As long as you know what it is but I couldn't help but think of a stroke too as I have seen its consequences before. _pale_

Please do not worry. Limbs are still in use etc, their just "heavy" and numbish. If anything gets worse I will take action.
If I think that I cannot cope with DGD I will get her Mum over. (get Biggest of Mooloo to bring her for me).:D

Hello Mooloo, I'm sorry I haven't posted for a while, but I've been doing my own battle with Drs and Social services (On behalf of an elderly neighbour in my case however). I hope that you are feeling better now and that you and DGD have a lovely weekend with lots of rest.
Getting everyone to sign to say what they have borrowed sounds like a very good idea. Would separate books/pieces of paper be a good idea? Just so they can't accuse you of giving more to one of their siblings and emotionally blackmailing you into helping them. Sorry if that sounds bad, but I just don't want it backfiring on you. I'm fighting my own Black Dog at the moment so am thinking of negatives.
I find that singing at the top of my voice helps improve my mood, if not the one's of everyone around me LOL. Hubby has been known to drag me out the wardrobe, (long story, but it's my safe place when I'm at my worse), and put on Singalong Sound of Music and bully me into singing along. It might be worth a try and your DGD could join in.
Take care xxxx

Thats a good idea. Seperate places for them to sign.

Re the singing, I think that I would empty the village! DGD always tells me to stop singing granny!! :rotfl:

I hope that things will get better for you. We must have our own lights at the end of the tunnel to look forward too.
I know that usually there is something good that happens just when I am at the bottom of the pit I decend into!.
Its a Roller coaster ride of emotions, feelings, wellness, illness and the rest. Stress is the biggest problem I have. Thats caused by the family bieng so useless at everything.!
I can dream that it will all settle down some day.!

I just had a phone call from DS, who was concerned when twin1 told him I was unwell, etc.
I have had to promise that if I get any worse I will ring them!. (Not sure what they will do 8 miles away, and with no transport!). But I even got an I love you Mum out of him! No grunts! That makes a change.

I am sure I will be fine. Just take it easy. When DGD gets to bed later I am sure I will also get an early night, and plenty of rest.

DGD is ethralled with the video of the Secret Garden at the moment. Suprised about that one. But its a change from watching Jungle Book thats for sure.

Morning All,
I am here. I havent got any worse. Although I am not sure if i am any better either! Time will tell as the day goes on.
I have been awake since 6am. Still not dressed though! Just finished my second cup of tea. Written a lot in my diary. Trying to get myself motivated.
Its difficult when the plans keep changing.
I am so tired.
DGD is marching to the Elephants in the Jungle Book! Afraid I am relying on the TV a bit to entertain her, as I am not quite all there.
Managed to lift her out of the bed, but remembered to put her straight down and make her walk down the stairs, holding hands. She usually wants to be carried, and she is too big now!.
We are trying very hard with the potty training. She seems to be accepting that there is no bottle anymore.
So she is in her maccapakka knickers! On orders to remember to use the potty please!

We have no plans to go anywhere today. We were going to go to see My BF, but I do not feel well enough to drive so far, after such a hectic week of driving. Also he will be watching the football, just as its DGD time for bed etc. If the friends are all going to gather together to watch it, as they did last time around, then I will be out of place anyway. (Not deliberately, just the same as all women who do not really like football!).

Right I will not dwell on that. I will just have to get on with the weekend on our own. It was my choice after all.

Time for a shower I think! See if I can get some heat on my shoulder/neck at the same time.

My Microwave has given up the ghost. Typically 1 month out of the guarantee!. So I cannot easily heat up my heatpads without putting them in the oven, and thats just too expensive to do really. Will have to dig out the hotwater bottle instead. Got one somewhere that my Mum gave me in the winter.
Will have to think about the evening meal so there is time to defrost things, and to cook them.
I have managed to finish all of twin2's washing that i brought back the other day, and am now on my own washing.
But still need to muster up the energy to hang the last wash up. (I hang it on hangers on a pole in my utility area, but its difficult to get my arms up there at times!, and today is one of those times.). Perhaps I will be able to hang it on the line in the garden when I have had my shower.
so I am off to see if I can work miracles with a jet of hot water!.

Oh Jo4, sorry that you were worried.
I am coping. I am sure that all that is wrong is that I over did it through the week.
I admit I dont feel very well, and could not get behind the steering wheel today. (If I could I would have gone and got twin1 to help with her daughter, and DS to do the garden.!). But it will have to wait until tomorrow.

DGD and I have been in the front room most of the day. Both of us have been to sleep upstairs for about an hour and a half, and so are now having a late lunch.
Well I am having Tea and toast, and she has had a paste sandwich, and a Fruitbar and orange!. Bit sticky mess there!
The Secret Garden is her chosen video today.
I will have to search for some more video's in the charity shops when i am next close to them, as I am fed up of the same 3 or 4 that she is watching.!

I have to admit to myself that today, I am not going to achieve very much.
I notice that the sun is coming and going, so gather its quite windy out there.
maybe we will potter outside a little later on. But I will have to make sure my balance is ok first as the garden is on a slope.:D

I know about the video thing Mooloo. I remember watching 9 hours of Bagpuss a day for a week at one point.
I think I have some Disney videos and DVDs hiding somewhere from when my monsters were younger. Do you have a DVD player on your main tv? As I'd be happy to dig them out and post them if it would entertain DGD without you suffering Jungle Book over exposure. Or another idea is that I am in Leicester as well and happy to meet up with someone and pass them on. Just pm me if you are interested. Take care

Hello, I have also had an offer of a few video's from Oystercatcher.
We are just working out how on earth to get them, I think she may be in Leicester too!.

I apparantly do have a DVD player lurking under the table, but its not connected at the moment. Missing hand set with all of the moves. But DS tells me it is useable without. I will have to investigate, and see if it does.

DGD is driving me nuts at the moment. But I suppose that it was my feeling Yuk that has made it seem worse. We didnt go out anywhere either so its been a very long day.

Thanks for your kind offer, I will see what happens with Oystercatcher and get back intouch with you.
Thanks again,
Mooloo

I'm not in Leicester, I just go there to see the Specialist Dr that Molly see's as well, I think we mentioned a while back that our paths might cross there but I don't think they will at the moment.
TBH I don't want to cart a huge box of videos on the train there. Postman can do the hard work!!

Hopefully a big box will get posted off early next week.

Toddlers are hard work when you're not feeling your best.
