  • :mad: Having a bad day, had to stay at home with the boys today as my MIL couldn't get through the snow to have them.

    I HATE being in this mood, I have shouted at the boys today I HATE myself for that. My house still looks like a bombs been dropped even though I thought today I would get going on some things.

    TODAY IS A BAD DAY

    *EDIT* I forgot to say THANKS to everyone for your kind words, part of my condition is being controlled by my thoughts and although sometimes I *know* things are not true I am unable to "unthink" them and they take over! I am working on this an have apparently made improvements. Still a long way to go me thinks.

  • Thank you Katie! I am another who always loves to see your posts and you should feel proud as you get so much done!

    Congratulations on winning those two prizes, I have been entering loads of competitions recently but no wins yet! booo! I have entered for those slippers even though they are not my usual style!

    I have been told to break things down and do small tasks and realising my achievement with each little task, but I soon get overwhelmed and then give up.

    Ahhh well tomorrows another day, start over.

    Well all this talk of doughnuts and fondant icing is just my bag! :D

    Pleased to share I have sorted out repayments on my overpaid Housing Benefit and Council Tax. I called the council today, I was really worried about the Council Tax but they said as long as it was repaid over the next 12 months it was okay. I still have an Income Support overpayment to sort out but not too worried about that one as I can afford a small amount and be able to pay it off before a year.

    I was really stressed earlier, I had dinner planned then a packet went AWOL (I suspect DD2 'posted' it out of the trolley when we were shopping yesterday:rolleyes: as I know I picked it up!) so had to make the 'long' version. I usually cook stuff myself but today I'd planned to use up some stuff in the cupboards/fridge so it ended up taking about an hour and a half instead of not very long, of course both DDs are magnetically drawn to the kitchen when I'm cooking so I was all frazzled, DD2 is going through a hitting/poking/pinching phase so had DD1 coming in every 5 mins complaining and I too shouted at both of them. Felt awful.

    Luckily OH got home from work and has this way of just picking up the slack by doing fun stuff with them. Like yesterday after he walked in and put his bag down, he took them both out on the front and played with them in the snow whilst I made dinner, then today I'd had a box of organic baby stuff delivered which was sat empty bar the packaging chips, so we all ended up throwing them everywhere all over the living room, sticking them to each other and silly stuff like that. If it were me on my own I'd NEVER do that - too uptight about making a mess! - but somehow OH makes it feel like it doesn't matter - sometimes I wish I were more like that!
