Ah Hidden did next doors drama quieten down? I hate things like that, I sit on the edge of my seat listening!
Just waiting for my washing to finish! I desperately want to go to bed too!0 -
No they are still at war
I've locked up and come up to bed with a brew.
My diet has gone upside down! I had coffee last night and I had bread today! :cool:
I was anxious over my appointment that I changedGlad I changed it
There's been an incident in the local paper today that opened some boxes and has caused a bit of a rift between me and my mum
I know I have to leave past as past but sometimes I just wish she could answer questions. She obviously doesn't want too or feel the need to. Meh!
Wish I could erase my memory of the pastForgive, forget and move on.
Youngest has come and joined me in bedI would never allow it normally but I feel lonely so she can stay

Bless you, sometimes a hug from a little person is just what you need. May gives the biggest squishiest hugs! Sorry the past is difficult for you. It's hard when things are left unanswered. I hope you get a good nights sleep.
Don't worry about the diet, I too have had coffee (lots) and bread and biscuits (lots) and cake (lots). Tomorrow is a new day!

hidden i love reading your diary and you come across as a lovely mum.
i hope you dont think im speaking out of turn but you mention you use bleach a lot, i think you said you used too much because there was a powerful smell etc a few posts ago. Im wondering if you're aware of the effects of bleach on the lung & respiratory problems especially in children. Here's one study about it https://universityhealthnews.com/daily/eyes-ears-nose-throat/are-bleach-fumes-dangerous-bleach-exposure-increases-risk-of-infection-in-kids/
but if you google it there's lots of articles about bleach, and id hate for it to effect your little one as you mentioned she has breathing probs. I understand you need to clean to keep in control but maybe its worth using something else.0 -
Mmmmm..bread! There is no way on this planet I'd ever give house-room to any form of "diet" that told me I needed to cut out bread. If I absolutely had to due to developing an allergy I would but that's the only chance of it ever!
might as well try to tell me that I had to cut out cheese - NEVER. GONNA. HAPPEN! :rotfl:
School photos - is there one of all three of them together? if so I'd buy a small copy of that, and then tell your Mum & Sister that they are welcome to order but they'll need top pay too as you need to prioritise where your money goes. Either they'll want them - in which case they'll get their money out - or they won't, in which case it's not worth you wasting your cash on buying them for them is it!There are very few school pics of me from when I was little as there was never the money spare for it really.

Interesting on the bleach! Will stop and see how we go. Thank you.
A stupidly busy day. I've just sat down. walked around 19 milesMy legs burn!
EH we don't eat real cheese :rotfl: I don't actually follow a diet I just want to lose a few more lbs after being encouraged with the recent weight loss!
Oh and worst mum award def goes to me today. All the kids have had this cold and cough. DD has had hers lingering and asked me to take her to the Dr. Sent them all to school, got DD an emergency appointment for 10am, picked her up walked to DR, waited over 50 mins to be seen!! She has a chest infectionFelt awful!! By the time this was done, we where late to pick youngest up! Rushed back to school to drop DD in and collect a heartbroken youngest because I'd forgot her
That just set the day behind. I hate being late. HATE it. I've been so cross with myself and feeling guilty all day!0
