    lol Michelle.. DS isn't energentic.. you are just shattered!!! In a few weeks when that bump is no longer a bump he will seem quite normal and bearable! I alwys felt like mine were on speed or something until after the birth then they seemed quite fine and I realised it was just me!
    :rotfl: :rotfl:


    DH says he is extra energetic too. I guess 3 weeks of him being ill also had an effect as he is a different kid now he is better.


    Last day at work. :j :j :j :j I survived. Thank you ladies for your little prods of encouragement. Look forward to some proper flying and being part of the gang again.

    Morning All.

    I know what people mean about feeling lonely etc. My best friend was my sister and I do tend to find that most people at my DS nursery are already in a group of friends and I don't really want to appear desperate!! It doesn't help that when I do see people I tend to have one eye on DD so feel that I can't really listen properly.

    I am thinking about doing a course or something to take me out of the house or maybe see if I can find myself a little job in a pub or something. I am so much more introverted than I was before I had children. Please don't get me wrong I would NEVER swap my children for anything. Well not until the become teenagers.

    DS had his friend round yesterday. WOW. They are to really independent children!


    Well I haven't even checked the list for today but I think that it is probably the bathroom today. Hope I can get that over with this morning so I can have some me time when DD and DS are at playschool

    Got myself weighed yesterday and I weigh *whispers* 8st 11. (I actually weigh 8st 11 1/2 but hoping that I can shift that 1/2 by next week. Sorry but when is the weigh in day. Does everyone have their own day? I really feel like I should go back to bed. Roll on tomorrow :D

    My troublesome neighbour is back from hospital (long story). Basically he causes me so much stress he makes me ill. However, this time I am going to say "no" to helping him. I find it very hard saying no.

    Haven't got much planned today. Hope everyone has a great day.

    AnwsMum - a meet up would be lovely, don't think we are too far, prehaps some others would be up for it too, we went to a lovely garden centre/shopping centre thing at J30 on M1 on Sat so prehaps somewhere would be easy for us to get to
    HUGS TO EVERYONE ELSE!

    Ah Dobbies, yes it's lovely there only opened up last year. We are about 4 miles from there. There are also a couple of play places not too far away, so plenty of options either kiddy style or kid free!
