    I have a spray in the bathroom and a spray in the kitchen, then bleach for the floors/toilet.

    I also have a bottle of Zoflora on the go.

    Hope you are all better today. My DD has a raging temp and been sick once too :(

    Not feeling it today, BF is in a foul mood. I’m all over emotional as I’m tired as had 2 hours sleep. BF has told me to go to sleep when the children sleep tonight which is all good and well but I don’t feel like I’ve seen him all week due to everyone being poorly. And he gave me right tough love about it and then proceeded to clean as that’s his OCD. And now we’re really late for going to the beach which I thought would be a good way to clear out the cobwebs. I’ve been to Lidl this morning and was in an awful frame of mind and bought myself costa too, as was trying to get the children to drink eat anything and they managed a babycinno and flake so that was good, obv not at all healthy but since I have managed to get them to eat an oat cake, so in total I have spent £47. Wondering why I bother. Roo is completely better and May is on the mend.

    Really not happy ��

    Sounds like you're having one of those days Missy :( The main thing is the children are on the mend.

    BF seems to have your best interests at heart and I'm sure the time you spend together will be better if you're not falling asleep on him.;)

    You just have to write some days off with money and life in general so don't be too hard on yourself. It's the beginning of a new week tomorrow so a good time to start over.

    Try and make the most of what's left of today. Hope you get to the beach. x

    Oh no, sorry to hear you feel like that. It must be hard being a mum and also being a partner especially if it's a fairly new relationship. Hope you can work things out. Have you spoken to him about how you feel. Maybe you're just over-tired and are thinking things that haven't even crossed his mind. x

    Very well said.

    I hope today's a better day for you and the family. We all have them sort of days, remember.
