MILK The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

What's been good, bad and ugly for you today/this week?

Me

The Good: I had a wonderful lunch with the family

The Bad: Today should have been my brothers 36th birthday

The Ugly: H got braces And I feel horrible saying that but I really don't like them. I am sure I will get used to them and I am in support of him having them, especially whilst treatment is free but......I really don't like them.

for today

The Good: Im enjoying H having some time of work and doing family things.

The Bad: H having to return to work on sat :(

The ugly: im not really sure.....

about your brother CM

The Good: Noah did his first laugh for me on Mother's Day

The Bad: Our bank accounts were stopped this week as we went so far overdrawn and we now officially can't survive on my reduced wage with H being unemployed. I am having to consider returning to work in 8 weeks rather than September as planned unless he finds something sharpish

The Ugly: Poor Noah has hideous infected eczema all over his lovely face, and we are having to slap on the steroid creams now in an attempt to get it under control. Poor mite keeps clawing at it and making it worse.

Smarties that sounds tough! P has horrid infected eczema too on her face.....when people glance at her they think she has a messy face as it's so bright red. We have a dermatologist appointment on Friday and it's not a moment too soon! Also, from my own experience, contact your banks and people about the work situation. huge as it's a horrid situation to be in

First off, a BIG hug to Chunky Monk hope you are ok?

Mine would be:

The Good:  I had lunch and spent the afternoon with a friend and her 2 little boys.  My first afternoon out with just me and Austin and it was fab.  I had a great time.

The Bad:  Austin has a stuffy nose and not only is it affecting his sleep, but it is making him throw up loads after each feed.

The Ugly:  Well, me I think .  I am covered in sick, didn't get a chance to put any make-up on today, and my roots need doing as all my grey is showing through!  My skin is also really dry and spotty, and of course my hair is starting to fall out post baby.  So I am a grey haired, slightly balding, scaley skinned minger at the mo!

Thanks CM, that's a good idea I think I will ring the bank tomorrow actually.

Starstruck

Hugs to everyone who's having tough times this week.

For me;

The Good: It was Will's 2nd Birthday at the weekend and he had a fab time and a lovely party...he was so excited! And it was fab to see all my friends and family together at once.

The Bad: Will's tantrums at the moment!! Everything is a battle and it's so wearing. I just want him to be lovely all the time!!

The Ugly: My H is working every night this week and most of next and so I'm home alone and doing tea/bath/bed every night for the forseeable! Not that bad really...couldn't think of a real ugly!!

to you all for the bad.

For me today:

Good - George's jumperoo arrived and he loves it.  It was so lovely, watching him bouncing about.

Bad - G has a cold so has been a bit out of sorts.

Ugly - ummmm, the snot dripping from G's nose?

Big hug to CM x

Good - Mr M did bathtime tonight

Bad - because I'm knackered

Ugly - me, I must be Startsruck's twin on the skin and hair front (hey twinnie )

CM hope your OK! and to everyone else having having hard/horrid times!

Good - H had the day off yesterday

Bad -  Fin's poorly tummy!

Ugly - Me - Fin sick, me covered, head to toe! (enough said!!)

Thanks girls. I'm ok.....lunch with the family and I had counselling yesterday which definitely helped.

Am glad to see that mostly everyone is doing ok...the bads are mostly not too bad

Good - one of my team resigned today so has saved me the hassle of going down disciplinary route

Bad - have no idea how to meet my target for this month <sigh>

Ugly - my poor boss who was sick on her passenger seat on her way home last night and has had to struggle into work today.

Do you get the impression that work is my life at the moment

to everyone who needs them. Here's mine:

Good (can I have 2?): I got a surprise BFP on Saturday; S showed me how he could walk with a walker today!

Bad: S is still not sleeping through - he's broken and wakes at least once an hour every night - this has been going on for a month and I'm shattered! I want my sleep-through-the-night baby back!

Ugly: Now I have my BFP, the major diet is out the window and I fell so ugly at my current size

xx

to all who need them x

Good- Baby is kicking away regularly now which is lovely

Bad- We are struggling money wise and i'm sick of living off my overdraft

Ugly- My lank hair and dry skin

to CM, Smarties and others having tough times at the  mo.

Good - we had our low offer accepted on a house we want to buy and 2 higher than expected offers on our house, so now we can move, hurrah!

Bad -  can't think of one at the moment, for now, life is good.

Ugly - definitely me too.  The stress of the last few days has turned my face into that of a teenager, with horrible greasy itchy skin and a few big whitehead spots.  I might have to invest in some clearasil.
