This week has been hard and its only just past the half way point!

Couldn't have been better order for me this week. Today the house is freezing and the rooms I can mostmeasily huddle in are the receptions. I shall light the wood burner.


This week, the levels have REALLY helped because as things got tough elsewhere I have just done level one and not felt like a failure (with my own daily list it would have meant loads of stuff not crossed out)

Doing my list from the sick bay, sorry home - DH has the flu again - he slept on the sofa last night wearing a hat, scarf, fleece, work clothes and 5 blankets on top . He's now gone up to bed so I'll have to try to be quiet all day long. DS has got his cough and snotty nose come back so I'm keeping him off pre-school so got both boys home ... joy.

Already had some of Thursday and Fridays list done Happy flying, everyone x

ETA - pigpen - I'm sending healing vibes. Don't know what I would do in regards to the bullying, I think I would be asking advice too as it is a difficult one I suppose if he has asked you not to intervene I would take that into account, but closely watch the situation and if things get worse or he starts to withdraw etc you might just have to act....I dread the day one of my children come home and say they are being bullied and really feel for you x
poohbear Happy Birthday
furball, jojo and mumof2 - hope you and yours get better soon

helen_jelly

Morning all

Poohbear - Happy Birthday
Pigoen - Peaceful passing vibes for OH Gran
JoJo - hope you feel much improved today
Mumof2 - Poor DH and DS - get well vibes for them and coping ones and a hug for you

Off to the lotty in a mo and then off to sneak a visit to Dad before official visiting times - otherwise kiddies have to go and I don't want to tire him if he is bad again
