Had a mad day. Done no flying and no decorating, was hardly in the house:-
School run, DD2 swimming, friends house, school meeting, school run, another friends, football, and now babysitting. Shattered!

Had meeting with SENCO. She also thinks there are issues. Nothing major, wont need a statement or anything. Not sure how I feel.
Told DH , he is a really bad way. We need to talk but I am out babysitting. Really hope he doesnt want to talk when I get home it will be late and I will just want to go to bed. Could go on at great length but have been moaning a lot on here lately sorry.

You feel like you are on the beginning of a long and difficult road which will give your son the best chance possible of having a successful school career.. it is a long and arduous road with many pitfalls but is so very worth it!

If any of us can help with DH you only have to ask.. or just someone you can offload to.. big hugs for you all xx

lil_me I am delighted for you and Ds that he had a good day - long may it continue. what do the beasties eat? I would love to write a book but dont know where to start and on what subject - dont think i am in soappie's league having read the articles she has written for the web. I am like you re the arm - mine was swolen and tender for nearly 2 weeks I am afraid to say - hope yours goes away quicker - i have since been told i could have taken piriton for the swelling and redness and parrots would have helped the pain - now they tell me!!!! The kitchen is a good choice as you spend a lot of time there and now that you have been there a little while you will be beginning to know what works best where IYSWIM. Hope the OT meeting goes ok today.

embb a big squishy hug for you petal - sometimes all the little things become a huge thing and get the better of you - BABYSTEPS!!!!! deal with the most pressing things first - one at a time!!!!! and then move on - stop tryig to do tooo much at once - as for you and OH why dont you both make a diary entry to have time together and stick to it?

Hello, thanks for your messages y'day especially Lady Liberty for your text messages and for letting everyone know how i was doing. Had a very bad day yesterday but feeling much more positive today.

I really need to do some flying, especially washing up as we have run out of everything! Am going to watch The Restaurant from last night too, love that show.

Thanks L-L - let us know how you get on - and enjoy the pimping of your ride! And don't think of it as an enemy. I know when my Dad got to a certain point of his illness and couldn't get out and about without the aid of some wheels, he found it, once he got over the initial pride bit, a liberating experience.

I have very fond memories of being out with him one day when we were at the top of a steep road. He just freewheeled down that hill like there was no tomorrow and left me standing. I can still picture him now - it was like the rebellious streak came out in him and I smile as I remember it

LOL, that's funny! That reminds me of a rather gory picture my sister once drew of my nan freewheeling down a hill with swords coming out of the wheels cutting people's legs off. I think she drew it after a morning of people not moving out of the way as we tried to push my nan round a town in France. It's a very funny picture!

Hugs Sunnyzo, hope your cold is better soon. Keep strong about your ex, he’s not worth it. Try to remember how good you felt last week about having time to be you and not have to worry about someone else xx

Rach hope your DH passes his exam

Hugs Vanilla hope it gets sorted. I agree with what the others said, maybe there is another guy with the same name? DNA could be the way to go

Hugs Carlsberggal xx

AnW’s, why are you going to be murdered by your boss? Hope everythings ok!

Mummyslittleboy well done on what you have achieved this week! You are doing well

Tooch we have a Honda Accord

Hugs FFP, hope you feel better soon xx

Hugs Danni, hope your pain goes away soon

Lady Liberty I love Diva’s idea of pimping your ride, it sounds so good!

Carol hope your cold goes soon

Hugs Nikki

Triker sorry to hear about the car, hope everyone is ok

Hi RebekahR how are you?

FFP well done on your debts, that’s good news

Sazzy well done on your hard work! Glad the thread is helping so much

Soappie thanks for thinking of me

Likklegibbon glad to hear you have got a job even if it’s not what you originally wanted

Hugs Sammiel, that sounds exhausting

Hugs Embb, even when you don’t have anything in particular to feel down about the little things can build up and feel like too much. Don’t be too hard on yourself, but do try to focus on the positives xx

Sorry for such a long post!
