Morning all!

Washing is the theme for today here too LOL

other than that trying to do some room rescues and get routines going again...

Also waiting for heating engineer to sort hot water...(dismal cold shower yesterday LOL)

Feeling a bit low today....I seem to have a sink after stressful times , was the same when we got back from Ireland.... seem to go on autopilot to cope in the midst of it, then sink afterwards. Also worrying about cost of car and lack of money LOL ..... contemplating going back to work , which is also stressing me out...
....still will try to keep busy and motivate myself as that normally helps pull me round....

Right will go crack on BBL

Hi again. Lunchtime .

Somehow I started a new thread and then posted on the old one . Here is list:
Today:
laundry
email holiday pictures to various people
declutter bedroom

tea I will attempt to link to audiobook. I have now finished it - feeling very tranquil .

galen I am also prone to a touch of post traumatic stress after a crisis. I have developed a fear of driving long distances alone with DC after my spectacular breakdown in Birminham in Feb (DH also has a fear as he had to come and rescue us). I do think you have had more than your fair share of upheavals this summer though, you need a period of stability to get your breath back. Don't contemplate work yet if you can possibly help it.

leo hi - well done with the list

saga LOL at the non delivery

BBL after work.

tea don't overdo it.

sag and tea I didn't know the first thing about Buddhism (I only bought the book because I subscribe to Audible for DS Famous Five audio books and I get free credits so clicked on that one). But it is lovely. Part anger management part anxiety management and part child rearing with a little bit of spirituality thrown in .

Done - nothing.

Hello All and welcome tro Leo

Been busy here and out all day. I took Ed to buy some new school jumpers and got waylaid by Wilkinson's and the new Poundland Also got Ed's huge mane cropped and my hair cut too.

Ed was so very good today I let him have a happy meal lunch. He was so very happy with that . Also got him some Playmobil people (he's gone mad for those ATM) and some replacement (easier for mum to manage) poster paints. Now he's fussing with his rocks he got on holiday (Eek )

DH at the football tonight so at least the house won't get messed up
