And I thought my weekend was busy! I don't know how you do it! My mum always says that when you have to cope with things, you just get on with it and don't think about it. I think this must be the case with you Lucky! Such a busy lady and not even taking any short cuts. You are doing super though but like everyone says, remember to take some time out for yourself.

Another lovely 6am wake up call from DS2 this morning. If he wasn't so utterly gorgeous I'd throttle him .

Do you think DS2 is waking early because he's hungry, Lucky?
..My DS2 was like that; in bed reading stories at 1930, lifted him around midnight for a pee, then every morning he'd be up by five ayem raising Cain!
It stopped when I began leaving him something to drink, something to eat and something to do by his bed; carton of juice with straw inserted ready, a banana and a toy from one of the 'reserve' boxes which he hadn't seen for a while (all the toys were split into three or four big boxes which I alternated - stopped the kids getting bored with 'em and reduced the mess ).
DS2 still woke up early, but was happy to play quietly until my alarm went off once his hunger was assuaged.
Just a thought..

Hope MrL got home safe, happy and full of his exciting 'news' to share with you last night..

Hi lucky just catching up! Glad that the camping trip seems to be a sucess! well done x

Hi all, thanks for stopping by!

Robin, I don't THINK it's hunger but it certainly won't hurt to try what you have suggested, thank you. That said, he slept in until 7.10am today (why wouldn't he, it's a school day!), so I fear the law of s0d has more to do with it than hunger lol.

Yesterday was a NSD and today has been too. First time I've managed 6 in a month for a long time, and there are still 10 days left to go at too! Mind you, most of those are during half term where it seems to be an impossibility for me to not spend anything at all. Anyway, we met family for coffee yesterday and MiL paid for drinks the boys and I. She also then very kindly paid for some new trainers for DS1, which we got in the sale for £24 :j.

DH's arrival home was not all I'd hoped it would be, as we managed to have a silly row by text during his journey home. This then escalated and he actually told me he was sick of me controlling him and not letting him do anything without ok'ing it first. I'm pretty upset about it all as it came out of nowhere and is neither true nor was relevant to the argument we originally had. He has apologised lots and has blamed it on tiredness and frustrations while he was away, but it has hurt me a lot. I have never done anything other than put him and his well being first and tried to encourage him to do things himself (when safe to do so). I feel really down and can't do anything right. Total failure.

Hi Lucky - I've made a slow cooker root veg stew/soup several times with the ingredients you got from Mr T. Soak some pearl barley overnight then chop up the root veg, add veg oxo, potato, tomato pur!e, cumin, herbs, paprika, whole grain mustard, some flour for thickening and water (plus any other bits and bobs) and cook all day in slow cooker. It tastes lovely and makes loads. Very filling too.

Glad Mr L is enjoying his weekend and that you are getting a break

I love this except for the pearly barley.... My heart would sink when I knew tea would be stew with it :rotfl::o

Dear Lucky, you are not, you are the loved one, who has born the brunt of Mr Lucky's sub conscious, that he is not the able bodied person he once was. It probably has been building all weekend. doing something different and "normal" is often the rude awakening to current limitations which in everyday life have become a norm. It had to come out, and because he loves and trusts you, you have absorbed it.

Life is too short, let go, hug kiss and make up, and remember its not your beloved talking but the illness.

Sending hugs Mrs B
