EH :eek: Crumpled I just can't do.. They went well ironed .. socks and tights included
Not going to pretend much else got done today though. Hard things going on around us at the minute and decisions I don't want to make... Can I stop being adult for a while?
Still dragged myself to the winter fayre £4.50 spend, could have been worse I guess. Activities done, fed, bathed and tucked into bed. Good conversations of knowing they're loved and things have taken place. I don't want to fail

You won't fail, you are too determined to succeed :T
And your smalls are so well cared for by you - another success
But there are many days when being an adult isn't all it's cracked up to be:mad::eek::rotfl:

Sometimes with decisions that we hate making, we already know what the right thing is, it's just hard to set it in motion.
Maybe you have made those decisions, or some of them, already in your heart or head, and it's about launching out - but you aren't alone, you have us lot to cheer you on and advise at times, and just be there when needed.
Having said that, you have my permission (for what it's worth) to stop adulting for the rest of the night, and in patches tomorrow as well.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

I was a lurker, and then you were lost. Glad that I found you and that you are continuing to do so well
Oh, Wannabe, I can’t do crumpled either. But I can do cobwebs and dirty windows,! Wish I had your energy.

Morning WannabeFree, how are you? All the threads seem a bit quiet at the moment, but yours especially so compared with usual.
Just wanted to say I will be on a train through your local station today. I had better not wave in case people think I'm a bit strange, but I'll be thinking of you and the small ones!I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Thank you x
I am on the sofa with a poorly youngest and a hot water bottle.
Older two went to school with a neighbour and I think their dad is doing tomorrow why I deal with some other things and appointments for myself. Hoping he can extend his booked AL to a full day and can do pick ups from school too. I have lots I need to see too tomorrow. For myself for once
Still have some bits I want to add into the smalls Xmas gifts if I get chance to head to town and pick them up. If not they have what I'd planned to get and that is more than enough.
Have got Mr S slot booked for the 22nd so need to fix a list of things we need over the holidays. Mainly milk/juice and fresh things I think.
Hope you all have a good day x“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

Oh poor little 'in! Hope all's well soon x
Also hope you get all the important things out of the way. Good that people are helping out. Don't worry about the negatives, we all have them sometimes so if it helps to talk, feel free. Or type and delete if that helps.
I'm not really near but I do have to go through your area every few weeks and I used to know it better because my Dad worked there. I knew about the flood/landslip in the summer because my train got re routed. Small world in some ways!I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Hope the wee one gets better soon and you get everything done that you need to. I'm still sway in a very wet and cold Lake District with terrible WiFi but I've been reading if not posting so haven't forgotten about you. Take care.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.0

She's not too bad, cuddles and medicine will keep her good hopefully. Just being cautious we want to be at home for Xmas.
Thank you TF hope you're having a wonderful time away.
The land collapse is still causing chaos Cherry! I live 2 minutes from there. It means our 'main' road is crazy now it's still not open fully there.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0
