    Yes she goes FT after half term.... it's cos she's an ickle girl, only just turned 4 so they keep them on mornings for a while, but 6 weeks is a nightmare when you have to juggle work and school, had to get a childminder to collect her from school :(

    Hello!

    I've been at home today but I didn't log on because I knew if I did I wouldn't get a thing done.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    :mad: Why are some people so bloody inconsiderate...grrrrrrrrrrrr.

    DH's friend wanted him to go out tonight for a few beers - he said he couldn't go as he's in too much pain, having huge spasms (which he's really self concious about) and can't walk to the pub.....so instead he invited his friend round here (I don't get on with said friend so offered to hide upstairs for the evening) Was supposed to arrive at 7 so we had dinner early, got all tidied up......5 to 8 he calls, doesn't want to come here wants to go to the pub so if DH can't be bothered then he'll go with other friends....

    I want to slap him....all he's done in the past few weeks is try and borrow money and call when he wants something. DH really could have done with a change from talking to me tonight, he's missing the social side of work and could have done with chatting to a mate.......

    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..

    And breatheeeeee.
