Hi lovlies x

I hope this week has been kind to you all x

An uneventful but busy week for me.

Spoke to my son a few times he is doing ok my daughter had a video call and showed him round her house, he said how lovely it was and how ridiculous the tv was, they got a 77inch Oleg one, the younger ones of today lol x

I have nothing planned this weekend apart from the usual food shopping,

Tomorrow is apparently meant to be warm before the weather turns colder so will cut the grass hopefully for the last time this year

I have thought about stopping these weekly check ins as I dont want to bore the pants off of you all but sometimes its good to know that there is more to us all than this journey and we are all living a new normal xx

I'm glad you had a good week but cutting the grass makes me thankful for having paving lol.

keep the check ins please, because they bring hope and comfort to us all that some things get more normal.

littlest one started nursery, all going well.

I plucked up the courage this week and did my theory test, passed with flying colours, next step lessons and I'll get there. I'm setting goals and keeping them so far.

had sw parental assessment part one which was extremely triggering but kept it as clinical as possible and pretty much answered in one word answers all be it some what snippy, but what to they expect if they trigger me. Part two next week. And asserted that it's not fair that they are treating me as if I have done something wrong.

upcoming week, some pre Christmas shopping dentist and a doctors appointments and that's about it.

I love this weekly check in. It shows me that i have survived another week. It gives me a focus for the week and it is nice as we talk about other than the usual. Last week has been good. Went out to for a evening to a book signing with an author doing a talk about her book. She is a local writer but it had about 15 people. Small but initmate and a nice couple of hours. Continuing with my line dancing. Last week i did 11 dances in an hour and only been going for 5 weeks but i am loving it and it makes me forget.



going away for a couple of days, to see my Mother in law who does not know so that is weird. But she is mentally ill and would come out with all sorts. So OH brother agreed its best to keep quiet. So that will be nice. Next week nothing much planned except line dancing. Am on new tablets which i hope will help with my fatigue and stress. So looking good so far.

I like the weekly check ins and am always pleased to hear from you Upset and it is great to hear that your son is doing well.

Smile I hope that your son is ok and that his move is a positive step for him.

I managed to get away for a few days and it was really nice to be able to relax and enjoy myself-son seems to have managed well on his own although I did feel anxious about leaving him.

This time last year I couldn't even imagine that we would get to this stage .

We still have a long way to go and are still having issues with the bully boy visor but will get it sorted and not allow him to threaten or intimidate us.

Love the weekly check ins! It's nice to share our 'new normals'.



Mine has been long, busy and draining. Second week back at work (primary school) after 6 weeks Summer holidays, plus 1 & a half weeks before that, due to the knock.



First full week of the children back at school, it's been mental. I've had a few 'wobbly' moments, trying to get to grips with new interventions I'm doing, new routines etc. Plus losing it with a rude woman in a shop car park after work.

But a lovely colleague presented me with a bunch of sunflowers today to cheer me up, which really made my day.

I'm so emotional as this will be the last weekend before taking my baby to university miles away next weekend.

So lots going on, plus the financial worries, but trying to be positive.

Happy weekend all, try to look after yourselves x
