    Might try the massage thingy... should if nothing else be fun for me! :rotfl:
    Futon is gone! Hooray!!! Very nice people came and picked it up spot on time and now I'm just waiting for Alex to do a huge poop before trying to put her down for a nap - she's the grinch from hell right now! She had a huge appetite last night - twice what she normally has in one sitting (normally about 120ml to 150ml - last night in the hour before bed she downed (and kept down!) 300ml! :eek: ) and none of it has appeared in the poop department yet... LOADS of big widdles though :D
    I just need a break from the winging cry at the moment - but I know it's because she's due a poop (my life is planned round poops! OMG!!! Shoot me now!)...

    Have managed to put the beetroot icecubes in a box in the freezer and put some sweet potato ones in to freeze - later I'll do some carrot ones :)
    Hubby wants roast chicken tonight so that's out defrosting. He's away tomorrow night as he'll be at the head office 2 hours away 2 nights runnign as they are putting together a proposal and it seemed stupid to spend 8 hours travelling in 2 days. Meaning little/no sleep especially if madam is a toad at night as he then has to get up early and won't get in till 8-9pm either... But he can sodding well get up and deal with her tonight!

    Oh shucks - thought i was onto a winner there - grinch stopped crying for 30 seconds and looked asleep... bummer!

    Doesn't feel like it. Got to do something though, can't carry on like this. Hopefully if I can get a childminder sorted, then I can try and get therapy scheduled around that. I might have to wait a while to get the right time appointment, but in the meantime I'll learn to drive. Wish I had friends or family who could help out, I don't like the thought of leaving him with someone who I don't know enough about. I think I'll be paying for three hours, but hopefully will only need 90 minutes or so. I'd much rather just take him with me. Now, to draft a letter to the Pyschiatrist, asking for the referal and details of when appointments would be so I can try and schedule it all okay.

    Sending you some energy dust!

    Thankyou :) Sending you "everything falling into place" dust back :) Are you gonna be okay with posting the letter? We can send good vibes for making that step too if needs be :D Remember, you're awesome - we think it and so does Toby xxx

    Don't see why not :) But will you even see your shoes? Well, not you cos you might not be able to see by your bump by that time, but everyone else, I mean! Could probably get away with flipflops if they're comfier with it being so long :D

    Will get letter posted tomorrow when I go for coffee. Anxiety isn't too bad at the moment, its just the black, black thoughts. I hate how this cycles, I'm in the worst phase now.

    Why is it that if you buy Kelloggs Special K red berries you get a few berries in the bottom of the pack - but if you buy the Harvestmoon cheapie ones from Aldi you get TONNES of berries? I know what I'm buying from now on! And it don't have a K in it!

    You dont have to convince me, we are Aldi shoppers 95% of the time... they used to do an apple version which made lovely flapjack but dont see it in there anymore. We shopped in Mr T's on Saturday as only needed a few bits with OH on course this week and spent just as much as when I go to Aldi!!

    Maz - it's only because until now I've had a 25min+ drive to nearest Aldi that I haven't shopped there - now a new one has opened this side of Oxford so about 10-15 mins away on the dual carriageway - easy peasy! If they'd be kind enough to open a Lidl too I'd be a happy bunny! LOL
    Love their cheap veg deals too! great for mushing for baby food!
