    Bless you honeybunch, you're so productive with your low moods. I'm the opposite, I don't get dressed and hide under the duvet and eat things! Cleaning is the last thing I'll do! Yaaay for coffee, that is my one vice! Especially when I can get children's babycinnos for 50p each! X

    I'm usually like you too. I just know once I've tipped over that edge it's so much harder to come back :(

    Hope you feel better today, Hidden. Have a dodgy hug. :grouphug:

    It's ok to feel down you know and you don't need to apologise for doing things that make you feel better. Having nice coffees is probably a pretty tame way to do that you know. :p You do so much for the kids, it's ok to do something for yourself. I'm glad that you're realising that & giving yourself a bit of leeway. :T

    You're doing well with PA, I've not had anything for days, need to try and check more regularly throughout the day.

    Morning Hidden

    Much better to have a couple of coffees than a vodka. Better for you and cheaper too. Wish I could say something to lift your mood. You know if we can help in any way let us know or if you want to write how you're feeling put it down on paper. We're here to listen. You'll always get support.

    Well done on the TV. I have one in my bedroom. I don't watch it much but it's good if OH wants to watch football (just all the time!) and there's something I would really like to see.

    Hope you have a better day.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.

    Sorry you have had a rough few days HI and hope you feel better soon. The girls room sounds like it will look fab. My granddaughter would love a pink TV but she is too young still.

  • Thank you all for the replies etc x

    I do think Youngest is a bit small for a TV but then again she watches a lot of tv in hospital and it does keep her in bed while having her meds and feed etc. I think as long as they know it isn't for bedtime then it isn't too bad :o I don't want to be a bad mum :o

  • I am waiting at my appointment, running 95 minutes behind :eek:

    It's going to be a long one I think!

    Should be using the time wisely making a list and planning how to kick my butt out of this mood! but instead I'm just catching up on here :rotfl:
