* Got loads of washings done, so I could spend time with Mhairi!

) in her walker and she whizzed about all over the place, having a ball!
* Mhairi has eaten well today!

Hi girls,
Lainey, I'm so pleased you had a good sleep! DD has started reaching out her arms for me to pick her up now, which is so cute! GL, congrats on the Auntie news!
My positives from today:-
* I went on two (yes, count them, two!) more than hour long walks today with DD - one round a local beauty spot lake where we saw some gorgeous ducks (DD was fast asleep - typical!) and one to a local ruined castle
* I had a big long chat with OH about lots of things and sorted out maybe starting my business!
* DD started waving today!
* OH made me breakfast in bed and ran me a lovely hot bath this morning! He must be after something!?!
* DD has been great with her food yet again and ate french toast (eggy bread) for the first time herself
* I spoke to my mobile phone contract people - I'm eligible for an upgrade and will get a snazzy new phone soon!
* I got babysitting sorted for Friday morning for my final PND counselling session

Had a lovely busy weekend and not had chance to post so here goes:

Went to the gym
Went to see the in laws and had a BBQ
Went home late after a lovely day
Negative thoughts seem to be less and i really enjoyed the day (i never thought i would say that again)
Sunday:
Went to the trafford centre with my sister shopping
Went to meet my partner at his mums
Made a lovely meal
Started making my own sling
Felt really tired today but coped quite well.

Well peeps!
Today was a bit strange as Mhairi and I were stuck in the kitchen ALL day because we have plasterers in, and the weather was crap, so we couldn't even go for a walk!
* Mhairi slept till 7.50!!! Unfortunately she picked the one night that I couldn't sleep!
* We got to spend some serious quality time together.....coz we were locked in the kitchen!!
* I *think* what I've posted about in Adult is a positive! Still feel a bit shakey about it all, but hopefully I'm now on the right track!
Hope everyone else had a good day!
to all of you....you're doing great!

Hi girls,
Have replied to your post in Adult section Lainey .
My positives from today (was rubbish day as DD was miserable and whiney - very unlike her and it pished it down all day - I felt like running away most of the day!)
* OH got his payslip - he got a cost of living award and we are £50 better a month that we hadn't accounted for which will really help us with our budgets - things are really tight just now.
* I had a great positive meeting with someone re. starting my new business - I really think it might work!
* I watched last night's Desperate Housewives that I'd recorded
* I had a sneaky disco nap in the afternoon
* DD pulled herself up to standing from sitting holding onto our hands

Glad to hear your all having positives
Today I got weighed and although I ate like a pig this weekend and even had macdonalds I lost 5 1/2 pounds
I was at work and really enjoyed it
I came home to pick up Jack from nursery and I love that feeling when you dont see them all day, just wanted to squeeze him!

Felt low when i got up today. Jessica was moaney all day yesterday because she was ill and i was really tired so that is probably why.
Todays positives:
Went to see councellor for 1st time
Got a few bits of shopping from the trafford centre
Did some ironing
Went out for lunch
Picked Ben up from school and had a nice evening. Going to the gym now and picking up grand theft auto on the way

Hey Lucy!
That sounds like a good day, even though you were tired you still found the positives!
Mine for today are -
* Got up, had a shower, put my face on!
* Went to tesco and got the shopping done
* Went to Mhairi's other Gran's (I'm being the adult in this situation, as I really don't want Mhairi's relationship with her put in jepordy!)
* Invented a new game with Mhairi where I sit at the table and when she's in the walker I say "Get over here" over and over again, she comes speeding over, laughing, and when she gets to me I moosh her cheeks. Send her flying off again and repeat....she loves it!
* My dad has cooked pot roast and it is in the oven as I type.....smells FAB!!

Is it a roast dinner like roast chicken/beef etc?Hi Valentine!
You had a faby day!
A pot roast (in this house anyway!) is when you get a roasting joint (whole), stick it in a casserole dish, chop up carrots, neep, parsnip, onion, throw it all in, add some stock/oxo and this is where I'm crap coz we have an aga so ermmmmm you would put it on at 220 for 30 to 45 mins and then 140 for an hour. Or you can put it in the slow cooker in the morning and it's ready for tea!
Just realised that you probably could have done with just "meat, veg in the one pot"

Mmm - just in from fab girly night out at the pub. I had 2 lime & sodas and spent £2.40! Felt like a skinflint, but needs must and I still had a brilliant time.
More positives from today:-
* I only spent £2.40 while at the pub for 3+ hours tonight - still had a brilliant time and such a good laugh even though I was stone cold sober and very frugal
* I forgot to mention earlier that I updated lots of Facebook photos of DD today
* And (how could I forget?), DD was 9 months old today!
P.S. I've just remembered my washing is still on the line outside - I'll have to hope it doesn't rain overnight!
Hope you all have fantastic days tomorrow.

Excellent idea for a thread!! 
My positive for today was despite being angry with my brother, making myself see how much I love him and helping him practice for his theory tomorrow
Oh, and I made a HUGE f*ck up at work recently and it was discovered today after I'd tried to hide it for the past few weeks lol Anyway, I'm going to be a big girl and take the wrap off another colleague who's position at the company is alreday in jeopardy - I have a meeting with the MD tomorrow and will have to explain (that will probably turn into a negative by tomorrow after a rollicking and a warning lol)

Dannii - Hello and welcome!!! I'm sure you'll find something positive to look back on from today!
My day was good!
* Got up and went to my uncles shop, spent a while chatting and my mum ordered the new tv for the kitchen
* Mhairi made me laugh and go Awwwww at the same time (see picture section!)
* Took Mhairi to her other grans and went for a pub lunch with my mum and aunt
* Got a shower and put my makeup on, I was going to blowdry and straighten my hair, but I looked outside at the pissing rain and thought "Why bother!"
* Picked Mhairi up and spent some quality time with her
* Her teething necklace arrived from paradysso's site (thanks Elaine!) so she is sporting a snazzy amber necklace!
* My big one for today - I went to the priest with Mhairi's future god parents for my baptism class! I'm not a catholic, but Mhairi's Dad is, and I think it is important for a child to have a faith, so I agreed to have her baptised into the catholic church! I thought we were going to have problems with me being COS, not being with her Dad anymore etc. But it was great! We had a right laugh with the priest and I didn't get struck by lightning!!!
* My wee lamb is fast asleep and dreaming, and I'm going to join her soon!

Not a good day today. Well it started off good then went down hill from there. Took Jessica to playgroup she was fine then all of a sudden she went white, her eyes started rolling and she went limp. I took her to a and e and they said she had a temp of 39 and tonsilitis. I am scared of leaving her because she is so poorly.
Positives??????
attempted playgroup
made tea
Cuddled Jessica loads
read ben a nice story before bed
I hope she feels better tomorrow

Oh Lucy! to you and Jessica! The poor wee baba!
You still managed to find positives from today, even if they didn't really feel like it!
I hope Jessica feels better tomorrow.....she's got a great mummy to look after her, so I'm sure she will!
