Morning, W. Good to see you back and planning all your lists. I'm feeling tired just looking at them.
Have a good day, xx

I do feel less worried about the smalls. I do still feel a bit like a failure though and I've just proved those who said I couldn't do it right. :cool:

Sometimes you have to go the long way round to get to the right place - being there for DD to ensure her health is as well provided for as possible is a brave choice because you know it will be hard for you in terms of you always being the one on call, not having the freedoms and status of a job outside the house and having a little less to bolster your own mental health. However, that said - I hope that I would have had the strength to make the same decision if I were in your place. She has the security of knowing you are always there for her, and your depth of knowledge of her means you are likely to pick up on any worrying symptoms early and so reduce the stresses on her. In the long term she may well be a stronger little girl because you are with her, and that will give you more leeway later on.

Anyhow... hope you've had some rest after yesterday and that today goes well.

Glad the work thing is sorted out WF. It sounds like the right decision and great that you will have a job to go to in 12 months time!

Childcare is one of the most stressful things we have to deal with too, and we don't have health issues to contend with. Don't worry about what others think, your family is what matters.

You have a right to do whatever is best for you and your family whatever anyone else says. The fact you've negotiated a compromise with work and childcare is a success in anyone's book

It certainly is. And your employers wouldn't have said you could have a job once things are better with the wee one if they didn't value the hard work that you do for them.

Thank you for all your replies, I expected some harsh ones

Well Youngest's bed arrived. It's perfect.

Have sorted some of the things I wanted to organise before smalls back at school. Have swapped cupboards around hoping things just 'work' better.

Painted the ceiling and the first coat of gloss on the woodwork in my bedroom. Decided I need wallpaper before painting the walls (cheaper than a plasterer) so need to save £45 for this. (10 rolls) PA is nearly at £20 though and £1.25 away from cashout on Yougov.

Have got my sister looking on the social media sites for a bed and TV. She knows lots of people too :rotfl: She called in today to drop off some birthday cake :A

Then this afternoon me and youngest snuggled watching TV and both fell asleep :rotfl:

Older two away to bed, they had Curry for dinner with rice and naan bread. Not very healthy there but they enjoyed it!

Tomorrow I need to pop and get a tablecloth and some fresh bits for school lunches. Their Dad will watch small ones I hope that will make it easier and quicker. The rest of tomorrow will be used getting ready for back to school on Monday and planning the weeks appointments and meals and things.

Hope everyone has a good weekend, this post turned into a long one
