OUR Positives!!!

I cant wait too go, hunstanton is so boring!

Im going to hemsby on my holidays in July :cheer:
 
I'm feeling pretty down today so thought I'd post my positives of the last few days to prove it's not all bad!

*Dylan is feeling better - he was sick with a bug the last few days (first time he's ever been real sick)
*We went to Musical Minis last week for the first session and it was great - we both had a really good time
*Went for lunch with a friend and her son
*Bought some new clothes for going back to work and some for just wearing, and I'm now into a size 10 - woohoo!
*Had a BBQ last night for dinner and a few drinks with some family and it was a good night
*Made some weetabix cakes for Dylan and he loved them
*Found out some positive info about work and how to make more money in the first month
*My mum bought Dylan his first pair of shoes (he pulls himself up on his feet all the time now). He's never had shoes on before and my mum's a Podiatrist so we're into healthy feet!

Can't think of many more just now but at least that made me feel a bit better!

Can't think of many more just now

Hi girls!

I'm home! Was so lovely to read all your positives, you're all doing brilliantly at seeing all the good things there are in our lives (me included!)

My positives from the past couple of days:-

* I had a brilliant weekend and started to feel much more myself again - woo hoo! I've felt a bit detached since DD was about 4/5 months old and I am beginning to feel more like me. This is a really big deal to me!

* OH and I got on really well. We went for a date last night, to the cinema and had a lovely night. DD was as good as gold and didn't stir for her babysitters.

* Both DD's sets of grandparents enjoyed spending time with her and she was on brilliant form - so smiley and happy

* I went for a lie in on Sunday after being up for a couple of hours between 6am and 8am, I went back to bed until 9.30am - I felt so rested! This never usually happens!

* DD's third tooth is cutting, this time on the top - one of the side ones next to where the front ones will be

* We took some lovely family photos in the garden in the sunshine this afternoon of DD sitting in amongst the daffodils and tulips

* I saw a robin's nest with its 5 newly hatched baby robins!

* I made a patchwork quilt/baby blanket with my Mum for my friend's baby's christening next weekend - I am so so proud of myself and definitely going to do more patchwork!

* I am arranging a night out to the cinema and some cocktails with my girlfriends to go and see the Sex in the City film at the end of the month.

I hope you have lovely days tomorrow girlies!

Hello!

Welcome back Valentine! :hug:

You had a great weekend Sarah!

Lucy, you are doing brill, I'm so so glad that you feel you are getting somewhere!

Foxxi - I'm vewy vewy pwoud, vewy pwoud! :wink:

I've had a good day!

* The sun has got it's hat on!

* I ditched the dreamfeed last night and went back to feeding Mhairi when she wakens. I know it's a step backwards, but honestly, I was sooo exhausted and now it means I can go to my bed anytime I like and sleep, instead of waiting as long as possible to give her the dreamfeed (I'm THAT tried that I couldn't stay up past 10! :oops: ) So last night I went to bed at 9, Mhairi woke at 4.30, got fed and then went back to sleep for 2 hours! And to tag on to another Foxxi post - Man, I feel like a woman! :rotfl: :rotfl:

* Got upstairs tidied and ready for the weekend, so I can clean it tomorrow and get it all spick 'n' span!

* Got two tonne of washings done!

* My mum and I went and did a bit of shopping and we bought a fan for my room as it was 26 degrees last night! :shock: In Scotland!?!?!?! So all I can hear on the baby monitor is whiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! :rotfl:

* I sat outside the post office while my mum was doing her passport and I watched this ned couple. She was jiggling about in front of him and he was flicking her boobs and fooofooo (all done in jest). It made me laugh out loud as they obviously thought no one could see them....it's a positive coz I haven't laughed like that in ages!

* I went to tesco and did the big shop

* I'm off to the rugby club later to check out all the arrangements for Mhairi's christening.

* I have my first counselling session tomorrow......hopefully that will be a positive!

Hiya Gals :wave:

Well its been a tough day as some may know.. but wont go into too much in this section.. so here goes my positives:

* Went to the gp with what I felt a successful'ish result.. after opening up in the adult section and talking to my gp, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.. like a bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

* Had a good talk with my husband along with a few tears.. I thought it was best that I kept him in the picture.. I found this really tough to do, but at the end of our talk.. he gave me a big hug and told me he was proud of me.

* Enrolled to do 2 adult education courses in September one sign language and the other Spanish.. I've been wanting to do the Spanish one for years.. and after the day I've had, finally thought sod it, Im gonna do this..thought it would give me a bit of a pick-me-up.

And thats about it from me today. Hope y'all had a great day :)

Lainey - im elated that you've offered to be my text hoe.. but I aint playing no second fiddle to a bloke :wink: :rotfl:
 
Lainey I musta been posting mine when you where posting yours :?

Thanx chick..Im sorta proud of myself too... and a great big fat GOOD LUCK for your session tomorrow, I hope it goes well for you :hug:

Valentine - your last post made me smile... you sounded so much happier in how you typed (that sounds weird, but I know what I mean :D and we missed you!

Dont worry Lucy... Fynn fell off the sofa earlier after his nap.. he had a little cry and then soon forgotten about it. Jessica will be just fine.. she'll have no doubt forgotten about it already! :hug:
 
Must be a day for babies falling! Dylan fell off my bed today - I was getting ready and he just tok a dive and I couldn't stop him. He has a wee bump on his head :(

Anyway on the positive side:
*The sun has been shining and we've been out for long walks and played in the garden
*I've been putting Dyl into his cot before he falls asleep and managed to let him cry for a bit before he fell asleep
*Dylan is waving at everyone now, for hiya and ta-ta. It's so funny coz his wee hands just wave every time he hears the words
*Sorted out some of Dylan's clothes and have a load to give to the charity shop, which has created room for his new stuff
*I'm just going to do the ironing then that's me all up to date with everything I need to do....first time in a while!
*My freezer is stocked full of meals for Dylan for when I start back at work (on Friday :shock: )
*I just read my wageslip and because my maternity leave stopped on 25/4 I've been paid for the rest of April - money that I didn't know I was going to get....so I'm going to have a think about what to spend it on :think:

Nice to hear everyone has some positives - Foxxi, you've been busy - well done for enrolling on the courses you want to do. Valentine it's lovely to hear you being so positive & upbeat about things.....I'm really happy for you :hug:
 
Hola Biatches!! :D

First of all.. WELL DONE Lainey! I'm sooo pleased your first session went well..Im very proud of you! :cheer: :hug: When is your next session??

Had another good day today-

* I've watched everything I've said to DH and have done well today... we've even managed a few sneaky cuddles along the way.. which has been lovely, seems sooooooo long ago since we where all cuddly with each other.. I think he appreciated me opening up to him :D

* Went for a lovely walk with Fynn this morning in the sunshine around the lake and to the shops...Fynn charmed all the ladies along the way :roll: :)

* Went to the seaside after that and had a walk along the seafront...I even had a cheeky Lemon-top (a vanilla ice-cream with lemon ice-cream on the top for those who dont know what one is) 8)

* I'm knackered now...so am gonna have an early night...havent had an early night for ages!
