Have you been drinking enough?
I find if I dont, I feel very much like that :grouphug:

That is a really good point Jinky - I read somewhere once that people get more dehydrated in winter than summer due to not drinking enough - thanks for the reminder

Am starting to get stressed that I don't have a christmas plan... don't get stressed there is ages yet, if you are stressing start making a plan

"QUICK Question - My 6 year old came home with a letter from school yesterday asking for parents permission for them to handle a sparkler tomorrow.... am I being overprotective to think this is a ridiculous idea??? They have said that they will be taking groups of 3 out at a time, but I still think its a bad idea...."

Give the child a sparkler! Send gloves in, to protect the hands. Teachers will be mega-careful, and at 11, children wield their own Bunsen Burner in a class of 29 others.

DS3 was at beavers and all 30 of them had sparklers in the garden with just 2 leaders - gloves and they will be fine. I am sure the teachers are fully aware of which children will require more supervision with this.
