  • Evening all x

    I'm tired and my feet hurt, but if I will spend 6 hours walking round the christmas market and in Debenhams then I've only myself to blame :rolleyes:. However I have finished my dad, both brothers, most of DH and part of my mums presents off so all in all a good trip. I got Daniel some gorgeous mittens off the market made out of the same marterial as moccasins :D
    I ate far too much carp as well, I had a coconut macaroon, 6 marshmallows (they got squashed so was only fair that I eat them all :rotfl:), some cheese, a tuna crunch sandwich and a starbucks gingebread latte - hmm now I sound like a heifer, that's ok though as I know I am but I enjoyed it and I don't care:rotfl:

    (Hugs) to Feelie and AM, hope you are ok ladies xx

  • Mfd - I just didn't manage to get to the GP. Then I ended up up here and the doctor here will only prescribe about 4 days worth and I'm not up to going that often. Normal GP only gives 10 to 14 days worth and I struggle to get there. Will mention that at December appointment. Don't know when I'm home, 21st or 28th. Appointment on 7th or thereabouts. Sorry for all this whinging and moaning, others' have got things so much worse. It feels like it gets harder as he gets older. I could deal with sitting and cuddling him all day. Now its a constant circle of getting finers out of the video, hands off wires, paper out of mouth. So many bumped heads, banged chins. Tantrum after having the remote taken away. He doesn't laugh like he used to

    question .. (just coz its getting to me) ... you know what your flat broke and doing what you can to get by you talk to your friends about how things are tight ...... then they talk about how broke they are and can they not get you a xmas present just make a chocolate slab (after id given the idea) when you know they blow there money and still have plenty to get them by ... does it make you angry inside? x

    (((Hugs))) Feelie, and hang in there. The fact that you worry about doing a good job shows what an amazing, careful Mum you are. And as for doing things wrong and being judged, well if you'd have heard the tuts at me this afternoon, :o, not gonna go in the playground in the morning, the perfect mothers won't want to talk to me!!! :mad: In other words, we all mess up (being human and all that). XXX :A
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

  • Oh !!! on the subject of possible bad parenting ...... I was at B & Q today and parked next to a car which had a baby no older than Dylan in it asleep on his own, I went in, bought a couple of things and when I came out he was still on his own !!! Now, I have no problem running in to pay petrol or something , but a trip round B & Q !!!! Thats ridiculous !!!
