    Thank you.
    Morning, still struggling :o But got to carry on.

    Need to iron and do the meal plan next.

    Smalls happy enough with the plan of playing in the garden and having a picnic dinner out there. Makes it much easier when they are on side.

    Have a lovely Sunday all

    Thank you SA x

    Morning :D

    Feeling brighter this morning although still only 2 hours sleep :cool: Why oh why! All 3 smalls are away to school and I'm bored now :rotfl: All the chores are done, even the ironing! Dinner for this evening lifted out.

    I have sort of meal planned and wrote a list but now the weather does look like it will be lovely and I might just wipe it all out and get salad and lighter things.

    Enjoyed the F1 yesterday :D:D

    How can you even contemplate a day with two hours sleep! I'd be napping all day. Hope you are feeling much better now.

    Thank you for popping in. I'm just really fed up and p!ssed off for no real reason I guess. Feel like running away from life. Then I get annoyed and wonder if these cycles will ever end. Will I ever be able to just be normal which no probably not but just any sort of level would be fine.

    Don't even know if that makes sense.

    I haven't been on because I don't know what to post. x

    What's "normal"? It means all things to all men. Be yourself. Don't aspire to be someone else or what you think people expect you to be. You are a wonderful mother, an absolute marvel at sorting out your finances and (I think) a thoroughly nice person. Give yourself some credit for all you've done. You are still very young and have lots of time to change your life and achieve your ambitions. Stick to your goal. One day you will look back and be very proud of what you have achieved.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.
