Good Afternoon friends,

Just popping my head in the door. It has been quite a rollercoaster of a few days here, some good things, some bad things and two pretty wretched things, so i'm feeling a bit all over the place.

I really need a night on the sofa relaxing with DH, but in reality I will be working tonight after the littlies are in bed. All of the above hasn't been helped by the fact I had around 6 hours sleep all weekend due to DD having terrible nightmares, poor lamb.

I will be back with a proper plan tomorrow when I hopefully feel more me, and less overwhelmed with the goings on of the past few days.

Take care all,
ATB x

Hope all settles down quickly xx

I hope you managed a better night's sleep and that things are looking a little brighter for you today.

Nightmares and little un's are dreadful and i sympathise. Our eldest (now 6) went through a wretched spell with them. The only thing that worked was his Grandma buying him a dream catcher for above his bed and explaining it to him. The psychological effect was amazing and it genuinely worked. He still has 'bad dreams' sometimes but they don't bother him anymore.
