Hope you feel better soon - at least you know why your LOs were not very happy now!
Perhaps the sunshine will help ....

Thanks for your messages. Diet is going well again today and I feel much better. I guess it must have been a 24hr thing.
Had my hair highlighted today. My friend came over and did and then had a cut so was feeling all refreshed earlier. After she went I did a few jobs and then had a bit of lunch. Went outside to sort a few toys out that were in my car and bumped into my neighbour who invited me over for a cup of tea. I went over and LO's played with a box of toys she had. We sat in the garden and had a really good catch up. She has just had radiotherapy for breast cancer and her husband left her for a younger model just before she found out so she has been through the mill a bit. When we get together we both discuss our depression and trouble getting out of bed! She's very upbeat though and a real inspiration.
Anyway....Daisy fell asleep on my lap. I was chatting away to my neighbour and could smell dog poo. She does have a dog so I just assumed it was from the dog. Jamie then started whinging and and I had him on my lap too and he fell asleep. We chatted for ages more and I still had the constant smell of poo. Daisy then woke up and started playing. My neighbour then said to her that she had spilled her drink down her dress. I didn't bother looking and just said that she was always spilling it. We chatted some more then she pointed to the floor and said that Daisy had had an accident. When I looked down on the grass I saw what I thought was a bit of sick. On further inspection I realised it was poo. It was on my trousers (I was scrunched up in a chair and hadn't noticed cos I still had Jamie asleep on me) it was all over her skirt (not the drink) and on her shoes. I had to carry her home military fashion and dumped her in the shower. Jamie also had a slight red rash on his face when we got round there and when we left he was quite blotchy and spotty all over his face and especially around his eyes. So just when I thought the bugs were gone they are back with a vengeance!
By the time I got us all showered and changed I started dinner. In the meantime OH came some home saying that he didn't feel too good and asked me to come and cuddle him. I wasn't really in the mood for it by then and disappeared downstairs. He came down while I started dinner and laid in the lounge. LO's went in there for a bit then came in the kitchen screaming and shouting. I had Jamie whingeing hanging on to my leg while I was trying to cook and daisy kept getting up on the chair and getting things on the top. I was getting stressed and shouted at OH to come and take them in the lounge so that I could cook HIS dinener. He did say that they were annoing him in the lounge and that he felt sorry for me in the kitchen. Well come and bloody help then!"!! When I was sick yesterday I still had 2 kids to look after and got no sympathy from him.
LO's are now in bed. He has tidied the kitchen and I have sorted out a few old clothes that have been lying around for ages. I was going to attack the ironing but can't be arsed so I am now off to watch the apprentice. Hopefully I will manage to chill out a bit!

Btw...it was Daisy who had pooed herself not me!

I've had a bit of a crappy day today. I'm not really sure why to be honest. I felt a bit down last night and then this morning didn't feel too good. Got up and did some jobs went to the supermarket to get some bits and managed to perk up a bit then. Came home and LO's were asleep so sat out in the sun and did the ironing. I just keep having allof the negative thoughts again. I can't put my finger on why. For some reason I think it comes from anxiety and I am feeling a bit stressie and tight chested but am not sure why. I hope it picks up tomorrow. It makes me completely lose my motivation to do anything which is not what you need when the weather is like this. I struggle on with it anyway.
Daisy had one of her really runny poos again this morning which slightly leaked out of her nappy. She also did one again this evening so something is coming out of her. She would hardly touch her dinner tonight either which sn't like her. Jamie still has is rash. It didn't look too bad this morning so didn't make docs appointment but then about an hour later I thought it looked bad again. I am wondering if it is just a heat rash or probably just a viral thing. I'll reassess in the morning.
I'm still sticking to the diet. I've lost another pound so in total. Went into Next earlier and looked at all of the clothes. They are just so gorgeous and although I can fit in an 18/20 they aren't the best shape on me. I carry a lot of weight around my middle which has changed my shape. I can't wait to go in there and try something on that fits and looks nice. I can't really afford to shop in there but i do get the odd bit.
Anyway I'm rambling now. I've got a headache so I am off to bed to try and RELAX!

Hope you feel better soon - maybe just a blip/bad day? Liked your story about the poo though - thought it might have been dog poo at one stage xxx

Well I've had a mixed day today. It' started bad and has since got better.
I woke up v early this morning and just had a really horrible feeling. Managed to nod back off. OH went down this morning at about 7.30 to get LO's bottles he shouted up the stairs to me to look out the front. I was already feeling horrible but I was suddenly thinking what could have happened. Last time he shouted that to me it had been snowing. We live opposite a bowling green and there was a hot air balloon landing on the grass. It was pretty mad because there was this huge balloon right infront of our house but it just made me feel worse. I had to go back and lie down. OH got up with the kids and I laid in bed trying ti relax. I dozed on and off till just after 10 and thought it only fair that I should go and help OH with the kids. Had breakfast did a few bits then went to have a shower. OH put Jamie in bed for a sleep and I had to pop out to a couple of shops to do some bits. I took Daisy and she slept most of the time. I felt like crap when I first went out. My mind kept wandering onto stupid things like when I put Daisy in the car it was extremely hot and I thought imagine if I accidently dropped the key in the car when I put her in and that the central locking malfunctioned and she got locked in. It would be so hot that she would suffocate and die. Why would I want to think such a thing like that on such a lovely day? That's just the way I am feeling. I know it is born out of anxiety but I don't know why I feel anxious.
When I got home I fed the kids then did a couple of bits and then stood and did all of my ironing while watching a film on tv (mental escapism)! I then put all of the clothes away that I have either ironed or folded over the last week which was pretty much all of our clothes. That took me about an hour. Anyway am feeling better now although could easily slip back into negative mode but at least I am right up to date with the washing and ironing!
I hope I have a better night tonight and hope that Reading can win tommorrow and that Fulham lose (sorry any Fulham supporters).

Keep fighting it Lara. Just remember that a few months ago you wouldn't have been able to distract yourself and fight off the negative. The fact that you can do this now just shows how quickly you're beating this.
The odd anxiety thoughts still appear for me from time to time. Then again, I am assured that this is 'normal' for all mothers and that I'm not slipping back down. I think you can tell they're losing their grip on you when you can think them but not dwell on them.

Oh - I've been in Next too (and have the catalogue) and could spend a fortune! I'm a bit of a Next girl to be honest.

Was wondering if thier stuff was getting a bit young for me lately but the catalogue has loads of good stuff - our nearest store hasn't got much.

Hi All,
Thanks for you replies. There are lots of NEXT girls out there. I think everyone loves their stuff. It's just a shame it.s not Primark prices but then I guess you wouldn't get the lovely quality and range. They are definitely the best for kids I reckon. Not only are they gorgeous but I find I can wash and tumble dry them til the cows come home and although they shrink a bit they seem keep looking decent. Most of my hand me downs are NEXT clothes. I'm also thinking that a job in there would be a VERY good idea. Btw...for those of you that didn't know...if you work on their sale days youget 50% off of the sale price. Basically that's 75% off. I think they let you in before the sale for 20 mins and you get first pickings. I have half thought of doing it myself but I would probably get the job of holding the '5 hrs til you get served from this point' board at the end of the queue!!
Anyway....I have been quite up and down over the last few days and so much has been going around in my head. I just want to switch my brain off sometimes. I will post on here tomorrow in some detail because it is all long winded.
Just off to do some ironing and catch a bit of Gok.

Blimey no wonder there is never anything left in thier sales stuff - all the staff get it all first!
Well done on the weight loss thingy - that's over half a stone so great!
Am off to Next this afternoon for some t shirts - with this nice weather am finding I seem to have about three and they are getting tired of going round in the wash every other day!
Hope today was an up day for you
