Fingers is still up, rocking on his car :eek: I tried putting to bed earlier and he was having none of it. But if you can't stay up late at Mimas where can you stay up late.

Over the years we tend to get into unhelpful thinking habits. We might favour some over others, and there maybe some that are far too familiar. Once you can identify your unhelpful thinking styles, you can start to notice them - they very often occur just before and during distressing situations. Once you can notice them, then that can help you to challenge or distance yourself from those thoughts, and see the situation in a different and more helpful way.

1. Complete the daily sudoku challenge
2. Choose what you would like to do on your bucket list this year
3. Make some homemade dog treats
4. Watch some Glozell videos

Happy Birthday Betsie :-)

Hugs to all who need them xx

I have been reading all your posts (often whilst feeding baby) but not always got time left to reply. I'm feeling much better thanks ;-) All good here atm. Baby is full of smiles. DS1 makes me laugh every day and is being a very good boy. Even eating well which makes a change :-) Bought a plastic storage box (like a little shed) from argos. We put all the christmas decs in it and all our camping gear And today we found.... drumroll please.... the stand for our artificial prelit christmas tree. Bit late for 2013, but its in the box for 2014 lol

Woo hoo Betsie happy happy birthday Hooe you had a good day and have been spoilt rotten xxx
Festive Princess JJ You are such a cutie. Bless your Mum I love her already On a serious note I hope you are being sensible re your shunt, please be careful. I'm whisking shunt keep shunting vibes straight to you. Everything crossed that you don't end up having to go back into hospital. What does your Mum think about the referral set back? Have you given it anymore thought, I can't bare that you are in so much pain. xxx
Mrs M bless you The film sounds very thought provoking to say the least! Enjoy your weekend Get you, leaflet/flyer design, is there anything you can't turn your hand to you clever thing. Did your friend like it? What beautiful words to b_e_g I think I lurked on the flylady thread a few years ago, did your brother loose a little baby girl? (Total apologies if I've remembered wrong) xxx
Linky what are you like! I think you'd go loopy in my house with all my clutter. You are always so very busy. Try and find a few minutes me time this weekend. The fact that FM is still up made me smile. What happens at Nana's stays at Nana's or Mimas. Except my DD told me off recently, saying that DGD2 is a frequent visitor so these rules can't apply!!!
BBTHREE I'm loving the nail chat I do my own now with shellac and a uv lamp it's so easy. I'm glad you took note and that the slapped wrists worked haha. Seriously though please be kind to yourself and smile lots xxx
Mrsinvisible naughty, naughty assessor! Still at least the greenhouse will be repaired and you with the help of Nev seem to be sorting the garden out xxx
Arthein Freezer Tetris made me giggle it drives me mad! Had to chuckle with the tales from the choir too, love that song and heard it on the radio early made me think of you xxx
Freespirit bucket list OMG now DS has over stepped the mark. Cheeky cheeky boy Next week he'll have you building your own coffin xxx
Baby boo blinking typical the night you are on and posting I'm managing to sleep. But on bed rest doesn't sound good my lovely. Hope you are feeling brighter today. Sending lots of love. I'm glad you are near by xxx
Ploddingalong your posts are always chatty! it's your duty to post as regularly as possible about well just about anything Toothache is such an awful pain, it becomes so all consuming doesn't it What a lovely friend you are to be having your goddaughter when you aren't feeling at your best Hope they've all played nicely and that an appointment comes through very very quickly xxx
Linky and 3fortheholiday loving the quotes keep making us smile xxx
Springdreams well you've managed to do it again! think that's my very favourite animation up to now! I love it. Clever thing xxx
Fluffysox love that shed, it's a great idea. I'm really glad everything has come together and settled down. Your gorgeous boys are very lucky to have you xxx
b_e_g and his missus we are all thinking of you my lovelies. You know where we are when you fancy an natter. Sending lots of love to you and your families xxx

Well in other news in the Nan house, I was in such a tizzy yesterday. I didn't know if I was coming or going! DD works Fridays and as you know DGD2 has started school. Typically though first few weeks in nursery DGD2 has picked up everything going germ wise and really wasn't well so she came to spend the day with us (woo hoo Ssshhh don't tell DD but we had a lovely day) and today I managed to "borrow" her for a couple of hours too.

Is anybody else with voda£one? Oh my goodness I was beside myself couldn't work out what was wrong and when I finally did get through to them they kindly told me it was all over the internet/tv etc. it's been dodgy today too I hadn't realised how addicted I was even though DH points it out daily haha xxx

Ruth just finished Cottage by the Sea thoroughly enjoyed it xxx

Good Morning!
Sorry for being MIA - have had nothing going on apart from work...
We had our post-Christmas party for the Sunday School children yesterday - 37 children for tea and games. My ears are still recovering!
Have just ordered a cross stitch kit of a black and white Staffordshire bull terrier for my friend who has a big birthday in April so need to get started with that. It's small enough to frame myself - I stitched a Collie for a friend last year and I was shocked at how much the framer charged - nearly £60!
I received a parcel from a friend in Australia last week with a very pretty Christmas card and a fabric stocking made from koala-print fabric in it so the house is slightly Christmassy again - it would have been rude not to display them! My friend has come home unexpectedly as her Mum is poorly (on the mend now) and is coming for lunch on Thursday so I'll have to keep them out!
B.e.g. and his missus - I'm sorry for your loss
Junior J - hope the shunt clears. Are you going back to the GP to demand a referral? Is it worth seeing a different GP this time?
OMO - thank you for the quotes - they make me smile!
Hope everyone has a lovely Sundayx
