brizzledfw

Hi all

Just a quick post from me as lots to do before tomorrow:

Today I:

- had a LSD..Just £7 on tea and cakes for friends and DDs in the park. Got a loaf of bread in exchange as friends came over for brunch so pretty good all round
- washing and line drying..weather changeable so didn't risk the garden
- managed to grab 2 eggs from underneath broody hen as she came out to feed this morning but she's back on nest again this afternoon darn it
-wrapped pressies for DD1 (birthday tomorrow)

And still to do:

- make DDs packed lunches..oh joy..might find some scraps hidden under the breadbin I guess!
- planning to look over comps and freebies boards this evening

So sorry to hear that various people are having a pretty carp day...hugs to Determined and Saving.

• one load of washing done
• put dry washing away not dry enough yet
• phone mum for a moan and moral support using free landline done

Im feeling today. I just have no energy and feel like the majority of my week is work, getting ready for work, or recovering from work. I had a sleep today for 2 hrs and now its as much as I can do to keep my eyes open :( I have stuff I need to do here, I dont feel that I am achieving much. I know I am too hard on my self and expect me to do it all.....just wish I could get things to slot in to place so I can shake this

Sorry, just needed to get that off my chest

Cleosmum you sound like me and I have post natal depression (2 1/2 yrs on from giving birth) controlled by citalopram! I was tired all the time but waking at 3am and not going back to sleep. Also kept forgetting to eat, once went from Sunday lunch time til Wed lunch time without eating and not realising!!! Now I am not fixed but level headed (most of the time, lol) and don't feel like that all the time anymore.

(((((((((hugs)))))))))

determined_new_ms

ah Cleosmum {{{{hugs}}}} go have a bath, glass of wine and get ur oh to do the cooking/cleaning tonight. Any chores that need to be done will still be there tomorrow x

Cleosmum

(((hugs))) depression is nasty, PND is also unfair I had it with DS1 and it was horrid. I recently recovered from depression through workplace bullying and I never want to suffer with it again. I need to try and find my new routine, Im sure I will, but in the meantime I will beat myself up over not getting everything done and being superwoman. The kids are back to school tomorrow so I think my plan will be an ultra early night tonight, do my 7 hrs at work tomorrow and then come home and attack a few jobs. I will choose a few easy jobs with very visible results, usually spurs me on lol.

Thanks for the hugs Josie

Cleosmum

Aww thanks Determind, am going to go load the DW and get that on while I hard boil an egg for the morning, will get OH to do my bacon and sort kids lunches and then I shall go to bed.....no wine in the house, which is prob a good thing!

Hi everyone :wave:

I've been a good DFW this weekend. Has been hard to post because I'm visiting family but I have been catching up reading about all your lovely bank holidays and good DFW efforts! Yay us!! :D

I have/will:
- Update spending diary and smile that my bank holiday trip has come in at under £35:A
- Use winnings from the Grand National to get petrol for the hire car:A
- Update wedding budget and re-jig it a wee bit - asked a family member to do something for us so we don't need a [STRIKE]rip-off merchant[/STRIKE] 'professional'
- Pay off a wee bit more of my cc:T
- Put some coins in the jar
- Meal plan for the rest of the week and include lunches so I am prepared!!!
- Check for surveys but think I might have missed the deadline
- Smile because Quidco have paid me some free cash!

Will report back later when I think of a few more and to catch up with everyone else. xx

Hi everyone :wave:

Finished my 252 mile journey back home! Exhausted. Not v DFW cos the price of petrol is so high now (!) but much cheaper hiring a car when needed rather than owning one. Actually, I say that but the Grand National winnings and quidco cash covered it.

Can't believe I forgot today's date in the title (Arghh, sorry Cleosmum). Believe it or not I remembered about mile 150! :rotfl:

Anyway, today I have also:

• remembered I'm going to a friend's tomorrow so don't need to think about tea;) just wine:p
• put the water on and remembered to turn it off - not quite got round to doing the dishes...:p
• tidied round a wee bit
• wrote out a little bit of a to do list - monday task - always on a long post-it and never long enough to cover more than one!:o
• going to chill out for the rest of the night with some wine (from a box and much cheaper than the bottles we used to get from the corner shop) and some TV
