Nothing in particular. I am finding things very difficult at the moment . My DS1 ( mildly autistic) is causing me a lot of stress at the moment. I have been in tears at the school 3 times since they have gone back to school ( 4 weeks I think) and am often crying on the way to work. I don't really get any "head space " at home with 3 little boys constantly battling over something.

Mrs BHB & I know exactly where you are coming from 40SM.

Virtual hugs from both of us

Hello everyone

Really feel for you 40SM and hope you start to feel better soon. Not much Krap at saying the right things as regards these sort of emotions just like you to know I am thinking of you

Hope everyone in my favorite gang on the t'internet is doing OK.

The only way I will watch X- Factor is when them god awful twins are voted off. Ruined it for me this year and will only watch again when they have gone. Being tight and a good DFW wont phone to vote as it costs too much

Cant make AF Monday today but hope you all do really well and Fay can shower you all with stars

40Sm - do you have a 'family friends or a local carers group' that can help you?

Another mum has befriended me. Her 8 yr old son has aspergers and she " recognised" the stress in me. She has been great at giving me advice & support & just listening to me ranting. She has it far worse than me and she has 4 kids.

Thanks BHB & Mrs BHB.

It is hard isn't it ? I think your little boy is of a similar age to mine ( DS1 is 9). He is a lovely little boy but worries about everything and can be quite difficult to control when he " goes off on one". I worry about him getting older.

Thank you all for your kind wishes. I think my body is now telling me that I need to slow down a bit.

Just to came to say hello!

Rushing off to do some dogwalking. Martin is in Countdown as guest. How do I know? Because I am addicted to the numers games and watch it when ever I can.

Will be joining you lot for AF Monday while working dutifully with my spreadsheets so will catch up later...

Just been pointed here by a very helpful person, so -
Can I please join you? I have now got to the point where I have to cut back on it, as the 5 bottles of wine a week can't be afforded. So, I have set a goal - 2 bottles of wine a week, which I will consume at the weekend. I will buy it on a Friday and then wont be tempted by it. I have the problem that if it is there, in the house, I will drink it. So here's to my first week of cutting back, and saving money at the same time. xx

Welcome to the madhouse Scbye.
You have come to the right place.
Good luck with cutting down your alcohol intake.

Lots of help and advice on here and if you want to set yourself any targets Fay is doing the scoring this month so just give her a wave.

Love Mollypollyxxxx
