Hey Cha, Just popping in to say hi. I'm still lurking on here, but don't really have time to post at the moment, and I don't really have anything interesting to say anyway. Back to work a week today, so just sorting out everything for my return.
Hope the kitchen work goes ok and it would be lovely to meet up again sometime xMummy to 3 fabulous boys all under 4 :eek:0 -

Have you not thought of trying counselling again - through my work I know Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is meant to be good for such anxieties/fears. It is available on NHS, but long waiting lists - maybe try and get a referral.....
