Hi there hunni xx
Oh you have got your hands full haven't you?
Give yourself a bit of time to adjust to working again...it might take a few weeks to get into a routine that you're happy with, so don't be too hard on yourself! Xx
And kick hubbys butt into gear too! Xx

Blimey, I'm shattered just reading that post
Hope Harry's feeling a bit better.
You will have to tell your husband exactly what you want him to do. Don't just expect him to do the washing cos the washing baskets full or to carry something up the stairs etc. Men are a bit simple if you just accept that he's one of the kids it makes life a lot easier.
Rely on friends and family for help too. Don't wait for them to offer just ask them for help.
Most impotantly just try and rest whenever you can. Even if you only get 5 minutes in the bath to yourself it will help a bit.
Sorry about the house and I hope something turns up soon for you all

thanks guys for your kind words of wisdom, perhaps i was being a little too harsh on my husband - he does work hard, i just think perhaps i've taken on too much with the beauty side of things whilst harry is so young, the point of me trying to make a go of it is to reduce or give up my antisocial shifts 2-9, but all its causing me right now is lots of extra stress i must manage my time better !
EE
bfast: 2 nimble toast /marmite (2 syns spread) + shape yogurt
lunch: few slices ham, savoury rice + nectarine
dinner: jacket potato, broccoli & grated cheese, fruit salad
extras: pkt french fries (6 syns?)

right im back !!! missed you all
yes hands up had bit of a blip .. actually laptop had to go in for repair so diet went to pot a little as didnt have to keep recording what i was eating, made half hearted attempt on paper then sw meeting changed venue - twice and basically can no longer attend as way too far to walk to with the buggy, was just up road when first changed hadnt realised it was only temporary - then she announced might be changing weigh in date too so no good to me as work shifts and thurs was only day could do
oh well .. have 2 choices - give up and pig out and stay this size or put on more forever, or TRY and do slimming world from home .. its going to be EVEN HARDER but going to give it a go - will put money in a jar and if lost my goal of 5lbs a month treat myself to bit makeup, haircut, and eventually smaller items of clothings - thats £20 a month, not to be sniffed at!!!
so im back, and have actually lost 2lbs - dont think through dieting though probably all the excercise now getting at work .. but at least my weight is going in the right direction .. DOWN!!!
so weighing in at 15st11lbs - goal number 1 to lose 10lbs by last day of sept .. logged on to sw web site and this is what it said i could lose, so bring it on .. food diary starting tomorrow

Well done

I actually hand on heart find my lovely lovely friends on here far more use than any meeting. THey've helped me through the hard times, inspired me, encouraged me and given me a kick up the ass if I needed one. They are full of good advice, recipes, fun to be around. Who could ask for more ??welcome back xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

aww thanks jackieN .. you're welcome
sorry only just seen your 'welcome back' message .. our posts must have crossed
i think some quotes can be so comforting .. im also really into symbolism .. when we lost our baby in 08 the lady who took the funeral service gave fleur a little book called 'waterbugs and dragonflies' a gentle story to help explain death to young children .. it was so comforting and afterwards whenever needed reassurance or comfort we seemed to keep seing 'dragonflies' everywhere it was really strange. then when harry was born 2 months prem by emergency c section, first thing i noticed when i eventually came round was a beautiful dragonfly tattoo on the inside of the midwifes wrist as she adjusted off my mask - i knew straight away harry would be ok! and again when he had a hernea op at 8 weeks old and i had to stay in hospital with him - dragonfly wall stickers above his cot. sorry waffling on,
and prob sound like a crazy woman but really think there is something in it, and if there isnt - well its a comforting coincidence anyhow, lol
need to have good look around few food diaries for some inspiration now, keep eating same food and panicking when run out, lol
