Morning All

I have a really sore throut, neck and a blocked up nose, sat here feeling sorry for myself, as everytime I close my mouth I wake up, as I can not breath

So Mission

I think today should be an homage to the wise old Bird Ruby and Have named it Ruby Tuesday in her honour.

I am still thinking wobmy, whale like sounds and sticky thoughts (although I still have no idea as to why when visualising them, I get the whale noises in the background) cant hurt through EHM can it?

Tort Hope you manage to get a little more done this am - set that time for 15 mins and go for it, bin bag in hand

SO FLY buds, I have taken the tablets, emptied the DW, loaded the WM and am going to try to go back to sleep. If not there may be more Mad ramblings

TrinityRhino · 11/03/2008 09:46

thankyou so much TMHi can't cat but may decide to pay for it soon

you sound like you have more reason to be having trouble than me

I feel that my kids have already suffered because of me

that is what made me go to the docs yesterday to start to get it sorted.

EHM · 11/03/2008 09:49

FunkyGoldStar · 11/03/2008 10:31

trinity -= her problem not yours. You need to focus on yourself. Doc appointment is the best start. Cleaner also good. Take everything in babysteps, (not just the housework) and it will all come good.

damewashalot · 11/03/2008 10:31

trinity

Was going to post stuff but have done nothing so need to shift myself, tired as was up too much of the night with ds3 who was awake for no apparent reason but sad and now I've been told on the school run how tired I look by people I feel like sitting in the corner and not moving but will try and finish my morning routine then check in.

Bianca have replied to email

Grouchyoscar · 11/03/2008 10:39

*Trinity your feeling blue. Sorry your friend has done that to you.

I also battle with depression and anxiety. Mental health issues seem to run in my family and I know the damage it can do to those around the sufferer. Good on you for going to sort it out. TMH is right, it is an illness like anything else

Ludaloo · 11/03/2008 10:39

Hi

Have managed to sort the house out (not that much needed doing really!)

Bianca I have been chatting to DH, we might go and visit SIL next weekend instead, give her time to get over the cesarean, and give us a bit more time to organise ourselves. The kids all break up next Thursday for the 2 week easter break, so we wouldn't be in a hurry to come back, I could maybe come over with the kids and say hello
Will have to chat with SIL and see what she thinks, and when is convenient for her.

Trinity I agree with TMH, don't be sad, we all need a little help along the way Glad little Gecko is ok now...I read your thread, it must have been very traumatic. My DS gets very high temps for no specific reason, and is very prone to febrile convultions, which make us all panick! I hope gecko isn't too poorly with it.

Ruby ooooooh my sincerest sympathies for your DD2 being sick is grim
Hope she recovers soon.

Welcome to dylsmum
I agree, decluttering is the best place to start...get rid of all the clutter and then you can focus on tidying.

Ludaloo · 11/03/2008 10:43

gosh I spent so long writing that out, there are loads of posts!

Trinity oh dear....that is horrid, but just remember it isn't anything you have done, it is her problem not yours, so concentrate on you not her.

TrinityRhino · 11/03/2008 10:44

thankyou evereyone, you are being sao kind
I'm sorry, I'm not sure whether I hsould post this kind of stuff on the fly thread
kind of mucks up the positiveness of it

I had to tell someone thiough

I'm really struggling today, keep holding gecko tight to me
keep crying

Grouchyoscar · 11/03/2008 10:57

Trinity ...FLY is not just here for housework, we're here for support too.

Mail me at [email protected] I'll be online until about 12:30
