New year so I thought a new thread was in order. I don’t really normally hold much stock with ‘New Year’ but as 2018 was a bit of a challenge, this seems as good time as any to sit back and breathe ..... My bible study today reminded me to put my hopes and dreams, and worries, in God’s hands so I’m going to try really hard this year to do that.
Thank you all for all the support and love you’ve shown me in the past year - I couldn’t have done it without you (Kiss)
Of course you could have! You're an amazingly strong woman, it's just that support makes it that little bit easier (panda)
Happy New Year Paula. I hope that 2019 brings you much happiness xx
I really hope that you find this year easier and happier than last year was. I'm keeping you in my prayers.
Pfft you'd have done it without us, but it's more fun doing things together!
May 2019 be easier for you lovely....
Thanks, guys ;)
As your avatar says "Keep Calm and Sparkle On" which you do admirably, here's wishing you an easier year, cheers (tea) <-- imagine this smiley is glass of wine or a gin and tonic ;)
How are you today love?
Tired but I needed to do some housework - I managed cleaning Katie’s bathroom, hoovering and washing the kitchen and living room floors, and hoovering the downstairs hall. Si came home early to take Jess out for a driving lesson - she’s got her practical test on Friday. It means he’s here when the shopping turns up, which will help big time.
Other than that, I intended to do some cross stitch but it didn’t happen. Tomorrow I’m seeing my friend, having my nails done and seeing mum and dad as they’re in the area for a hospital appointment. Oh, and nagging Jess to do her college work ;)
Please try and pace hunni xx
Pace love, please?
So, I got my dates wrong re when my cleaner was returning from hols and she’s back tomorrow. Which is fantastic but I do feel a bit annoyed with myself as I could have sat down for a bit instead of trying to clean .... I will say, though, if it ever comes to a choice between Si and Mariola, my marriage vows might be challenged ;)
J's cleaner is called Sandra. A misheard. So now Santa cleans his house! (giggle)
Oh oops!
So...... today went like this. My friend arrived for a coffee at 10.30. At 12.30 I told her I needed to eat, she didn’t want lunch. At 1.30 the dog walker turned up and at 1.45 my parents dropped in on their way to a hospital appointment. 5 minutes before my parents had to go, my friend left (at 2.30). A few minutes later was my nail appointment, which lasted twice as long as normal as the gels wouldn’t set. I finally had a quiet house at 4.30. I know all these things were good but I’m knackered ....
Crikey busy day
How is tomorrow looking? Chance to rest I hope?
Just thinking of all that is tiring me!! Sounds like you need a quiet one. (panda)Quote:

Bloody hell woman!!! You're a masochist!!! Saturday???
Saturdays free. Sunday’s my birthday and I’ve insisted I don’t want to go out anywhere.
Awk. I'm a January baby too. . Happy birthday for Sunday in case I forget. (party)(bear)Quote:

Nope. I’ve insisted we don’t have cake. We’ve got tons of chocolate left from Christmas, most of Katie’s birthday cake and I’m on a diet ;)
You're a stronger woman then I am!!!
Me too all the best people are born in January ;)Quote:

I’m usually over excited about my birthday but am really struggling this year - it just feels like yet more effort I don’t have the energy for.
It's your birthday, you do what you want. If that's vegging out on the sofa doing nothing then it's your birthday!
Sorry you're struggling lovely.... But Jaq is right. Definitely down to you what you want to do/not do.
Jess passed her driving test!! And she allowed me to hug her!!!
Woohoo!!! (party)
She drove me to work - I can get used to that ;) I’m so proud of her particularly because she does struggle when she’s stressed and nervous. The inspector said he’d expected to fail her after the first 10 minutes but she settled down and changed his mind!
And I had a good day at work as I managed to finish a job that was somewhat of a challenge and took me a few shifts. So all in all a good day.
Oooh. Having my daughter who holds me at arms length I am definitely more excited about the hug!!!
Well done Jess. So much to be proud if Momma Bear. X
Well done Jess you can have your own chauffeur now lol, and glad today went well at work hunni
So brilliant on every count!
Jess must be delighted with herself! I didn't pass on my first try, she must be a very good driver. Of course if she takes after her mum, she's brilliant at everything. If your birthday is on Sunday and you don't want to do anything, then you have my permission to do absolutely nothing!! ;)
I'm really not surprised that you don't want to do anything because you've been on the go since I came back here. You haven't stopped and that is bound to have an effect on your stamina and mood. Take it easy and relax.
I opened my post yesterday evening, only to find I’ve got to have a face to face assessment for my ESA WCA. To say i freaked out has to be an understatement .....
Logically you can't do anything about it now, so try to put it to the back of your mind. All you can do is go and answer as honestly as possible. Actually the actual f2f aren't that bad. I've been to loads now ;) Make sure you call and make them aware that you need space to put your foot up/mobility scooter access.
I totally get that. X(panda)Quote:
