PP - Big Hugs to you - I've been looking out for your post all day. You must feel really rubbish - it does knock the most positive person getting bad news after bad news.

Please take some time out and look after yourself. I read the daily threads every day although I don't post often as I don't feel old style enough and I am always amazed by the energy and positivity in your posts - you do get through a lot every day. Maybe have a relaxing holiday week with your OH and DD - watch some DVds and chill out in the garden.

Lots of love - I'm thinking of you.

((((((((((HUGS)))))))))) P-P, so sorry you are feeling so !!!!!! at the moment and have had bad news! But you are NOT a bad Mum, you just think of the card your DD wrote you after her birthday party. You are a terrific Mum and your DD knows how much you love her.

Thinking of you, hon.

Queenie: Thanks for the well wishing over the Mortgage advisor... didn't quite work out a good day.....

I started really organised, and got to work. Managed to be rubbed up the wrong way by my boss, not really even sure why it bothered me as much as it did at the time now... Proceeded to have the kind of business to my day where I barely remembered to breathe, and then got p*ssed off even more by my Boss. Wrote an email back stating what I thought to be the truth (there have been complaints about my team' performance in work) and got evryone to read it to make sure they agreed/I hadn't said anythign out of order. Got a reply that turned it all on it's head with further blackened my mood, and when I turned round to see rally up the support for the oncoming battle, the other two were acting like they'd never said anything.

I was sooooo angry I wanted to cry. I was amazingly close to handing my notice in and I'm normally really level-headed. God the things a woman's hormones will do to her!!

Anyway, I have an interview for another internal post in a couple of weeks (job only advertised yesterday but I've already had 'coffee' with the desk head and he's all seemed quite good then, but still not counting my chickens and all...). It's the only thing keeping me sain at the mo, but I am now thinking that I'm really fed up with the company... I hope it doesn't taint me in my attitude to applying for this other job too much...

Sorry, off my chest now. Okay, maybe I'm still fuming a little bit.... :mad:

Evening All

Only managed a quick skim of the thread so (((hugs))) to those who need them, especially PP and Ageandjo.

Funny day here, not done much at all except cook a roast dinner - mad in this heat but really wanted one. Am a bit sick of salad. DD had her last day and when we went to pick her up was in floods of tears and had been all day. Its such a nice school - DS has still got another 4 years there - he on the other hand was so happy that he has got 6 weeks off.

Well have a lot to do but an added thing is that I must make a another keepsake box for all the stuff that they have bought home from school - there is tons of it.

Anyway off to bed now but a least I can have a lie in tomm!!

i need to head upstairs this afternoon, but will watch last nights home and away, and have lunch first.

OMG :eek: You mean you actually watch that rubbish. Next thing you'll tell us your a neighbours fan. :rotfl:

PP Sounds like you've had a rough day. It must be hard to keep upbeat all the time. ((((((hugs)))))))

Kaz We are all fair skinned & have had to deal with the heat forever. What I did with the kids on summer holidays & they had 7 weeks off was go places covered. Swimming, skating, movies, some shopping centre's had some shows on, library activities which would be put on.

I also go them involved in craft activities indoors. Even though I am terrible at craft. They enjoyed it. Jigsaw puzzles, board games, dress ups. They would usually go outside 4pm onwards when the sun wasn't as strong to play for a few hours. We would also go for walks after tea. HTH I loved holidays.

Best make a start to the day. Byeeeeeeeee

Pennypincher ..... There is no way you can class yourself as a bad mum. The most important thing for a child is to feel loved - and you do that by the bucketload. On top of that you go out of your way to make everything fun and special for your family.
I'm sure that deep down you know that really, but having such a rough time is making you feel bad and guilty. Rest assured the only one needing extra TLC at the moment is you. Be kind to yourself - and I don't mean pampering stuff, I mean in the way you talk to yourself. Don't be so quick to condemn and criticise yourself - recognise how hard you try and that you always do your best, and that despite everything you still manage to do more than most people.
Lecture over, and just for good measure here's an extra

Ps Twink - thanks for the idea, I'll check it out tomorrow as our museums are free (unfortunately the science one isn't and is 'loads a money'!!!
PPS Hi Aussie Lass - you must've posted as I was typing Ta for the extra ideas. There ain't much I wouldn't do for some air con at the moment... it's so hot indoors too I'm just melting! Finally cooled enough to venture out at 6:30pm. Doesn't help that we have a huge patio that gets the sun all day in the summer - and retains the heat! No doubt I shall be moaning when I finish the fence next week and it then rains ... Should really be in bed, but I'm staying up while the house gets a good 'airing' ie all the windows and doors are open for the first time today, as during the rest of the day it's just blown in hot air.
Next doors cheeky moggy decided to wander in - lucky for her my darling doggy was upstairs at the time!

Morning All,

After last nights pathetic 4.5 hours sleep it seems I am on track to have even LESS sleep tonight :rolleyes:, god bless children who cant sleep in the heat.........why god why .

Despite not having completed my to do list yesterday I have got a remarkably clean house and a fridge full of food to reheat so tomorrow (or is that today?!?) OUGHT TO BE PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD. Oops, capslock got the better of me then. The weather forcast is for 32dc here with rain and thunderstorms though so you can damn near guarantee the house will be a tip by the evening. And DH is bringing home a collegue (sp?) tomorrow too.

Righto, off for an early morning browse,
Love to all, I'll be back later,
Al.
