Picking up the pieces again *SU Trigger*

[Strugglingmum]

The party went well. The youth all seemed to enjoy the silly party games and the even sillier prizes. Once they realised there were prizes they nearly murdered each other to win musical chairs.
I'm just glad its over. It's exhausting keeping the smiles in place and faking the fun although tonight I did enjoy seeing them having fun. I have no more commitments now til the dreaded Christmas Eve.
I've to go back up to the town tonight to collect my son from work at midnight. Tomorrow morning I'm not going to church as I'm going to lie in. I will go to the Carol service tomorrow night, there's a brass band playing and I do like carols.

That sounds lovely

That sounds like you did really well at the party, but I'm glad you're planning a rest day. The carols with brass band sound fabulous!

Nothing like silly party games, I'm glad it was fun.

Sometimes its good to fake it a little bit. And you did it and you did enjoy it. Thats the plus of faking it sometimes.

I hope today was nice with staying in bed for a while and that you enjoy the evening

How did your day go lovely?

[Paula]

Hi, lovely, how are you?

[Strugglingmum]

Hi all. Past couple of days have been very busy at the centre. Christmas dinner for 100 tomorrow so a lot of prep work in the kitchen . I finished today so I'm not back until the New Year.
I'm still plodding along. My appetite isn't great, but I'm still fighting for my swim regularly and its still helping. Planning to have a gentle few days and getting my hair done on Thursday. Hubby and I thinking of the cinema on Saturday to see Cats. I'll see how I'm feeling closer to the time.

I’m so proud of you, that’s a fab post!

I know things have not been easy for you. But reading your thread and posts like this give me strength. I am not joking. I think its so good that you do go swimming. And having ideas to go see a movie in the weekend. I try to think of that when I am feeling the way I do. Thanks for being a part of the community here.
