    Morning, a new day, a new month and a new start :)

    DH and I didn't speak at all after our row. After some soul searching, I have to admit that it is my PMT causing this and it's inexcusable.
    Certain months I feel the Devil takes over and my fuse is shortened with those I love the most. This month that is due to bad diet and not enough exercise - both of which I can (and will) change. Last night things felt very bleak, plus tomorrow is our Wedding Anniversary :(

    Anyway, back to money. Just checked the joint account, which looks healthy thankfully. What doesn't is a bill from BT for £50.12! :eek: Blimey Charlie! That is our new Broadband and phone package and will be getting looked at forthwith!

    Woke up and had a shower, read Runners World in the loo (glamour), then looked at the clock - 5.50am :cool:. So I've just dried my hair, polished the kids school shoes and left all the bags and uniform on the launchpad for DH and now I'm off to work.

    Have a good day and Happy November to all :)

    Hi macgirl - well, at least you know *why* the blazing row happened ... and you know its not a relationship issue, its something fixable by you personally around hormones and energy levels .... thats something, surely? Hope you feel on more of an even keel today, and that you do indeed have a happy November.

    Lots of hugs.

    Good evening.

    Well, a day survived. Husband still wants to stay married - phew! Work ok and workmates fantastic :A Money accounted for and stable - Hurrah! Daughter sick though - at wit's end :(
    Have joined a parenting site on the advice of KM and will keep all mitherings to that. If we have any developments, I'll post them here, but won't keep going on about it.

    Hope all's well in MSE land :)

    Thats a good idea - you're much more likely to get informed feedback (as opposed to people like me, who are interested but know nothing :) ) and that sisterhood feeling when somebody's going through it at more or less the same time as you.

    Thanks KC, someone has already posted to say their child went through the same thing, which is reassuring :)
