A very MS mother's day then.
You are doing well getting yourself and the kids through each day, I can see it's an uphill struggle. Not long till Easter now though! Perhaps you could set aside the money you didn't spend on cards and treat yourself to some paper cups of coffee with it? Hugs xxI think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Glad mini WF is on the up. The sea air and change of scene at Easter will do you all good. When your kiddies have grown up I hope they realise what a fab mum they've got and look after you xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

Afternoon
Smalls are all happy and well I think well on the road to "recovered" for now!
So where was I when I last checked in.
Parent's evening! Amazing reports for all 3 :A Made me so proud .. We went to Mr Mcs and spent the best part of £20 between there and Mr T for a small treat
Opps! Mummy goggles took over I think :rotfl:
Yesterday was a quieter day. Youngest had some homework she loved so much I now need to buy the book for at home It's also made me realise we now need a printer rather than want one for ease. It's a bus ride to the library to print there and it's a pain! We are just off to print some homework for DS and this tops the Neediness more than the want.
So still feeling overwhelmed in stuff to do and rather than feeling like treading water... I still feel like I'm sinking! Quick send a life boat
Hope all is well

Thanks Beanie I've seen some on Argos for £30 and under. I might just have to bite the bullet and do it. It's such a pain dragging all 3 of them at this time because some things don't even have 24 hours notice of needing handed in.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0
