Still in bed :( :( :( :( :(

Meeting friend in 40mins. And I have done nothing (apart from finish the book I was hooked into...)

HellesBelles396 · 10/02/2013 12:52

ok - am up, both fed and level 2'd.

TheSilveryPussycat · 10/02/2013 13:33

been on phone to DM for nearly an hour. Bath is run, I'll actually get in it in a minute...

HellesBelles396 · 10/02/2013 14:05

we're doing well silvery Grin

EdwiniasRevenge · 10/02/2013 14:28

Im up and in tesco.

But still so much ahead of me.

And so sleepy.

TheSilveryPussycat · 10/02/2013 14:37

clean, talons cut, and level 3. I must go out somewhere - think I will drive over to see a friend (no, no that one)

HellesBelles396 · 10/02/2013 14:44

Careful of drive home then ed!

Here's a little insight into my family relationships: what DM did next

EdwiniasRevenge · 10/02/2013 17:44

Right.

Im home.

I have 15 hours to pack and sleep and sort house (empty fridge etc.)

Anyone fancy making a list to make sure I dont miss anything (packing for 4 days at centre parcs...)?

NanaNina · 10/02/2013 17:57

Oh glad you explained what was happening Ed I was beginning to wonder if...........sounds like you will get some R & R. We have been to Center Parcs quite a few times - will you be able to use the spa and massage etc. Don't know if you're a swimmer or which one you are going to but we always go to Whinfell Forest in the Lakes district and there is an outdoor pool but heated to 80 centigrade and it's wonderful to swim and look up at the stars!

It's going to be muddy I guess, so wellies or strong boots I reckon. Hope you have a lovely time, and "zone out" when you need to.

I'm really worrying about people worrying about stopping in bed till late morning. It's beginning to sound like we are taking crack cocaine in our bedrooms!! With all those gloomy faces. I have given myself permission to stay in bed on bad days till 1.00 at latest. I know I have the time to do this cus of not having young children or work, but let's cut ourselves some slack. Been speaking to a close friend today and she has helped me enormously but she mentioned she didn't think it was a good idea to stay in bed so late, so I said I hear what she is saying but am not taking it on board. I've always hated getting up in the morning and when I was at work I would lie in till 12 or so at the weekends. This was all back in those wonderful days before the Headmonster made his appearance!

Khalessi · 10/02/2013 18:09

Hi all, I am de-lurking! Love this thread! Today I was level 2, then had a bath & back to level 1. I'm back in bed having been up for 6 hours...
I look forward to getting to know some mn's.

SnowyMouse · 10/02/2013 18:17

I've survived the crisis team's visit, today's tip being to watch some tv. I'm looking forward to getting their visits reviewed tomorrow. I'm still level 2.

Enjoy Center Parcs!

HellesBelles396 · 10/02/2013 18:22

I have ds though, nina who didn't get breakfast til 12 - again!

maintained level 2, did a little work for uni course, spent most of day mning though.

EdwiniasRevenge · 10/02/2013 18:29

Hi khal

Love the fact that the levels have caught on...

...but why am I rooted to my sofa...

HellesBelles396 · 10/02/2013 19:01

things I usually forget:

undies
deodorant
medications!!
pj's
comb
toothpaste

EdwiniasRevenge · 10/02/2013 19:08

Medication!

I forgot to take yesterdays and am like a zombie today....

Im still stuck to sofa tho. I cant believe I have so much to do and I dont feel like I can move

HellesBelles396 · 10/02/2013 19:11

because you have so much to do!

how about just putting cases on bed? nothing else.

EdwiniasRevenge · 10/02/2013 19:14

evening all and hi to khal

ed to break down what you need to do - it wont be so hard then. I would love a few days in CP! just think - it will be lovely, peace, quiet,(well - i know you have the kids with you but!!) walks, cosy nights in with a bottle of wine....just a change of scene will do you good.

dont forget your make up bag for those bonus points.....
hair dryer?
straighteners?
soap
cleanser/toner/face cream
hair bobbles and brushes
washing up liquid
t - towel
are towels and bedding included?
meds
are you taking any food with you? booze?
CDs and CD player or ipod
ill carry on thinking......

we always forget something....usually dog food. (she comes on hols with us!)

do you have all your clothes washed to pack or is that what you are putting washer on for? if so as it comes out of drier throw what you want to take in one pile. Then you can just do a knicker and sock count when you pack it - do you iron before packing or when you get there?

im absolutely shattered. going for a bath in a min and then to bed i reckon pretty soon - been at stables again and ended up staying until riding instructor left, so only been in about an hour- i had my lesson much later today. i smell of horse so must go for that bath....i had to be up early today to walk dog before going to stables, where i have mucked out nearly all the stables so im truly knackered.

tomorrow i need to phone doctors and see if i can get another sick note. Builders will be back for the garden so i will have to stop up. I could really do with a lazy day....must remember to phone doctors....

HellesBelles396 · 10/02/2013 20:35

how was the riding instructor today without the children's lessons, vicar?

ed have you been to get cases from the loft yet?

EdwiniasRevenge · 10/02/2013 20:52

I cant do this. I have sorted out food and kitchen supplies...and now I am stuck.

I am almost sitting here crying I am so overwhelmed. I havent cried in months. My heart is pounding.

Why am I stupid enough to have agreed to this

you absolutely can do this ed and do it you will - I have absolute faith in you. just break it all down into smaller tasks and do one at a time.

unfortunatelyanxious I have felt that way, divorced from all sensation. never felt hot, cold, hungry, thirsty. constantly and dispassionately observing yourself and, almost, wondering what you would do next...

horrible. I'm sorry if you feel that way now as, looking back, I'm still scared that I felt that way. I had no fear because I genuinely didn't care if I lived or died. hope that's not your situation atm.

TheSilveryPussycat · 10/02/2013 21:48

ed there is a shop there, tho tis a tad expensive, and Penrith not far away I think?

With me, in a packing situation, I would suddenly get into gear and do it in one swoop (though cases not in loft!) very late, although have to say this risked burn out.

do you usually have problems starting to pack?

EdwiniasRevenge · 10/02/2013 21:49

Right.

I have all of dcs clothes folded on my bed.

Im in the middle of doing mine but have a serious devoid wardrobe. ..

I have to face xps family tomorrow....I need to wear something uplifting (as in mood uplifting)...

Gah....

Can I leave it all dumped on my bed and sleep in dtds bed tonight????

EdwiniasRevenge · 10/02/2013 21:52

Nope.....we are going to thetford so I hope penrith is miles away.

I am not normally this late...normally have everything started and laid out 3 days in advance. But atm everything in my life is last minute....I stay in bed until I risk being late...

Gah....
Onwards and upwards

I feel so stupid for leaving it this late
