Hi there, please can i join?

Not a problem - you are now on the opening post list

We are expecting baby no2 the week of christmas so i need to get christmas presents sorted and a few baby bits along the way.

Congratulations! but eeep to the timescale!

Want to keep on top of the house work, especially in the kitchen so we dont end up getting takeaway :eek:

I need to get the house sorted as well - but the last cleaner I got was ripping me off :mad: (and in case anyone is wondering I am stuck on crutches and cleaning is really, REALLY hard for me to do)

Sarah x

Enjoy the journey and I hope the thread helps you and the rest of us!

Hope your results come through ok. I'm not surprised you can't get your heard around anything at the moment. I had to have all those tests done a few months ago and when I got the phone call asking to come in to see the doctor I wondered what was up. Was told cholesterol was high and needed to do some more exercise. Stay positive, hopefully the doctor just wants to talk you through the results. I'll be thinking of you.

I can't DO any exercise micron as I am stuck on crutches AND have chronic pain and CFS so that is right out (and I used to be a runner :mad:)

Um no I haven't but until I get my finances sorted I can't really afford anything (also not sure I could get to them in any case!)

elantan

yeah i understand what your saying ... it must be so frustrating for you ....

Wow....having done my homework and been brutally honest, I can see just how much work I need to do to get all areas of my life on an even keel.

Elantan - I came up with 10 categories to "score" and 5 is the highest score I could give any and that was scoring my relationship with my son.

Am really rather concerned now...

Will you send me my pocket money every week? I sooo want someone just to deal with all this stuff for me (okay, I know, I need to grow up).

Oh my God, now you've opened a can of worms (thinks relationships, marriage, career, money, health, weight etc etc)

Thank you for pointing my rambling thoughts in a direction.

Dragon - hope everything goes ok at the docs this afternoon.
