God I cannot get myself motivated today. Some good friends are unable to make DS' party in April and I'm upset out of all proportion . Has really deflated me and I just want to go to bed and sleep.

Oh Ali i get like that sometimes and let myself get all sad you could always invite them weekend before or after???

ComeWhine - lucky! so are the 4 older girls going to be in together? does ds have his own room? and baby in with you?

((((Hugs ali)))) .

JKS we are in a big three bedroom atm the three girls are in the biggest room and ds has his own room and we are in with dd4 who is meant to sleep in with the other girls but has her own ideas on this .

I am hoping the new bottom bunk will tempt her (and a new dora quilt cover) .

I love this house but we are going to start looking for a 4 bed soon .

Baby will be in with us .

Afternoon I had a really long post done at 12 but mn broke so I see it didn't post
Anyway can't remember what it said now

Have to go do schoolruns, and haven't got much done, went to visit my aunt today when I was down in Belfast do my banking
she told me that my dad was talking about dds communion, thats all she said, so have just wasted spent the last hour disscussing the possibilty of him turning up, will have to bring it up with mum

just as things were getting a little less tense, and just as I was starting to look forward to it unstead of thinking I can't wait for it to be over, but then tere will always be family things and I can't do this everytime (sorry waffling now)

Anyway I'm going to get my paint tomorrow yey (still haven't decided 100%, I'm hoping when I get to homebase that will make me chose)

Oh PBM families are a pita sometimes

Yum (will never slim for communion at this rate)

I just keep saying its not going to anoy me anymore but I will just have to not let it run my life anymore as it was for a long time

Right off to school

Thanks CWWM cold still here but not enough to feel sorry for myself anymore

hope none of your other dcs get sick

I'm in good form going to get my paint tomorrow

And my family has always been a pain its just sad because there is only me and my brother and hes not much use for support or anything but telling me his problems
Anyway I could go on forever, What about you has your mum come round to the babies name?

My mum is still caling the baby Daisy but we all laugh at her ! I've changed my mind on the babies name it is not Violet anyway still undecided though .

Families confuse me there are so many people on Mn with problems in their family I always thought it was just me .

Good luck with the paint search .
