    Good morning ladies.

    My day off was spent feeding the WM and ironing. DH called a family conference last night and talked to the boys about how their untidiness and laziness impacts on me and alters the ambience in thd house. It has been said before so I'm not expecting miracles.
    I'm just feeling really fed up.

    The poorlies are showing slight improvement. DS3's wrist is much more flexible. DS1 goes to the dentist at midday. DH is taking his medication and the mood swings have commenced.

    I hope everyone has a good day.

    Added to today's list is ring dd1s hv and discuss dd1 with her. She is really unhappy and having spoken to her last night we think she has PND so we will get that sorted for her. Daft lass said she thought this is how you are meant to feel and it can't be PND Because she has bonded with Samuel .. Her hv used to be mine so hopefully she has improved very much over time because she was useless when I had her!!
