THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
It has been so wonderful to get up after another rough night and read all four of your replies. Thank you to each of you for your words of wisdom, encourgaement and support. It is so reassuring to know that there are others out there going through the same tough times but also experiencing the same dliemas. I think sometimes it's hard to hear direct advice from people about what they think you should do, but much more useful to be told that it's normal to be feeling the way youre feeling and that's exactly what you girls have done. What a great forum this is, I shall definitely be posting up here again.

good luck to all of you going through teh same thing and calebsmum, i hope you manage to get some more sleep before you start work. i definitely know what you mean about it being a BF v sanity thing. As anna said, it's all about survival so lets all just hang on in there

thanks again for the lovely chat x
ps DD now napping so I am going to close my eyes!
