    As you can see I had lots of time in the night to do more planning and sorting of birthdays :rotfl:

    I feel happier now than I have in so long. I know there's still the underlying MH. I'm so grateful for all the help I have received. All the messages, replies and things. Thank you :A

    Having so much wrote down in lists and plans and things has made me feel much less worried. Even if it's very repetitive :o

    Shame about the party but I don't blame you for staying inside, it's freezing out there especially for DD if she's not feeling 100% to start with. Best to stay inside wrapped up warm.

    Nice to hear you sounding so cheerful. I think saving up for a bed should definitely be a priority when the smalls birthdays are done and dusted. Having your own room to retreat to at the end of the day would be lovely. :) xx

  • Are there any charities in your area that can help provide a bed? A quick google has brought up something called Urban Outreach in your area. Perhaps you could see if they can help? Xx

    Youngest is quite poorly :(

    I haven't looked Lucky, it's not urgent. If it was the smalls who needed something I would but it can wait.

    Oh no :( You were only saying a couple of days ago how a cold is never just that for her. Is it something you know you can manage yourself, or will you have to call somebody out? xx

    WB~~Sorry about youngest :( x

    Sometimes you need to put yourself first.
    In most peoples books a bed is a neccesity.
