Hey all, well done on your losses.
I know I was craving to go back to work and I do love it when I am at work but the organisation at home is reaching military proportions. I know we will find an even keel eventually but the days I work the routines are all over the place. DD is loving school, thank goodness and baby has settled better at nursery but still cries when I drop her off to add to the guilt but at least she is only there for 3 days. Diet is going well, eating more this week in the evening meal and loving salads for lunch which dh prepares for us both. He is off at the market today to stock up on fresh fruit & veg, managing to drink water when at work but sticking to tea at home.
MsJMC, really you can have my place, I am not on the team as my results are not cd so are not entered anymore, I just stay on the board for a chat. Hope you are keeping that walking up, it is a great exercise but the kerbs here are a nightmare for the pram, still I walk dd to & from school on Mon & Tues so it is better than nothing.
Trisha, how is the term going? It is amazing how quickly you get going again as though they wasn't a break, it is just motivating the kids who seem permanently on holiday mode. I hate application forms, they've gone online now so it is easier to just save & update. Are you doing yours by hand?
Minivix, families can be so hard, the old adage on choosing your friends not your family rings so true. I have no relationship with my mum after her bitter divorce from my dad, saw her at my nan's funeral about 15 months ago and my sister and I had an argument with her and my aunt (her sister) at the graveside which was deeply upsetting but unavoidable. We haven't spoken since but she sends cheques to my girls and I bank them in their trust fund. My dad's new partner is lovely, we aren't close but we do get on but he says he would never marry again, although they are engaged and live together in her home. My Mil died 4 years ago so my dd calls dad's partner nanna as she is the closest she has & only one she knows. I am not in touch with any of my mum's side of the family and it is fine, we only used to meet up at christmas anyway.
