you live in the wrong place? Or maybe the wrong time…or something.
Got a call back from the local organic box scheme supplier – they deliver to Sheffield and Chesterfield, but we are in between, and they don’t deliver to us. 🙁 I was really hoping that I could start getting a box scheme and that I could use that to cut down on my supermarket shopping, buy more responsibly, eat more responsibly, drive less! But not to be it would seem.
And I’ve spent part of the morning browsing through rightmove looking at houses nearer to friends – I hate that I have to get in the car to see anyone! This week I will have driven every day, and more miles than if I was tootling to work and back, which feels hugely irresponsible. I really ought to investigate the bus, but we live in a small village so we’re talking hourly services, on roundabout routes, and I suspect it would add several hours to any outing, not to mention carrying a small, a buggy and a picnic while wrangling a 4 year old would probably wipe me out completely.
Other news – I’m back on the antibiotics with another blockage in my breast. And the doctor just wanted to know when I was planning on weaning… I don’t want to wean! Breastfeeding feels like the only thing I am succeeding at at the moment, don’t take that away too!

Sorry about the antibiotics Jax although glad your breast problem is getting sorted out. Ignore the Doctor and go with yours and smalls needs (I know you will anyway). Shucks about the box scheme too.
Well, I am sure its NOT the only thing you are succeeding at, but I do so hate that assuption that any feeding after 6 months is suspect. As a very (very lol) extended breastfeeder, I was driven underground in the end by other people’s attitudes. Don’t let the turkeys gring you down. x
(((HUGS))) for the antibiotics stuff and doc’s attitude. Goes without saying to ignore it…
I feel guilty using the car too, but the cost of buses is just way too high in this area for all of us to go anywhere, our weekly home ed meeting in the park would cost around £10 !
Oh sod the stupid doctor, its nobodys business but your own how long you breastfeed. *thinks* as i will be saying to myself when i give up after three weeks!
You are doing great Jax, but you have one major life skill to achieve, which is realizing that you can’t do everything and you can’t achieve everything on your lists, especially when accompanied by a quantity of small people and in less than perfect circumstances. It just doesn’t work like that and there is no point in measuring yourself against 99% of people because everyone else is either more practised, less encumbered, not got the same things to do, or giving themselves more of a break already.
Bloody hell, there are days when i put “brush teeth” on my list, just so i can tick something!!!!!!
((((HUGS))))) you know i love you so i hope its okay to say such things. I’ve been practising 6 years now and i’ve still shouted and smacked in the last two hours! (And slept!)
PS – read above in *sympathetic and often there and doing that* type tone :~)
have some (hugs) from me, an echo of what Merry said, oh and I think you are fab! (and excellent at computery stuff too which is way over and above and beyond me!)
sorry you’re feeling down, but from what I saw of you when I met you – you’re a great person and good at many things. Hope you’re feeling better soon – both physically & emotionally (which could of course be linked remember!) .
ditto to all of the above 😉 HOpe the antibiotics are taking effect and that you’re feeling better soon.
We’re a new organic fruit & veg box scheme. We deliver to Chesterfield, and as far out as New Whittington & Sheepbridge. Any good to you?
Cheers
Simon.
