Well today my 2 eldest kids are both off from school with a sickness bug! I have confined them to their bedroom so they don't spread their germs about! hahaha. They are at this moment watching a video so its relatively quiet apart from Nathan who has just discovered that he can squeal!!! so he's in his babywalker next to me screaching away, its quite amusing really although noisy!! LOL. I love it when he discovers he can do something new, the way he finds it so amusing and entertaining. I am fine too, my friend has decided she wants to start her own business and she was thinking along the lines of a creche but after i'd told her i'd been to planetkidz she's now thinking about a playcentre instead and has asked me if i will help. Now i can't really be involved too much because i am bankrupt and your not aloud to be involved in the formation of any business or day-to-day running of a business until your discharged which she knows but she would still like my help and input which i was very enthusiastic about initially but as we are looking into it more and more i'm not sure if i'm cut out for it? also i feel because it's not 'my' business i'm feeling more and more like i can't be bothered. Does that make sense? I don't want to upset her or for us to fall out but how can i tell her that i don't want to be involved as much as she wants me to be? We have only been really good friends for a short while although we have lived next door to each other for nearly 3 years now. I feel i'm in a bit of a dilemma cos i don't want to lose a good friend and i want her to suceed in her venture but i don't really want the involvement. Oh how did i get into this?? Apart from that i'm great, me and my mum are joining the slimming club i've previously talked about (not going to type it cos it always changes the word!!)lol. we are joining on Thursday 9th Feb so i'll let you know how that goes, i thought i was getting on ok with my own healthy eating but i'm just getting fatter and fatter! lol. Time for action me thinks!!
Hope everyone is ok and feeling good today, the sun is shining here and although its cold its one of those lovely frosty crisp days when you know the spring is in sight..........
Loadsa Love to you all
Sarah.xxx

Well another day is nearly done.....thank god really, it hasn't turned out to be such a good day! Kirsty was off school again, she was still being sick last night and ended up on the floor in our room as Cameron had gone to his dads (he was better by then) but Nathan slept all night from 7.30pm til 8am WOW.....wonder how long this will last....lol. Kirsty is much better today and has been on at me constantly all day, 'mum, whats this?', 'mum, can i...' etc,etc. Nathan has been whingy cos his first tooth is nearly popping through YAY, and i have been quite tired cos although Nathan slept right through I had kirstys mess to clean up a few times!! Anyway Robbie came home from college in a mood, actually he went to college in a mood??? and he's saying now that he's not enjoying since the new semester started but he doesn't know why??? (so how the hell am i meant to know then?) i'd asked him to buy a box of nappies from Asda on his way home and he bought a packet instead and the most exspensive wipes and had no money left!! (he went with £20) he said he had to get petrol and something for his dinner but he told me last night before bed that he had enough money to get a box of nappies and all the rest. So i was a bit pissed off about it and he's blown it all out of proportion saying i'm not talking to him (i have been reading my book to cheer myself up) and that i'm always having a go??? and now he's gone to his mates house...... Oh Well, nearly bedtime, its my nieces birthday tomorrow, she's gonna be 3, all day i've been sitting thinking about the day she was born (i was my sisters birth partner along with her hubby) it was fantastic and it seems like yesterday. She's gorgeous, i can't believe she's gonna be 3. I am taking her and Nathan to the toddler group tomorrow and then we are all going to my sisters at 4pm for a 'tea party'. I can't wait. Anyway hope everyone is ok tonight Loadsa Love Sarah.xxx

Hi Sarah Jay, Sorry your day has been a bit 'pants' (why do kids laugh uncontrollably at that word?). Mine has too. Like you, roll on tomorrow, let's hope it's better. ..Will be thinking of youx How lovely that you were a birthing partner, that is so special. My mum was this time, as my partner had been ill and also as I wanted her to. It must be amazing to 'hear' your daughter give birth...I loved that she was there. Anyway, enjoy the tea party tomorrow..you sound like such an amzing mum - you do all these things! Lots of love to you We'll have a better day tomorrow hey? Hopefulxx

Well today is going okay so far, I took Nathan and Chloe to the toddler group and they had fun, Nathan is just fascinated with all the other 'little people' around him! its amazing to watch his reactions as he takes it all in. I then came home as my other 2 kids were coming home for lunch. I made them lunch and my mum was also here for lunch. I then had to take Nathan to a appointment with the physiotherapist, he was referred recently as he has a tendancy to keep both of his thumbs tucked into his hands, it doesn't stop him in any way but we and the HV thought it needed checking out, they have said they are baffled as its very unusual as there doesn't seem to be any reason why he's doing this but she is going to discuss it with the orthopaedic surgeon just to make sure its nothing major. I'm not worried about it but i would like to know for sure.
Anyway Kirsty is home and now dressed in her 'sparkly' party dress for Chloes tea party and we are waiting for Cameron to come home from school........ As for me and Robbie, he came back last night and was in a better mood but didn't say much. We watched that program on C4 - Extraordinary Breastfeeding, did anyone see it? and that sort of got us talking again so we went to bed on a good note. I got a text message from him today while he's at work apologising for being grumpy for the last few days and being off with me!!! I can't wait for the weekend, i'm going to bingo with my friend (hopefully we'll win) and then on Saturday night me and Rob are going bowling with my mum, her boyf, my auntie and her new man so that should be a good laugh too. Robbies mum is going to babysit so it'll be nice to get a break.
Hope everyones feeling better today?
Loadsa Love

Hi Everyone,
Well i've had a great weekend. On friday night i went to the bingo with my friend and i won £80 !!!! I was so excited. On Sat me and Rob took the kids ice-skating and then did a bit of shopping and came home to chill out, at night me and Rob went bowling with my mum, her boyf, my aunt and her boyf. It was great fun and we had such a laugh and having a break from the kids was great too. We all went to Mcdonalds afterwards! (slap up meal!!) and again had such a laugh that it took us ages to finish eating! lol. We came home and had an 'early night'!! On sunday we just chilled out at home then went to my sisters for a few hours in the afternoon as Nathan had been screaming all day. He's having a really hard time teething, my poor baby. So my weekend has been great and this week i have Kirstys birthday on wednesday, we are having a disco at home for 15 of her friends!! (am i mad or what!) i managed to cut it down from 25 though!! lol. It should be fun and games all round. On thursday night it's my first night at the slimming club and the dreaded weigh in!!! think i am about 10st 8lb, which for 5ft 2in is overweight so i want to lose about 2 stone approx. It sounds easy when you write it down!!! lol. Will see how this goes......
Anyway must get on, have a party to organise!!
Loadsa Love
Sarah.xxx

Hi Everyone,
Well the party was great, Kirsty had a great time as did all her friends. I am really pleased that she had a great birthday and the party wasn't half as bad as i thought it would be even though i had no help from anyone!! My mum and sister came up in the afternoon to help me prepare the food but i ended up doing it all myself while they chatted and then they left after the party had finished without helping to clear up. Admitidly they did look after Nathan most of the time. Robbie was at college and wasn't home til after 5pm then he put the kids to bed while i tidied up. I was absolutely knackered yesterday. I got a lie-in today as robbie has been told that he is no longer needed at the company where he was working part-time!! They have said they will call him if they need him!!! so i was grateful today cost i've had a rest although feel like shite cos i have a stinking cold (again).
Today i haven't done much at all, feel like i'm burnt out and run down. Need to re-charge my batteries. I went to the slimming club tonight for the first time!!! I weigh more than i thought i did but its not majorly bad. Its quite good and i'm looking forward to eating healthier foods as this is my big downfall, i can be lazy when it comes to cooking! i'm hoping this will spur me on a bit to cook more. I've also done my good deed for the day. I know a girl who has a baby the same age as Nathan and my next door neighbour is really good friends with her. She has been suffering from PNI but won't seek help from anyone. She has admitted to my neighbour that she has PNI and also has seen her HV about it but she will not go to her GP and doesn't want to take medication. She thinks that if she gets out more and keeps busy she will feel better, which i agree with. My neighbour had asked me if i would invite her to the toddler group that i go to, which i did today but she can't make the days so i've suggested that we take the babies swimming which she seems really keen on. I am really keen on doing this too as it'll be good for me and Nathan too. So i am going to phone her next week to arrange an afternoon next week and i'm also going to invite her round to mine for a coffee one afternoon, as then the babies can 'play' with each other and she can chat to a mum who's baby is at the same stage as hers. We already get on well and i think she's a bit shy as i have invited her round before but i'm gonna keep persevering as my neighbour thinks its because she's not feeling too good about herself thats making her not come. What do you think? should i persevere or wait for her to say? I don't want to seem too pushy or anything like that?
Anyway i am going to bed now, my kids are off school tomorrow and monday (mid-term break) but they are going to their dads for the weekend (YAY). Think Robbie is planning something for sat as he's asked him mum to have Nathan overnight on sat???
Hope you girls are all feeling well?
Loadsa Love Sarah.xxx

Hi Sarah I would keep persevering, you'll probably know instinctively when to 'stop phoning' if you know what I mean.. I think the idea of coming round to your house is really nice - I wished someone else with PNI had asked me round for a chat!! I wonder what Robbie 's got planned for Saturday? My hubby has arranged something for Sunday night - babysitters and everything , I am shocked. But I have been 'going on' as he calls it about the fact that I always arrange the nights out, lol!! It's finally got through, only problem being I have no idea where we're going -..hope it's nothing too dull, lol!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, my diet is going really badly, I still have only lost a few pounds, but at least I'm not putting it on now.. Well, hope you have a lovely weekend anyway Take care Hopefulx

I've had a really good weekend. I so needed that little break from Cameron and Kirsty (that sounds awful doesn't it?) They went to their dad's on Friday night and came home yesterday at 3pm. It was lovely not having to keep them entertained all weekend. I really look forward to their weekends at their dad's now, even more than i did when it was every sat night. I also got a break from Nathan on sat night as Rob's mum had him all night. Well Rob's plans didn't quite go to plan!! lol First of all he was being really secretive on sat morning, obviously i knew he was planning something but had no idea what. Anyway as he was about to drive me over to my sisters (where i'd been told to go and get ready!) our car broke down!! We knew the Alternator was on its way out but didn't realise it would be NOW!! so he was quite pissed off and sat umming and ahhing. When i asked if it was a major problem he told me that he'd needed to go into town to get flowers, rose petals etc as he was going to decorate the bedroom for later on..... but i told him not to worry about it and that i loved him whatever happened. So i ended up getting ready at thome and then at 6.45pm a taxi turned up and he told me that we were going to a really nice hotel about 6 miles away (its overlooks a bay and is quite posh) i was so chuffed as he would never take me there before as when we first met i had gone there to meet up with a bloke i'd been chatting to on the internet (its was purely friendship, on my part anyway) i told robbie all this and at the time he was fine with me going but later told me he wasn't and has threw it back at me numerous times before. So to me it is a sign that he's managed to put this little part of my past behind him. And its one less thing for us to fight about. Anyway it was fantastic, we had a 4 course meal which was delicious and we had pink champagne, which went straight to my head (and his!) we had the most brilliant time, just eating and talking (like grown ups) ;D By the time we came home i was so tired that i wasn't up for anything else so its a good job he hadn't managed to do all the flowers and things he wanted to do!! We sat and talked for a while and then we went to bed and just had a lovely cuddle and kiss. It was so good to do that without going on to have full sex, i sometimes think we never kiss and cuddle enough. Robbie also bought me a gorgeous silver necklace with a little loveheart on it, which was presented to me draped on a beautiful fluffy teddy. We had decided to give each other our pressies that night as tomorrow will just seem like another day what with him at college and the kids and their swimming lessons etc,etc. We wanted it to feel special. (god aren't we soppy!) lol Anyway that was my sat night and i really enjoyed myself and he made me feel so special and loved. (ok maybe i'm getting toooo soppy) Yesterday was good too, we just lazed about all day after nathan came home and we spent the day playing with him and basically doing nothing much! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I'm gonna go now as i've a splitting headache Loadsa Love Sarah.xxx

Hi Everyone,
Gosh I can't believe its been a week since i last wrote in my diary!! I'm always busy these days although i still moan that i'm bored!! hahaha. Now i just have to remember whats been going on in the past week ! Our car was in the garage mon-weds getting fixed and now its as good as new. I stayed in on those days as it was freezing cold and very wet here. On wednesday i met my mum and sis for lunch which was nice, feel like we haven't done that for ages. I lost 1/2lb this week and although its not much i was really chuffed as its been really hard changing my eating habits. On thursday i took nathan swimming with my 2 friends and their kids, it was good fun but a lot of hassle, our local pool only has 1 baby changing table (can you believe that!) and there were 2 of us that have little babies so it was annoying but it gave us something to moan about! hahaha. Kirsty has had 2 birthday parties to go to this week and Nathan has 1 tomorrow! Its cost me a fortune this week. But at least the kids are having fun. I went out last night with my friend, 4 of us started of drinking in her house and then 2 of the girls went home at 11.30pm sowe went to the pub (was well drunk before we even left her house!) the pub was dead!! we were that drunk that we ended up belting out some tunes on the karaoke!!! it was good fun but i've suffered for it today, i had a really sore head when i got up but robbie brought me a big bottle of ice cold water in bed with 2 paracetamols. awwww bless him. and i've just lazed about all day today doing housework in between laying on the sofa...... lol Robbie is out tonight, he's gone to his mates house, its one of the lads birthday today so they are all having a good p**s up!! He's had his orders though, he's to be in no later than 2.30am and he's not to try and jump on me when he comes to bed!!! lol Tomorrow we are taking the kids to a birthday party (another one) its Nathans 'friend' from Mother and Toddler group so it should be fun, we are also taking Chloe (my niece) I am actually looking forward to it. Well thats about all from me, hope you are all feeling well, and having a good day/weekend?
Loadsa Love
Sarah.xxx

Hiya sarah
I'm glad you had a good night out - did Robbie? It's a good way to work it - we sometimes take turns going out. A great break for both.
Is it half term for yours this week?
Love Hopefulxxxxxxxx
