Hi L ....hoping your sleep patterns are getting more on track ..makes you feel in a twilight zone when you don't get enough sleep ...its all a bit mixed up with clocks going forward too ...always throws me this time of year and am up earlier...

Hoping your worries over your eldest are subsiding...kids can be cruel cant they?.

Thinking Simba could be in training for a big ROAR..

Hugs and sleeps...Rach n Doo xx

One big roar with a letter to the headmaster this morning and would you believe it a phone call to my mum(i was at work) at lunchtime to discuss eldest.Amazing how one letter carefully written for maximum affect works.I am a happy mummy and eldest is a happier eldest:0)

Still tired and another eary night tonight but all is well.

Stay Strong

Hi E,

Haven't been reading or posting much lately, so good to see that you are feeling positive and on top of things.

Sounds like a triumph with the Headmaster - pat on the back for that! it is hard to word things right to get the right response - especially when your mummy instinct is to attack anyone causing probs for your kids.

I have many days, where I feel I am channeling the ghost of Frank Spencer, so feel for you on the ditzy key locking palava! everyone acts like a numpty sometimes, lol.

Take care missus!

Evening.

Nice easy day today,my dad and stepmum came for their monthly visit,eldest got his printer,LO got a tshirt and my dad gave me half the money towards eldest's new bedroom furniture which was a bit of a shock as he's never given me anything to speak of in 40 years.So will go and get that next week and eldest rooms all done.

A few thoughts of gambling have crossed my mind this weekend but nothing major so alls good.

Hope everyone had a good one.

Stay Strong

Sounds like you had a weekend of normality. Stress-free from not being in the red and family coming over.

Long may this continue!

Thankyou Rach and GT,

I think ive worked out why i feel differently now,

I feel alot calmer, i've finally lost that panicky feeling i seem to have been carrying around with me for god knows how long.I dont wake up worrying,i don't stomp around in a bad mood,my eldest hasn't asked me what's wrong for months now something he used to do alot when i was gambling as i always looked cross or worried.

Money is still an issue for me but i think it is for everyone at the moment with the economic climate we are living in.

Wanted to take the kids abroad this year but it looks as though its not going to happen so i'm looking at going camping havent done that for many years but it means the kids get a holiday and its cheap.Just got to figure out where to go :0)

Stay Strong

Thankyou Rach WUUF WUUF Dots.

Looked at cornwall last night, in fact even a weeks camping is going to cost alot more than i thought so looking closer to home.Camping is supposed to be cheap but looking at prices for pitches etc i was very surprised its not really that cheap.

Feeling irritable today putting it down to hormones.

Stay Strong

Hi Liz, just been catching up on your posts, it must feel really good to be caught up on all the bills and thinking of taking the family camping, which is really fun.

I know that now sites are quite expensive to camp per night, we go away fairly regularly and often we pay quite alot per night. If you are going for a week or more it may be cheaper to book a caravan already on a site, have a check out on the internet or even locally in like newsagents windows. Really if the weather is nice it doesn't matter where you are, in this country it is just pot luck.

Hope you can find somewhere, nice to have something to look forward too. Well done you and pleased to read that you feel really calm just now, keep that calm going. Hugs xxx

Hi Libby.....yes ...those sites can be a bit steep and guessing they are charging over and above for the facilities....

Could do with old farmer and wife nearby the sites who rent out their field or something ..Some of these farm shops do that now as extra income...

Will keep my eyes and ears open as a few pals have young ones and are down that way a lot.

Thinking of you hun and hoping the cubs are all ok...((((((L))))))))
