OS Daily Sunday 12th February

Hi everyone
Bit of a lurker on the old style board for about a year and a half and have decided to bite the bullet and try to regularly post on the daily thread and old style pleasures thread as a way of keeping track of my ( attempted) moneysaving.
I feel like a bit of a stalker reading about all your daily lives but havent really posted myself yet so here it goes, ...
Today started early doors about 5.30 with DD ( 4 weeks) still not settled with her feeding. I tried desperately to breastfeed but didnt produce enough breastmilk so after 4 weeks of feeding her on the breast, topping up then expressing I think ive gave it my best shot and its time to just do whats best ( in this case) and give her the formula exclusively.
Never thought I would as I didnt bf DS ( 13 months) but Im genuinely heartbroken at this failing, Ive been struggling with my mood since well before she was born due to illness in pregnancy ( pancreatitis and complications ) I have decided to sort this out and go to the docs tomorrow and accept the antids theyve been suggesting for over a year.
Not to offend anyone having taken antids before but this just feels like somewhere else I have failed, not being able to handle everything on my own.
Im sure thats all part of the pnd>

Anyway, enough of the rambling. Today there wasnt really much in the way of OS, did quite a bit of ebaying last night so just tying up those loose ends today when get a free minute and went for a little walk in to Glasgow during the day then home for some swishing and swiping.
Tea tonight is steak and chips, just getting a grip of meal planning properly this last month after trying on and off for the last 4 months. It feels great when you stick to all the meals, doesnt it? Never thought Id feel such an acheivement for something so small hehe.


Please do excuse the self pitying rant that is my first post I need a good kick up the backside, hugs to all those who want them and hope everyone has a good week

Just a flying visit to say hello and goodbye.

Have crashed in from the Drop in. Some of our regulars didn't turn up which is worrying because we try to fix them up on Sundays with basic food stuff for the rest of the week. However, we start daily breakfasts tomorrow morning so perhaps one or two of them will turn up for that - if they remember, which is doubtful.
Off to bed now. very early for me but as I have to be up and out by 6.00am (isn't that the middle of the night?) and I don't ususally surface till about 8.00 I'm nervous about oversleeping in spite of the alarm.

Bitsy: Ah. Had you forgotten what it's like with a baby in the house?

Monnogran heavens yes.......nearly four years since we had a baby how quickly we forget :rotfl:

Rebecca hugs for you xx it's ok to say sometimes I can't cope and to get some help. It doesn't matter at the end of the day how you feed your baby as long as they are happy and contented and more importantly happy mum xxx

Very late post from me today! DGD arrived this afternoon, with meds and nose drops, but sounding much better (apart from a really chesty sounding cough). She settled really well this evening and we woke her for her antibiotics a few minutes ago. Supposed to take 6hourly...but I'm not setting an alarm for 4am. if she sleeps a bit longer I'm sure it won't matter too much. DS also arrived this evening. may be a bit tense for the next few days....
