When I asked for luck I didn't mean the bad variety!!!

Today has been NSD#4 of the month . Really good going for me, especially by the 9th. Mind you, it's easy to not spend money when you can't leave the house!!

Spent the day cooking, cleaning and meal planning. DS1 seems a bit brighter now but still just lying on the sofa with his duvet. Fingers crossed we all get to sleep through tonight Xx

Yay to the balance transfer :T and the 3lb loss! That's fantastic

Sorry to hear bugs are in the house, get lots of orange juice for the vitamin C it's hitting round here too as lots are off sick atm from DD & DS2's school. I thought I had it bad with 5 kids climbing the walls but poor you with a whole load of them at beavers :eek:!!!

I like the sound of the dog btw so how do you go about getting one of those? The kids would love it too xx

please-let-me-be-lucky

Need to look a bit more into the dog idea DF(W). Honest answer to your questions is "I don't know" .

Busy day here today which included a trip to fracture clinic for DS2 for a final check on his arm. All is well there so we don't need to go back . This was combined with a quick visit to another ward to see Grandma who is a little better :T.

I've also changed my gas and electricity deal. The big hoohah in the news just happened to coincide with my last deal ending a couple of days ago, so I've been using comparison sites with the rest of the country today. Eventually (because things kept crashing with high traffic volumes!!) discovered that the best deal available is with my current provider but on another tariff, so switch made nice and easily and £250 saved. I got a bit of a shock though at our annual usage/spends, so everyone has had another lecture about energy saving!

Also had confirmation that DS2's photo will definitely be used in the magazine :T Proud Mummy!! Xx

Happy Friday

Wow! Well done on the switching! Quite a heap you've saved. Hopefully the 'lecture' stops IN the head and doesn't go in one ear and out the other :)

:j for DS2!!!

Everything crossed! Nice but quiet sounds just the ticket!

Feeling meh today. There is no other way to describe it. No real reason, just fed up. DH has been bad tempered which is never fun and DS1 has annoyed me by getting a poor result in a test at school, not because he didn't know the answers but because he ran out of time which can only mean he was messing about. Neither of these things are the cause of my mood, they've just not helped.

In a bid to cheer myself up I shall list some positives
1) NSD #5 today.
2) Have avoided the heating even though it's freezing.
3) Been to gym and stuck to diet.
4) New pillows arrived that I bought v cheaply through Gr0up0n.

Think that's it. DH has fallen asleep on sofa as I've been typing which isn't normal. Hope we aren't in for more 'fun and games'. Sigh

Yes hope so too. Prod him awake

Have switched heating on. After wearing 3 layers and 2 pairs of socks and still feeling cold I decided enough was enough! Pity though..

Didn't mean to worry you buffy, sorry. Thanks for posting, you too brizzle.

I'm struggling today if I'm honest. My mood didn't improve any yesterday so I decided to have an early night at 9pm and left DH playing his xbox game as he seemed better after his sleep. Between 9pm and 10.30pm when he came to bed, I'd been up to DS2 twice who I believe was having night terrors . He was literally sat there screaming and rocking back and forth but wouldn't speak to me or tell me what was wrong. Quite frightening really. DH came to bed and I tried to explain to him what had been happening but he just went to sleep. Cheers mate! :mad:. Half an hour later I was up with DS2 again, same thing. When I finally got back into bed DH was very restless and jerky and I laid awake for another hour worrying about a seizure starting. Thankfully this didn't happen but just as I was dropping off to sleep DS2 woke for a 4th time. Long story short my 'early night' finally started after 1am.

Credit where it's due, DH did get up with the boys this morning but got so involved playing his blinkin game again I had to get up shortly after to see to DS2 who was shouting for help in the bathroom and then to break up fights between the boys. I love my family but I have an overwhelming urge to run away today which upsets me to feel like that. I feel very 'poor me' .

Really hoping it's hormones making me feel like this. Have made a Drs appt for Thursday (next one they had) but will cancel if AF shows up before then. Otherwise it will be 9 weeks without a period by then.

Mum is looking after the boys while I'm at work tonight. She offered to have them overnight but they want to watch their Dad do a charity obstacle race in the morning, so they want to stay at home. It's an 8.30am start :eek:. And it's supposed to pour down . Deep joy.

hello hon XX

I do know my hormones are an utter bloody nightmare, the week before my period I get so depressed, life is awful, I am lonely, sad and never going to amount to anything.

Then I get my period and hey presto feel better and everything looks better. I hate it tho and am trying to find a supplement or diet "style" to help limit this horrible see saw.

I would imagine in your situation it will be a while both mentally and hormonally till it all settles and with all the worry of DH - sorry am sure you know this. I wish more than anything I was coming over to visit and have a cup of tea with you.

Huge hugs XXXX
