and even if nothing comes of it and you just stay friends, you can never have enough of those... then your paths may cross more often... (plus we would all be really jealous... :D )
