    hi everyone!
    Baby Ragz is now 6 weeks old and through the difficult phase so I'm hoping to be able to get aback into flying briefly before we move (again) next month (when I'll be internet free for a few weeks arrghh!!)

    Will be doing as much as possible... DH is at home today and I always get more done when he's around. Then off to look at a house later which I have a good feeling about...

    my dd2 is very depressed and i tried to take her on holiday to cheer her up it was the worse thing i could do cos she sort of centred on it as when she came back she would be better and she would have a great time etc etc
    she didnt it was an anticlimax and so had the opposite to the desired effect
    she expected to have a great time but didnt as the depression was so deep
    spend the money that you would have spent on something like revamping her room..it would be more worthwhile in the long run
    focus on tiny steps... a dvd and takeaway together
    a walk in the sunshine
    a home pamper session

    try not to overwhelm her with things either...and dont be disheartened yourself if she doesnt respond as you would like her to.

    i havent caught up with all your posts etc just noticed this particular one

    feel free to pm me as my daughter is just seeing the light at the end of a long tunnel
    or if you just want someone to chat too

    Hugs!! xx

    What they said. A bit at a time, walks and sun. Better than stressing yourself finding dosh for a holiday.

    Pampering: Don't forget local hairdressers and beauty colleges need models, especially at this time of year. Try and find a college that does aromatherapy and massage. The students always seem to be well supervised (in my experience, your results may vary) so it may be worth giving it a go. :D

    Just a quick hello! I'm defintely off list this week - today I'm spring cleaning the kitchen. I've started in one corner and am literally scrubbing inch by inch! Window, tiles, cupboards.....everything. Throwing loads out and reorganising what's left. Don't think DH will be too pleased when he comes home and tries to cook something! That'll almost make it worth it!

    Hugs to all xx
