Sazzy you are doing great - I think I probably spend more time on 'dailies' than anything else so you really are a good way there! The lists get eaiser as you go on and don't ever do something that doesn't need it just as it is on the list (ie I don't have any soft furnishing in the living room that need washing this week so I just miss that or replace with similar if I need to)
Hex - hugs and well done for trying to be more positive
Kids just having pudding, I've almost finished washing up and then it will be trumpet time before I evict the kids from the living room so I can finish in there.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

just a quicki before i try get some rest and watch waterloo road,
AJ, Jaimee-leigh included your FIL in her prayers tonight along with toots and LL, and jaimee's prayers are the best
Thanks for all the hugs gals, I did in fact sob. And when walked in from the schol run jaimee legh took one look at it and stood on the front path screaming 'but its protected and its ours' poor love it terribly upset about it all. Jase is going to put up a fence around the remaining section of the tree and our front garden(they left us a little bit, wasnt that nice?) so that if she even thinks of getting anyone else in i will sue the barstewards for trespassing. Isnt much i can do about it concerning the tree bloke atm as it crosses both the boundarys which arent really made aparent, so he wouldnt have known. However i am reporting her to her landlords, they are a local housing as' so hopefully they will do something about it. xxx0 -

Huston, the story about your lil girl and the teachers being so oblivious to the other kids pushing her made me so mad! :mad:
I had a word with the teacher (again) this morning and she said she wasn't on playground duty so didn't know anything about it and never notice the coat (it was filthy). I said I was fuming as it keeps happening, I told her dd is now reluctant to go to school on a morning. I also told her that because it's a regular thing I told dd to push back as she is just getting sent back to play when she reports it.
I took photos and started a diary and if it doesn't improve, I am going to see the headmaster.
Now I have heard that baby steps in the way so, I think, although I have had total failure on the levels, I have in fact take my first baby steps by getting into a good daily routine.
Please don't see it as failing on the levels, the stars are only for fun. By the sounds of it, you are doing really well, I now also have a good night time routine and I love coming down on a morning to no dishes and clean kitchen. If I ever feel the CBA setting in, I read the thread and it motivates me, they are a lovely bunch here. I think it's the best thread ever.fedupandskint wrote: »SunnyZo's- [STRIKE]Make Chilli Jam
Hi, Please share your recipe, my oh is a chilli head!
Not being feeling to grand today, my little boy (3) got me a blanket and was stroking my head to make me feel better he kept telling me he was looking after me, bless him, he then said he was going to play with his lego in the front room (I was laid on settee) but he kept checking my temperature and asking if I was ok. They both in bed so I sat and read through the thread and it's picked me up.
I feel exhasted reading everyone's list.
My downstairs is still spick and span, done a bit in the bedroom, mainly the floordrobe, oh out with his sister so I going to watch a movie, then off for an early night.0 - [STRIKE]Make Chilli Jam
