Time to be completely honest

Hi

Thanks We did have a great time (I got a little burnt though - forgot about myself and suncream!!).

There were some lovely people there who let DD get on their float/carriage - it was one of the carnival queens and she was beside herself. They then let ds get on too! Bless - they travelled round waving at everyone. I however, stupidly wore gorgeous shoes and my feet have been cut to shreads. Spent £8 as well- £3 on rides for the kids at the fair, OH joined us and spend £3 on rides, and £2 on a hot dog (just hasn't got it at all). I will transfer this money out of a little paypal money I have but am not impressed!

A gorgeous day though - the kids are shattered although DS is refusing to go to sleep, he has a cough so screams and screams then wheezes and coughs in bed. He dressed up as Robin Hood - a friend lent us a top and hat and then he just wore some little brown shorts - very sweet.

Need to crack on with stuff now as got nothing done today - just a nice day! My mum came across which was a lovely surprise and DD did a lovely pic for her too.

OH gone out now - don't know where we'll get that money from - the food budget I guess. Grrrrr....He was quite strange with my mum as well and since part of the deal was him to be nicer to her and make it up to her (he was really rude to her at the height of our problems) he has completely not done this. I was quite shocked actually. Maybe I think things should change quicker than they are. I don't know.

Anyway - photos! - click on them to actually see the photos!





ONe is ds in his robin hood outfit - the hat didn't stay on for long! DD is on the float, before ds joined them! And then the two of them are at the top of Beacon Fell the other day- bless!

Right, want to achieve something tonight!!

Sea - what a pair of cuties

LOVE DS's hair - my DD was just like that as a toddler (Shirley Temple double). Now though, at 13, she's grown it long and is much sraighter - still has annoying (to DD) kinks in it

How're things between you and OH? Any easier? Stay strong for your beautiful kids and especially for YOU!

Oh and forgot to mention the bloody student loans company are still chasing me for the payment I gave in Feb clearing it all - tey are a load of incompetent fools. I have spoken to them 4 times about this and each time they say, oh yes, I see what's happened - i'll change that for you now - !!!!!!!!

Hi - thanks I think his hair is gorgeous too!

Me and OH were getting on better - I thought but I can't keep going over the same old ground with him. He promised to look up the counselling again today nd I don't know if he did. Seemed more concerned with his plans for the night out. Grrrr. Will have a proper chat tomorrow about it all.

Easier said than done, I know, but try not to let OH wind you up this evening. Focus instead on the nice day you have had, and give yourself a smile about what gorgeous kids you have.

Really nice photos x

I'm loving these lists as I regularly check them and then go back - I would never have done a declutter boogie just now if it wasn't for the list.

Will do another tomorrow including the things I didn't do today.

Sorry to hijack and ask a dumb question, but what's flylady?

flylady.com - basically for people like me who are overwhelmed by everything!! This is a great website that tells you how to sort your house etc. It is a little overpoweringly american but once you get over this it's great! Have a look - i'm not very good at describing it!
