Hi Sarah, Ooooo, your HV sounds a bit annoying to say the least..!! I think I've also got to the video camera moment with mine too by the way - all his activities are about running up to me and either diving on me, smacking my bum ( !!!), waking me up when I pretend to be asleep, being told to 'get out of 'ere' (wow, he loves that so much as he can slam the door behind him, LOL!)..the list goes on. And that's just my husband (joking!!), I meant J. and with a toddler like this, I can see where the makers of tellytubbies got their inspiration - everything has to be repeated at least 10 times! Hope you had a good weekend anyway, Love and hugs HopefulXXX

Hi Everyone, Well i kinda got the quiet weekend i was hoping for, on Friday night i went to my neighbours for a few glasses of wine with a couple of other friends too. Didn't go home til 2.45am!!! I was absolutely guttered! lol, we had a good laugh though and the fact it was only next door was all the better. so saturday we stayed in most of the day with me suffering! the kids were quite happy just to stay at home and play with their friends. On saturday night me and rob went out on a pub crawl with my sister and her hubby, what a laugh we had!! we all had a really good night, at first i didn't think i would make it til 10pm but once the drinks were flowing........................ ;D Don't even know what time we got home so it mustv'e been a good night! The kids stayed at rob's mums and they were all angels lol. We've had a lazy day today as well, the kids have just been playing on the trampoline and generally being quite content!! Have now decided that i'm not going to drink any alcohol for at least the next 6 months as i really need to lose some weight and this is not helping, rob has said that he's really going to try and be supportive this time as when i said i wanted to lose weight before he was "but you don't need to lose weight" but i think he realises now that its getting me down. Anyway not much planned for this week, just the usual stuff, which is quite nice. Knowing that i can just take it easy and enjoy my time with nathan on our own. I love it when mondays come now because i know that i can just 'play' all day if i want to and have no-one else to entertain. LOL Yeah H, i know what you mean about having to do things 10 times over!!! i find it really amusing at the moment. Cameron was playing with him tonight and all he was doing was bouncing on the sofa and nathan just thought it was hilarious and tried copying him by bouncing up and down in his baby walker. I love it when they are like that, playing together, they really have a strong bond and i feel so proud of them. (sorry getting carried away with myself now!! lol) Am going to have an early night now, am absolutely knackered! Hope everyone is feeling ok? Loadsa Love Sarah.xxx

Hey Sarah What a great weekend! Glad you had so much fun I have lost a few pounds (and I mean a few - about 6) but I feel so much better for it - especially as for the first time in two years my mum said 'you've lost weight' ...(believe me she wouldn't say that unless I looked considerably thinner, lol!!) It's not my priority, but I do feel better when I lose some. Didn't diet though - just reduced portion size! Sorry, digressing here hun in your diary. Anyway, it is lovely when the play together isn't it, it really is the best feeling. I know what you mean when you say you feel proud. Love HopefulXXX

Hi Girls,
Yep i did have a great weekend and i can't believe i was out 2 nights in a row and wasn't suffering too bad!! i'm still waiting for it to hit me yet i think!!! i think the tiredness is catching up with me now though!! serves me right though eh!? LOL
My auntie is up visitng just now and she keeps saying that i look really well and am i sure i've not lost weight! hahaha, if only. I think i would know about it if i had, my clothes just keep getting tighter and tighter. Its getting me down now and i'm starting to get the motivation to actually do something about it. I've said i don't want to be like these women you see in magazines that say 'i ended up a size 30+ after having my kids and i didn't even realise' could i'm creeping up slowly. I've been good so far this week (even though its only tuesday) i've had no chocolate or crisps and no fizzy juice. i've been eating homemade healthy food. The fact that nathan hates processed food is helping no end, he pukes up anything that is processed and he also gags at the taste but give him anything homemade and he scoffs the lot. its excellent. anyway i walked to the mother and toddler group with him today and i was playing about with him on the floor there. He's so funny at the moment, when the other kids are screaming and shouting he does it too, its like 'oh i'd better do it aswell' . I'm just loving the age he's at. Anyway no plans for the rest of the week, just M & T's on thursday again and then nathan has his 8 month assessment on Friday. Definately a quite weekend for me?!
Hope your all feeling well?
Loadsa Love

Hi All,
Well today has been good so far, i've made soup again today (think i need to try some new recipes am gettin bored of making soup!!) today its tattie and leek although Nathan obviously didn't like it as he threw up on me after i'd fed him!! lol. Ahhhh the joys of having kids eh?? This afternoon i went to a parents group (they have a free creche) and at the moment we are doing a 6 week confidence/assertiveness building course, its very interesting and it definately gives you someting to think about. We have been talking about making ourselves happy and our own responsiblity to do that and its made me think about the weight issue i'm having!! I have decided that all i do is sit and moan about it but don't actually do anything about it so i am proud to say that i am sitting here with my first cup of sugar free coffee!!! YAY...lol. I usually take 2 sugars in tea/coffee so its a big difference. It might not be a huge change but its a start. Although today is robbies brother and sisters birthday (they are 13 today) and we are meant to be going down to his grannie's tonight for a takeaway!!!!!!! Chinese and Indian i think so am going to try and pick something healthy. I still have my booklet from the slimming club so will have a look in there to see what they advise...............
Anyway must go now, hope everyone is feeling good/better today?
Loadsa Love
Sarah.xxx

Hiya All, OMG what a time i've had!! Just after i'd posted here on wednesday Kirsty came home from her friends just up the road from us and said that a man had asked her where she lived and she'd pointed in the direction of our house and he'd said "come on, lets go home" at which point some older girls that she knows from school shouted at her to run home to me as he was a 'bad man' and she freaked out and ran home to me. She was quite shaken when she came in and i was freaked out to say the least!! I went out the back gate and the bigger girls were coming through the car park so i asked them what had happened and they said 'that bloke tried to take kirsty away' and then he came round the corner and walked through the car park and they ran off, kirsty was quite shaken when he appeared and kept saying 'thats him'. So we came inside and talked about what to do. I then phoned the police to report it as i didn't know what to do for the best! I had all these thoughts in my head, what if it was innocent? what if he's a paedophile? what if he HAD taken her? etc,etc. Anyway we went for our meal as planned and the police had been while we were out but i phoned them in the morning and they came out after school yesterday and question me, just got all the details etc,etc and said they would be back. At 6pm yesterday they came to get a statement from kirsty and she was very good, gave them loads of info and an excellent description of him, they then said they would let me know before the end of the night what was gonna happen. I picked kirsty up from brownies and took her to her dads, who gave me a load of grief as i hadn't let him know what was going on!!! (you know, the ever caring father that he is!!!!!) when i got home the police were back and said they tracked the guy down and that they believed he was totally innocent, he's a local man and hardly ever goes out cos he's seriously ill but had been out for a drink and couldn't remember anything about it, but he said he was probably worried about kirsty as the bigger girls had been giving him cheek as they always do. I was quite happy with this and explained it all to kirsty and gave her loads of praise (as did the police) for doing the right thing. The police were also happy with the outcome. Then today i went to my local shop (the shop near which this happened) and the guy's partner was in there ranting and raving about it to the woman that works in the shop (a notorious gossip) and then they started slagging me off saying that i'd caused loads of trouble and i shouldn't let my daughter 'roam' the streets on her own!!! I didn't say anything cos i'm not the confrontational type but i just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me!! My ex's neice (who also works in the shop) then came out and told me that this woman had also just had 'a go' at her because she is kirstys cousin!! ? I told my mum who was up for lunch and she said to ignore them as i was in the right as was kirsty and i was just being a responsible person but you just can help feeling like you've done something wrong!!! I had a cry to robbie this afternoon and he suggested writing the guy and his partner a letter to explain my actiojns but i've said i don't feel like i need to justify my actions to them as the police explained it to them??? Anyway i felt i just needed to get it all out of my system by writing it down, and i've been talking to my auntie who's been in for a cuppa and i do feel a bit better now, i just wish i could move away from this hellhole!!!

Hi Girls, Thanks Hannah for the mothers day message, that was really nice of you. My Mothers Day wasn't really any different to any other day apart from the fact that i got my 'breakfast' in bed made by the kids. They made me toast (raw) and jam and a cup of tea (well milk, sugar and water)!!! It was lovely of them though. I got a singing card that kirsty picked and a lovely mug that says 'a special mum' on one side and 'a mother holds her childrens hands a while but their hearts forever' on the other side. Awwww isn't that lovely. I went to visit my mum yesterday to give her a card and present and we also visited robbies mum with her card and pressie too. I had quite a crappy day as i've been really tired, Nathan hasn't been sleeping too well because he's got the cold again!! and he won't settle for anyone but me at the moment!!! Anyway not much happened this weekend, won't bore you with my mundane weekend of generally shouting at the kids and being driven insane by the 3 of the them!!!! LOL. Hope you all had better weekends than i did! ? Loadsa Love Sarah.xxxx

Hi All, Had a crappy day again, still feeling really tired am starting to wonder if something is wrong with me??? i just have no energy at the moment........... maybe thats just a symptom of being a mum to 3 kids though eh??? Well our schools break up on friday for the easter holidays (YIPEE!!! not) we are going away for a few days in our caravan, we are leaving on friday after schools out and coming back on Monday. I really need a break, i've not been on holiday since my sisters wedding in Greece in Sept 2004 and i am starting to feel like i'll crack up if i don't get away from here! LOL. I hate my house and the town i live in, i'm generally just really fed up. Which is kinda good, i'm not depressed or really down just 'fed-up' which i think is a huge sign that i'm finally recovered? what do you think? i'm not having any physical symptoms (panic attacks/palpitations/nausous) or weird thoughts or anything that i used to get with a blip so i really feel like i'm fully recovered as i know i'm just fed up and a break away will do me the world of good. Anyway going to read the rest of todays posts then get an early night. Loadsa Love Sarah.xxx

Hi Girls, My weekend away was great, we all had fun and lots of laughing which was something we haven't done as a family for ages!! The kids really enjoyed it and although me and rob got stressed out abit due to being couped up in a tiny caravan with 3 kids for 3 nights!! we both enjoyed it too. It did rain most of the time but we decided that it was 'only a bit of rain' and just got on with it. It was actually quite good playing about in the rain, we had a few games of badminton and football as the bit of the camp site we were on we had a huge empty grassy bit next to us. Nathan was excellent too, he slept good and ate good and really didn't get upset by his lack of routine at all which surprised me as i thought he would have been grumpy but no, he was laughing too! It did me good to have a change of scenery and i loathed the thought of having to come home again. I had a meeting at work today, we have been waiting for this meeting for about a year now!!! thats how organised the Scottish Ambulance Service are!!!! and today we got told that our positions in the service were no longer needed (which we knew anyway) so basically i got made redundant today! :-( Although this is bad news, we were told that there are a few jobs coming up as ambulance technicians and should we decide to apply we would be in with a very good chance! (she basically said we would get a job with them if we applied) and i am quite keen on this as i've always wanted to work in the medical field.......but (there's always a but) the training would mean i would have to go away for 9 weeks to Perth which is about 100 miles away from where i live. I already know that Robbie doesn't want me to do this as we've discussed it before but i feel like i really would like to if i got the chance but i know i can't if he's not behind me 100%, i've also got the dilemma of leaving the kids. I would be aloud home on weekends but i don't know if i could hack it? ?? Since i came home from the meeting and told robbie about the possibility of a new job in the service he has been really snappy with me and generally just in a bad mood. Cameron is staying with rob's mum tonight so i said kirsty could have a friend to stay and he went mental and said i should have asked him first to make sure it was ok and that its his house too and he should be consulted about things like that. He also said that we'd just come home today and 'we' are tired and need a rest? !!! I'm not tired and i feel well rested BECAUSE i've just been away for the break? Is it me or am i not getting something here? maybe i'm missing something??? So now he's gone to bed and i want to go to bed cos i've to be up early tomorrow but i don't want to talk to him tonight and i know he'll be lying there waiting for me to go up so we can 'talk'. Its that same old crap again, my happiness only lasts for a short time, i feel like i'm not aloud to be happy for too long...... Sorry for the rant girls, i felt really good after the break away and now its back to the same old shit again. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Loadsa Love Sarah.xxx

Hiya Sarah, I'm so sorry things have turned a bit crap again. We've talked about this before haven't we!? Glad you had a good few days away, it'll done you the world of good.
Is Robbie scared of you having your own independance??? Was the first thing that came to mind, I might be way off, but is worth mentioning. He might feel a bit intimidated by you wanting to work???
Anyway, gotta leave it there for now hunni, Got to take Thea to the docs AGAIN! I swear we should move in there! lol
Susanne xxxx
