  • Can't believe it's a week since I last posted! Happy December all :D.

    Not been in the right frame of mind for anything this week if I'm honest. Feeling down, weepy, anxious, annoyed - you name it :(. Fed up.

    Currently at trampolining. DH and the boys are bouncing and I''sat in the viewing platform enjoying not having to talk to them (which makes me feel bad for saying but it's true). Xx

    Must be something in the air Lucky :( As you know I'm well fed up :( Sometimes I wonder if this time of year highlights shortcomings on our lives, although I think both of us are justified in feeling down whatever the time of year.

    I hope things pick up for you soon. Be selfish do something for you that doesn't involve the rest of the family. Even if it's just going for a festive coffee on your own xx

  • Sorry to hear you are both fed up too. Hope today has been better for you.

    I had a good cry yesterday afternoon, broke down at the sight of a Christmas bauble from my childhood would you believe :o. It's 10 years on Wednesday since my Dad passed away and it just set me off. I've a docs appointment for Friday as something isn't right. Is 38 too young to start the menopause?!?! My mood swings are just awful but I can't pin it down to any one thing. I do feel better today however, even though I had a lovely day of Christmas shopping planned which had to be cancelled as DS1 woke up with a hacking cough and sore throat :(.

    Logged in to my Valu3d Opin1ons account for the first time in ages, and found I was able to redeem a £10 @rgos voucher :T. Well chuffed with that!

  • Another day off school for DS1. Took him to docs this morning but it's viral so they can't give him anything. Hopefully he'll be well enough for school tomorrow, but think I'm getting it now :(.

    Not much else to report Xx

    My mum was only 43 when she had her menopause. However, I think 38 is far too young, could still be "women's problems" related though. You have such a lot of stuff to put up with it's no wonder you're up and down. It would drive anyone insane. I know from experience some days it's like water off a duck's back and others it's like the end of the world. Hope DS is better tomorrow and that your Christmas shopping day is resurrected. Big hugs from me xx
