Memorygirls - The Matrix Re-inspired

clairewop

Good morning campers

Slept very well last night, so feeling I can do all sorts today

DS2 sorted out his cupboard last week so I have a black bag of clothes in my room, I'm going to sort through it see if there is anything worth ebaying, then contact a company that pay 40p per kg of usable clothes. (leaflet came through the door a few weeks ago I kept it as I thought it may come in handy) I have some duvet covers that the boys have out grown too not sure whether to ebay them or weigh them in.

Just need to have a quick clean through then crack on with it.

Been in the green house some of DS2's plants are looking fab!! another load of radishes are sprouting lovely, although we have lost a few tomato plants

Changed my signature to something a lot more positive - decided that having the Big Horse Bank Debt on there was not positive. There is an automatic plan in place to pay it down so I am going to place my focus somewhere else if that makes sense?

Any suggestions to make it even more inspiring and motivatng gratefully appreciated.

Time to get dressed

Got any favourite quotes or writers? The metaphysical poetry in my sig is from Andrew Marvell To His Coy Mistress and I always liked the idea of giving the sun a run for his money, making time work for you rather than against you IYSWIM. Anyway that's why that's in there and the otherone I nicked of Cheri


Am sat here drinking coffee and eating chocolate and yes it's only 9.15 Had yet another awful night sleeping with DS, not feeling very positive in that respect. Sorry to be a voice of gloom but I just can't see certain aspects getting any better and constantly playing swap the bed with kids is eating away at my energy levels. Feel a bit rubbish due to nasty cough and cold so that's not really helping.

Anyway trying to be positive elsewhere I want to look into making a new baby card for my very good friend who's just had her 3rd baby. Can't wait for a cuddle with him

will try and push the vac and a duster round later too.

Claire - well done you See money is in abundance you just have to know where to look

Its crappy when you are beaten down with lack of sleep Bitsy - and I know it doesn't help at the moment, but "this too shall pass" - which is actually tatooed on my bahookie after the last couple of years.:D

So enjoy your coffee - and your chocolate, just make yourself a promise to cook yourself something nutritious and sustaining at lunchtime - and if that doesn't help, you can always have a right good old moan on here if it helps.

Well, been shopping, with my list - naturally. And the £100 is almost spent, bar a few pennies. But I now have the bits n bobs needed to see us through until the weekend (fingers crossed) - and somehow a packet of chocolate digestives managed to find their way in there (not my favourite, but the boys can have a treat at lunchtime)

Breadmaker is on, White beans are soaking for dinner, Yogurt maker will have to go on overnight and I feel that the production of a pot of "bottom of the fridge soup" is going to be imminent. I'm going to have leftover white beans tomorrow (planned) and chard in the garden so some ribolitina for lunch tomorrow - Yum!!!

Apart from that, my Roosters are going a bit sprouty, so will pluck up the courage to peel and steam and mash later - turning them into frozen blocks of mash and individual bubble and squeaks (with reduced spring greens Mmmmmm). Peelings will go in my composter.

Nice gentle rain has started again - so time to get cracking n with some of these "plans" that need to be taken action on if I am goig to give my darling DS1 a year of Education to remember.

AWW Bitsy sounds like your having a bit of a rough time why is DS up in the night if you don't mind me asking? Maybe someone here might have a solution that can help you?

Yes I am determined to get my half for the boiler asap, If I just chip at it day by day it will get there in no time. I WILL DO IT

Right I'm off to sort the black bag in my room.

Just noted your signature Claire -oops!!! Should have been paying more attention yesterday. Your target is £1K - so you are actually 5.7% towards your goal in less than a day.

Go go go Diva Claire!!!!

Morning all,

good cheery things going on in here! :T

Claire - don't be shy about starting your own diary! I've found mine really motivating, even if sometimes I'm rambling on about nothing in particular and talking to myself :rotfl: Do it girl!

Don't know about a title - bet someone's got a fab idea though

In the office today, and I'm taking on the suggestion of using positive language, so when anyone asks me how I am, I'm saying 'very well, thank you!' (although I'm not used to it yet, so usually I'm saying 'I'm alright, no, wait, I'm very well!' :rotfl: :rotfl: Getting there!)

Cycled to and from the train station this morning - so saved myself £1 :j

MG you need to get all these fab gems of ideas "out there" - start a life-style blog, get your follower numbers up, write a book - your followers will buy it. Have you seen Rhondas blog "Down to Earth" - just an idea that may grow legs.




Brilliantly simple idea - love it, thank you :T:T

I'm beginning to love writing - do you guys really think this would be worth a punt??? Would you be interested in reading of my adventures as a

It depends really. Sometimes it's to go to the toilet, sometimes it's because he's in a light sleep cycle and wakes so he freaks out because it's dark (he's frightened of the dark), shouts for me or H, we then either have to swap beds with him or sit in his room til he goes off again. Tend to swap beds as it's easier on us BUT last night he just wouldn't shut up talking Bedtime for him is a big stress with his ASD, lots of the lovely ladies on the OS Daily were trying to help yesterday, am trying to source a Slumber Milk which is higher in melatonin to try and up his levels.
