I'm out of action this week.

Working full time, plus budget advising plus dealing with teen boy who doesn't want to put effort in at school, but doesn't want to leave and find a job either. Boys are on school hols for the next two weeks, too.

Just going to quietly go crazy . . . . . :wall:

Hiya
Just popped on to see if Toots was back and she is...glad it went ok today and you found a way to make it bearable. Massive hugs to you hun xxxxx

LL - :wave: how are you doing? what are you up too? I've not made it over to the other board yet....must try tomorrow.

House pretty tidy...did a hhc with the children before DH came home, then we had our delayed easter egg hunt which was hysterical as we'd put some of the eggs in really daft places. DD then finished opening her pressies as her birthday was whilst we were away and we didn't take everything. She's one happy little (well not so little) ten year old now:eek:.

Off to have a quick tidy up then an early night with a book. Hugs to you all xx

No - no further word on funding. But then my boss is on leave all week so probably won't hear until the middle of next week if not later.

DeniseNZ - hi hun - here's a cushion to put between your head and the wall so you don't bruise yourself.

Welcome Daydreambeliever.

GFH - the PhD sounds fascinating! I think....

Hugs Rose...I don't get full blown depression but I do have some 'down' times...though, like Tag I am better when it's sunny and the days are longer...

Been to Crystal Peaks again having discovered what there is there and have bought a new linen blouse/shirt for me from T K Maxx:D

Flower that software looks rather daunting...but I have looked and then run back to my familiar old excel...
ETA Washing brought in and ironed, machine filled ready to wash again tonight

Oh dear still tons left to do as I took advantage of the nice weather this afternoon to continue planting the seeds. 2 days behind now on flying!

Trying to crack on with the planting so the seedlings can develop soon. Success with rocket, salad leaves, coriander and tomato seeds, seed potatoes and strawberry plants so far. Fingers crossed for the rest!

Best wishes sent to you Toots for your treatment - hope you manage ok and don't over do things at home. Afterall who is bothered about the house so long as you are ok?

Best wishes also sent to Pigpen, I know how hard this time is for you and how much it can affect your sleep pattern, moods and eating patterns. Been through it myself to some extent and it took between 9-12mths for me to recover sleep better and start eating homemade meals again

Evening everyone..

Toots - glad it was a little better today..
Rosepink - ((hugs)) hope you are feeling a little better now, I know nothing about depression but it sounds awful. I'm off work tomorrow so if a walk in fresh air helps, I'll "join" you, it'd make me get up off my bum too!
Grateful - ((hugs)) to you as well, shingles is not nice..hope it passes quickly without causing too much trouble.
