I do.

DS doesn't sleep well but he does go to his dad's two nights a week and so at least on those nights I get a solid nights sleep.

I am off to bed in a mo as my eyes are literally aching, but wanted to see if it is just me.

I am 27 but feel so worn out.

I would like more of a life, a hobby or two but just about have the energy for day to day stuff can't motivate myself to do any extra.

Same here, wake up feeling tired and have to drag myself out of bed, and pretty much follow DS to bed of an evening.

How old is your ds? I had my ds when I was 38 and was single from the start and yes i was knackered every single minute of the day! Now he's nearly 6 (eek I too am older than the new pm ) actually I am starting to feel less tired despite working longer hours (i teach, yet more kids arrgh!) Somehow since's he's got a bit bigger and less need to carry/ interact/ keep eye on every minute I've found I've got more energy! So don't despair If anything at least you are still a nice young mum!

yes, every day . Have a 40 mile motorway commute and get so scared I will do something daft.

I am also thinking about writing the single mums diet book, size 8 and dropping .

Whay I wouldn't give for a night of peace (DD is teething and DS wakes up early) and a good meal or two.

DS is 5, he has high functioning autism.

Meglet, I wish I was on that diet, I am eating too much (bored eating, comfort eating, eating choc for sugar rush, etc) I have put on weight and skin looks terrible too. .
