Sending hugs to you and hoping that you're having a less stressful day..I know the knot in the stomach feeling.
Think booking some time off is a great idea ..you sound like you could do with it.Your health is the most important thing.

Thanks Taxi.

Unfortunately I am still very stressed today. Ds2 still of school so I am still at home. This means that I will be working late again tonight and I am already exhausted.:(

I am sick of juggling everything, kids, work, Dog !! & finances .


Hope you are ok ??

Nudges in to take over a bit of the juggle for a mo to give 40sm time for a cuppa.

I've a lodger sick here - which means yesterday afternoon off to pick her up - and today a looooooooooooooooooong lunch to take her to the docs - shes really poorly so I do feel your pain me dear!

Well done on the finances juggling even if it means that there isn't so much about - you know the exact amounts and that is something isnt it - just sorry they aren't more for you at the mo.

Sorry to hear you're stressed - xxxxxxxxx

Hugs x. Sounds like you need a really good scream and an escape route. Any chance of leaving DH with the kids for a few hours and doing something just for yourself, a tall ask, but giving out all the time is incredibly draining, even when it is totally necessary. I think you need some me time .

I second that you need a bit of you time but am stuffed how I can work out that it will fit in for you.
Can DH do dog walking while you do something for you?

Oh I'm fine thanks ..thanks for asking.

Morning,

Thank you ladies for all your hugs & comments yesterday. Sorry that I was being a bit of a winger . I did however manage to meet all my deadlines for yesterday:j so am a bit more relaxed today.:) Looks like DS2 will still be off school , though,

We have decided to go to Dorset at the weekend to visit MIL , so the break from normality will do me good.

Have a good day.
