    Evening WF,

    Keeping every crossed that the housing decision is the wrong one.

    You are not a bad parent at all, don't ever think that. You are put the kids before yourself. That is a true parent xx

    Thank you all xx

    Everyone's in bed. All the chores are done. Even the floors!

    Still struggling with thoughts and what to do next and how to make things happen and everything else. Meh.

    Thank you again for all stopping in with lovely replies x

    Sometimes we can all be guilty of overthinking things.
    Try to switch off.
    Believe me I know that is hard to do.
    Keep plodding :) xx

    Wannabe - do take care of yourself. You must have had an exhausting time at the hospital and then all the stress of letters and freezers defrosting too. And so much more whilst on your own. I am constantly amazed that you keep going, doing so much with and for your family. They are very lucky to have such a great Mum.
    Have a better day tomorrow

    Hopefully the housing thing will be sorted soon but at least you know the roof over your head is safe. You're a fantastic mum, I've said it often and it's true. I know it's hard but try to take each day as it comes rather than worry needlessly about what might/might not happen.

    Hope tomorrow is more positive for you and the little one picks up xx
