You need to manage your expectations. If you expect everything to be dull and tedious and miserable, then when something nice happens you're pleasantly surprised

Take up a hobby - try geocaching; you can take covbaby with you and give mum a break.

You're quite right - might try following Zeity's example: if I expect every day to be terrible then I won't be disappointed, and the good days seem extra good :-)

Most people's lives are tedious and dull, and they only post the good bits on facebook. It's easy to get down about it, especially if you're knackered. Book a holiday - always works for me!

MEMORY LANE

"The young lady modelling the double-breasted coat in the photograph was killed in a bombing raid in 1942. She worked in a butcher's shop called Eastmans in Kingsbridge and when an air-raid started the staff went in to the walk in freezer but unfortunately a bomb struck the building next door and fractured the gas main. Consequently they were all gassed." - FASHION IN WW2

I am thinking of taking twins to see Dads Army tomorrow at Odeon Leicester Square. If I go past I shall look up at your former office window.....

When I was in London for a conference last autumn, I popped into the Apple Store in Covent Garden to buy a lead. I got tapped on the shoulder and lo! it was a Python developer with whom I worked at that place out on the farm. Turns out he's working at the place on Leicester Square now! So give them a wave from me, just in case he's looking out of the window

Even more crikey! the coat cost 12gns!

That's a mere £560 odd in our present devalued toilet paper.
