    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Hey all! I need you to keep me sane - my OH is currently at an interview (his first since the redundancy) and i'm faaaaaaar more nervous than he is! It's a fab job, good money and sounds prestigious (which will do us a favour when we move back up North, if he says he once worked there, haha) - but more than that I want him to get it to make himself feel good again - it's hard keeping him smiling some of the time and I know he hates relying on my wages..
    SO good Karma people!!! xxx


    yip, lotsa luck, good vibes etc etc Mr Bobbadog!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Haha! I do hope he finds out today, but I imagine tomorrow. Think they are only interviewing today for it! My fingers and eyes are crossed, I tell you!

    And Snaggles - thank you! He's very saucey, he's called Louis. He's supposed to be our 'Mortgage pig' but he's more of a 'raid it for bread and milk' pig at the moment. Bless him. He's quite a thin old ham really!!!! xx

    You are NOT alone,

    Once I knew that my two were happy to go I'd drop em and join the other Mums dancing down the nursery path waving their arms and shouting "FREEDOM!!!!!!"

    Agreed, I have guilt from:

    pushing baby in the pram scoffing chocolate out of view whilst feeding her healthy carrot sticks
    Using the TV as a babysitter
    Saying the tune on the ice cream van means he's run out!

    Hell no Bunny!!! I absolutely had no guilt about sending Erin to nursery, although mostly it was to go to work, but there were times when it was her booked session but i had a day off.... i may have pondered slightly as to whether to pay anyway(no choice) and keep her off, but i don't think i ever did.
