I'm tired of being skint. I know that I'm a whole lot better off in many many ways than the majority of the world's population. But that doesn't help me feel better today, although it damn well should. I had to squeeze a measly £20 out of the cashpoint to put enough diesel in the car to stop the fuel warning light from flashing.
I can't find work and I can't see how I can fit work into the week along with the kids- but many many do just that I know. I NEED to earn lots through my writing. Is that too much to ask?
I'm feeling very very tired and am having strange pains and strange skin things going on. Underneath everything else I'm worried that the cancer has returned. I'm seeing my consultant in a couple of weeks - an appointment I'm already dreading.
And I'm toilet training Hattie. Cue total obsession with lovely, new, stripy pants - pulling trousers down to admire them approximately every couple of minutes, lots of theatrical sitting on potty complete with arranging hands on knees to best effect. Lots of jumping up declaring that 'nothing's coming!' and then wet pants and trousers a few moments later. She doesn't seem to have grasped that it's supposed to matter if you wet yourself and that you're meant to wee in the potty. To her - wet pants? wet potty? C'est la vie. It's all good.

Hi Kate
I remeber when I looked after my godson and he was potty training, he became obsessed with everyone elses toilet habits apart from his own. And he would only wear his Power Ranger pants, it's a stressful time for Mother and child, without any other factors making it more difficult. Huge hugs and hnag on in there

Ugg! My Cate is already quite fascinated by girly "pants," which, I'm sure you know, over here are called panties, a word I despise. Our boys call theirs "unders" and we are sticking with that. But I don't know if I am ready for her to have her own.
Good luck.
