Welcome one and all!

Because of a depressing thread I started a couple of days ago I have felt enough courage from the kind words you have given me to start a positive thread about how I will go from grumpy, teary, depressed, hopeless me to a more positive me.

I have pinpointed having a shower every day as a good start to feeling better, hence the name.

Hope lots join me and share what they want to change in their life to feel better. big or small, whatever you feel you want to work towards.
We can help each other

right well, I just took gecko to dh and said I was going to pop for a shower which is HUGE in itself as I hate getting wet and would rather just lie on the couch with chocolate if kids are asleep or dh has gecko......

and there was NO F'KING hot water grrrrr

hoping for a better start tommorow

Read the other thread - fabulous name for this thread! Looks like you are on your way

luckylady74 · 24/07/2007 21:23

what a fab idea i'm trying to think of a positive way of saying i will not eat butter sanwiches or other crap - perhaps i'll try for 3 healthy meals?
good luck with your shower - as i was thw one that suggested a flannel wash in the morning - i know how hard achieving that can be - i tried for a BATH on sunday as it was my birthday lol, but got a small puddle instead.

My morning shower really sets me up TR

Trinityrhino · 24/07/2007 22:14

well WOW
after the no hot water thing I left gecko with daddy and although he brought her back down to me after 1/2 an hour because she has pooped he said it was fun to play with her and then

was very happy to feed her a bottle of expressed BM
said he was happy to do it often to help her get used to a bottle so that nana can sit her and then said

'and then I can have her and you can go out if she will take a bottle'

wooohoooo
there is little things that we can change and do together to make everyone happier

Morning Trinity

Well we have breakfasted, although dd is still sat at table eating hers
Ds has a new nappy on but no clothes.

When dd is ready, I will shower and then I need to hoover.

Actually might do it the other way round.

Nbg · 25/07/2007 08:16

Thats a fab start!
