Forgiving myself - not something I can do. I'm very hard on myself

Yes you can that is why we are doing this challenge. Say it to yourself 3 times now and try to feel it.

Morning, when will these children realise that 5am is not an acceptable time to demand breakfast? *yawns*

Day at home today, have made sure we don't need anything from the shops and I plan on flying in my pyjamas for as long as possible...although Ollie is already asking what we're doing to do today...I could take them to Jake's music class at 9.30...but I'd rather not!

Personal Challenges

Monday - Pollyanna Day - done
Tuesday - Go outside Day - done
Wednesday Health Check - done
Thursday - Feet glorious Feet
Feet work so hard and so unloved. Today exercise yours. How high can you lift your toes? Can you lift individual toes? Keeping your feet on the floor try to move your big toes towards each other. Use a spare rolling pin or tennis ball to massage the soles of your feet. Can you pick up small items like beanbags with your feet? Get the kids involved too.
Treat them to a soak and moisturise (your feet not the kids). Foot treat products make great gifts.

Preparing for Christmas Challenges

Monday - dates - done
Tuesday - outfits - done
Wednesday - done
Thursday - Festive Food
Although stir up Sunday has just passed it’s not too late to make a pudding or a cake. My fantastic pudding recipe can be made just a week in advance. Have you got all the recipes and ingredients you need for any festive dishes? Cake boards and decorations to hand? Chocolate Yule logs are fun for kids and those who love chocolate.

The fruit for my Christmas cake has been soaking for over a week so that will get baked today...and I will decide how I want to ice it.

Coffee first....
