Bit late but Happy Birthday Piggers xxx

Talking to DS and GF, recalling happy memories of my first ever foreign holiday on a plane which was with little sis. very happy memories which we giggled about many times.


Tomorrow’s list is being thought about, will post eventually - it won’t be onerous, have calendars and diaries to hand.

Welcome new flyer and yes, you’re having it easy atm x

(((Hugs))) dancemum x I wish I could help you in some way, but at this distance there is little I can do apart from sending supporting vibes and virtual hugs. Will your doctor's surgery or social services have someone on call today?

ETA: Sorry, forgot my manners - welcome Nathsmam :wave:

Morning :hello:

heigh ho, heigh ho, it's off to work I go

I moved all the important dates over to my 2018 calendar yesterday - so maybe, just maybe, I'm ahead of today's list

Happy Birthday for yesterday pigpen xx

Welcome to Nathsmum xx

I'm ready for work (as in washed, dressed, made pack up - might take a little longer to mentally adjust ) and I've made the bed.

Rubbish and recycling are ready to go - I was just waiting for a little daylight before I venture out. I'll also feed the birds before I set off.

Now comes the challenge: keeping on track whilst working full time and out of the house 8 (ish) 'til 4.45 (ish). I hereby give flyladies permission to throw sticks and fluffy mules when required and to kick my proverbial if that looks like it's failing;).

2018 will be the YEAR! I'm with you Nathsmum :beer:

Have a good day everyone. Hugs, spoons, sticks and posivibes are waiting for collection as required.

Don'f forget to have fun.

List is up for today. It’s more of a survival list! Do what you can:p:p

Good morning all. Another lie in till 7.30, thanks doggies. DH already at the paid stuff.

Dancemum - hugs. I found professional advice helped. I'm not sure of the age of your DS but the school pointed us in the right direction. And all these things do pass.

I'm about to make some parsnip and stilton soup - thanks LW and JoJo.

Will also take a look at the list, as the weather is damp so even my maybe jobs are off the radar for today.

Have a great day everyone.

Dancemum being violent is worrying, we are lucky that it has only happened once or twice with DS but I know how out of control he can become when his emotions boil over. I am worried about how much he is drinking at the moment and the fact that he is relying on alcohol too much to cover his social awkwardness. Sorry but when it comes to getting help I have no faith in the system whatsoever.

Back to the days plans. I am starting to feel the need to tidy. Best wine glasses and cutlery to pack away, recycling to sort, presents to rehome and the fridge to go through. We really need some food shopping too.

I am also having a good look at my finances and drawing up a realistic budget. I need to have an honest chat with DH about work and money at some point which will not be easy.

Have a good day everyone - is it Wednesday already!?

Dizzy_Imp

It's done! Christmas and Boxing Day finished for another year! I survived and (secretly) quite enjoyed it all.

Welcome Nathsmum - this group is super friendly, so I hope you'll enjoy being part of the gang x Looks like Roundtuit will be cheering you on

Big hugs Dancemum. I've got no advice for you as I haven't got any experience of what you go through daily with your DS, but really hope you can get some professional help v. soon xxx

BoyDog off to the vets this morning - DH says he will take him in a mo, which means I can make a start clearing up!

Catch you all later

Morning all
Supporting hugs Dancemum x
Welcome to nathsmum
Hope everyone is as well as they can be, woke to a white over here but it's turning to slush now with the promise of freezing later. Stay safe all and don't venture out if you haven't got to. X
