    Morning!

    The biggest spider ever has taken up residence in my garden, and has built a web over the front of my house......yeeeuch!!!

    A very nice friend of mine offered to come and move it for me! :D So sweet and gentlemanly....what a hero....siggghhhhhhhhh! :o

    Ryan's birthday today. He has got a camera, a metal detector, a box set of dinosaur DVDs, some lego, and a game for his DS. He is really happy, and has gone to school without a fuss this morning. I'm really proud of him. :A

    Seems verrrrrry quiet with just me and Natasha here!

    Thanks :)

    It was an odd weekend, I was in a very unhappy frame of mind to be honest, and was glad to have Bunny for company. Think I would have been in a right old state if I'd spent the weekend alone as originally planned.

    Feeling much more positive now though. Feel like I came close to slipping back into depression, and I don't ever want to go back there, so I am tackling it head on today.

    :grouphug: Good that you feel better today and that you had the lovely Bunny to keep you company at the weekend.

    Glad you had a good weekend with Bunster! Were you both Woo woo'd!?!

    And re the Darkness, good on yer for spotting it and being proactive before it got hold... that's a real step forward in dealing with it longer term......

    Maz - I'm impressed!

    Snags, glad you had a better weekend than you'd planned. It's good that you've recognised the depression signs early and know how to deal with it. And Happy Birthday Ryan!

    Good luck to all the school type people! And well done Bea.

    My cold and cough have just about gone, yay! Which means I can go to the dentist after all, so I feel bad for having garlic bread last night. Should be book club tonight but I'm not feeling up to it, and I definitely wont after having fillings - anaesthetic always makes the ME worse, although I'm going to ask for one without adrenaline to see if that helps. I'd rather not have any at all, but apparantly one of the fillings is so deep I'll have to.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    No, had a couple of glasses of wine, sat on her sofa, watched X Factor, stressed about the kids and moaned about how bad my asthma was, then went to bed....poor Bunny....she's a star for putting up with me (:kiss:).

    I did take the kids to Telford Town Park while I was down there though, which is a brilliant place. Must remember to upload photos today.

    I think my little dark moment was caused by a combination of Ryan having been very aggressive in the run up to the beginning of the school term, Natasha being relentlessly hard work (she's two...it's her job...), feeling tired because I haven't had a break, pmt, feeling sad about things not being how I would like with Mr Sunday, bad asthma, putting a few pounds back on, having no money, Stu being a !!!!!!, and generally feeling like life was spiralling out of control.

    Today I have decided to just take control of a couple of little areas, so I am doing housework, finishing the decorating (with the help of the 'rents, who are coming over at lunchtime), and have spoken to Stu, who seems to be making an effort, and even offered to come and put the kids to bed last night instead of going to see his girlfriend (I declined of course, but was touched that he had offered, and told him so).
