    Yeah I'm grand thanks.. how are you faring? Better I hope?

    I was really worried about having PTSD or PND again and I am actually full of beans and happiness.. it is lovely to just enjoy my baby without everything being fogged by black dogs and their fur!

    I am not sure how to broach said topic so am putting it off for a bit lol

    I have a dozen other things to sort too so will maybe be having a day on the phone tomorrow!

    You know where I am.. or I can bring her to yours if it is easier for you?.. Have to be school hours though which I know is difficult with work..

    Hello and good evening all, Hope you are all well xx

    Have been busy today...Not so much with housework, but work, socialising, work, homework, cooking and SW(gained 2lb:( ) so going to find a list and see what needs doing tomorrow......
  • Well, I've well and truly fallen off the wagon this week and not done anything other than my usual daily tasks of washing, ironing and general surface cleaning! The only thing I managed to do was get the children's bedroom cleaned and vacuumed yesterday as DD1's friend was coming round and their room was a TIP!

    Hopefully I'll get back on the wagon again next week and get this house out of CHAOS!
