Re: not coping

yeah @NatureLover itll get abit easier when i work out what i can/cant have.
i actually found 2 recipies i want to try out this week cause i think pop and the kids will like it as well. its low carb, low sugar, dairy free and its really quite healthy but not the unappealing healthy looking sort.

im really quite stressed today so i need to try and get a few things sorted that might help with that.

Re: not coping

I think you are doing really well, with all the sudden rush of information you are having to deal with in your research. Well done on finding two recipes to try this week 🙂

Re: not coping

thanks @NatureLover

so many bills piling up and pop being well pop. cant comprehend how to just get abit of sugar on a large spoon so is yelling at me because we dont have a washed up teaspoon. ive had to rewash almost all the plates and cups again because he think that rinsing them (doesnt matter whats been in/on them) makes them clean 🤦‍♀️

Re: not coping

Thanks, I've got to go out this morning to pick up my meds and some groceries. It's a big deal for me to go to the chemist (possible germs), so am trying to psych up for that now.

But we have rare sun today! So hopefully a nice walk.
