    Morning

    Up later than usual as I just didn't want to get out of bed :o

    Smalls are eating breakfast and I think it will just be a generally slower day today. Need to do some cleaning and start getting things ready for next week. Have emailed school about fitting the older two in breakfast and after school care at short notice and how much it costs etc. I don't know if anyone will pick up emails on half term but if not I'll speak to them Monday morning.

    I feel like there's lots to get done but I'm not sure what :o I realise how stupid that sounds!

    We have an early appointment tomorrow to review some medication youngest is on and the side effects. I really hope there's an alternative to try so we can all get some sense of normal back.

    Have fallen behind on surveys too because I just don't seem to have enough hours in the day around medicines and cleaning and appointments... Plus my bed is so comfy by the time I've done everything I just want to get in bed :o :rotfl:

    I hope you all have a good day :)

    Morning Wannabe. Glad today won't be as hectic for you all. There is lots to be done with getting ready for next week etc. so it's probably all weighing on your mind. I'm sure you've already written a list of everything you need to take with you, but if not, that'd be a good start and then maybe there are some things you could start to pack in the bags. It might make you feel like you're doing something constructive.

    I wouldn't worry about surveys. They seem very thin on the ground at the moment and tbh you've got enough on your plate for the time being.

    Hope you all have a good day. xx

    Thank you Tea.

    Not as hectic today. Wish that could be told to my anxiety though! Really in overdrive today :o feel awful.

    In better news I've paid my bills. So I should have enough to pay for childcare and things next week. I think other than school the main costs are going to be travel/food and drinks. Really stressing. Hope we are hope for DS birthday etc. I know it's out of my control but I can't help but worry about it :o

    I'll stop moaning now :o

    Sorry to hear you're feeling anxious :( If you're all staying over with DD do you have the use of a kitchen or do you have to use the cafe? I'm sure once you're in and the tests etc. are underway you'll feel better. I always think waiting is the hardest part and that's when our thoughts can run away with us.

    You're not moaning, if it helps to get things off your chest carry on posting - it's your diary after all. :)
