Stress Stress Stress

I haven’t blogged for a couple of days and it hasn’t been because I haven’t wanted to. I’ve either been incredibly busy or just felt so unmotivated and rubbish within myself that I just couldn’t bring myself to switch on the computer and sit down at the desk and type.

We have so much going on over the next few weeks. Jack is starting nursery at the local infants school so life has been a hectic mess of making sure we have everything we need. Our parents have helped us out A LOT and we’ve managed to get a few things secondhand for free, I love my village for this. Always happy to help each other and I will certainly be putting Jack’s 3-4 stuff up for free when it no longer fits.

As well as that, Steve has been working pretty much non stop all month and the MOT on the car runs out on Sunday. It has been a rush to get it in and to get some things sorted which ended up happening today. We took it in to get some stuff done (which cost a bomb!) and then after those things were all sorted, we had the MOT. Guess what…it failed. I’ve already depleted my savings account as much as I can so its going to be a stretch, they say it doesn’t rain but it pours, don’t they?

I’m hoping that after tomorrow I will have some time to relax and actually get some other things done now that everything else is being sorted. Do you ever have days (or weeks) like this?

  1. I get stressed very quickly and I have to use my calm down measures some of which involves drinking tea .

    today it was a mouse , then I felt all awful at the state of the house things can build up quickly .
    upside of the mosque appearing I blitzed the hall way

  9. Cars. They always cost a bomb, I dread our MoTS when they come around there is always something that comes up! It’s getting to the point that each time we evaluate whether it’s cheaper to buy another car or not. Hope you manage to sort it out and get time to relax soon.
