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

WOW for your day. Lovely MiL - bet you look fab! I am a scarecrow, my last cut was beginning of August... :eek:

Glad that it was such a nice day. Just what you needed.

You pushed me to take a bit of my own advice and I hit the bath for 2 hours with doors closed everywhere I could to drown out all noise last night. I read an entire 445 page book and had Radox bath soak. Wonderful thanks for the reminder! xx

My last cut before today was mid March .

Glad you took some time for you. Xx

DH was sick last night . Not long after he'd taken his tablets too :(. He seems a bit better this morning apart from saying how warm it is when I think it's quite cold! Will keep an eye on him. Hope he's not getting Shingles on top of everything else :eek:.

Just bought 5 personalised calendars from Gr0up0n for £17.50 plus £2.99 delivery :T. They make fab Christmas presents and it will be the 3rd year running I've done it. Works out at about £4 each per calendar, bargain! I just fill them with pictures of the boys and the Grandmas etc love them.

Jobs list for today
Phone T@lk T@lk re still no internet.
Phone Drs to confirm blood results.
Phone Carer's Centre.

Supposed to be going on a night out with Mums from school tonight which was arranged about a month ago. Will have to see how DH goes Xx

I hope you manage to get out for some girly time. It's medicinal xx

Ditto, you need to be able to unwind a bit hun!

Hope DH is feeling better and you manage to get out. Maybe his tummyache just morphed into something a bit more horrible, and you escaped with just tummy pains?

Hope you get out with the girls...

Great news about the hair cut :T how lovely of her to do that I have kept on top of getting my hair done recently but only because it was free for 3 months and the last one was only £10 :rotfl: I'm such a tightwad if it were any more than that I think I just wouldn't bother

I also had a huge meltdown this morning which you have only just reminded me about :eek: (memory loss?????! I didn't even mention it on my diary as I clean forgot!) But my ds1 was thumping around downstairs I came down and asked if he was ok to be screamed at and told to f*** off I was not too pleased and went a little crazy screaming and shouting back (oops) sometimes the smallest thing just breaks you when you're already fragile. I told him he'd best come home and say sorry or else his shiny new present will be taken out of the cupboard and thrown away before his birthday (I think that was a little hasty...it will probably come out of the cupboard and replace mine or DH's broken phones :rotfl: )

I agree with you all about giving up scouts. Do it. Do you even think for one second that if it were another parent in your predicament that they would consider everyone elses needs? I would take a guess that they wouldn't even care. I think it needs to be dropped and I thought it some time ago but kept it to myself So now you've thought it also I will say, I agree! You're not irreplaceable they will find someone else to get a headache once a week and if you feel up to it again in the future I bet they would have you back in a flash!

Much love, chin up (:rotfl: I hate that saying but it sprang to mind sorry ) xxxx

Afternoon all!

Spent the morning pottering. I cleared out my wardrobe and tried EVERYTHING on! I got rid of anything that was too big or did me no favours and was pleased to rediscover lots of tops which I thought were too small but which now fit again:T. The discarded pile will get weighed in the next time I'm near there as they aren't really worth eb@ying. The pile won't make a fortune but it might pay for a coffee or something!!

I also rang to register with the Carer's Centre and they want me to have a meeting with one of their Support Counsellors. I think the exact words she said were "Dear me, you do have a lot on your plate! Let's get you talking to someone before it all blows up to epic proportions and you have some kind of breakdown" :rotfl:.

I also rang T@lk T@lk but a recorded message said I have to wait 72 hours from the last update they provided before I check it again. By my reckoning that's 4.45pm tonight so I'll ring back then.

DH managed some lunch and kept it down which he seemed to think made him much better and in need of going out for some fresh air. He also wanted to go shopping to buy a pizza for his tea 'incase I do decide to go out'. I think he just fancied pizza! Anyway, we went for a walk around Gibside which is Nat Trust, and DS2 played in the park there. It felt very Autumnal crunching in the leaves with jumpers on, and a total contrast to standing in the sunshine at the park yesterday in just a t-shirt!

Just rang Drs. All blood results were normal and Dr has marked it as 'no further action'. Guess I'm just knackered then!!

You are not broken.
You are one of the most amazing awesome people I know.

Happy new hair.
Time to give up the Beavers me thinks.
You dont need the hassle.End of. xx

It must have been a lovely treat to find clothes that now fit you and lots to get rid of. You need a huge pat on the back for doing so well at weight loss while living a high stress life.

Your notes to remind you have encouraged me to look into seeing our local carers group for some help. I had a major meltdown on 1st and this is my first time back on here since.

Glad you had a nice walk at Gibside. I love it there. Lots of nice level walks for me.

ETA I asked for a print out of my blood results this week. Some things were at lower end of normal so I am going to talk to my GP about them. If ferritin is at lower end you may need a tonic.

The other thing I am going to do today is go upstairs and listen to a relaxation CD. If I get the chance. Could you try that some time when boys are in bed maybe? I have a few spare if you would like one...
