    I just wanted to thank kind people for friendly messages...I'm currently 'enjoying' a giant Black Dog sitting on my shoulder and doing anything at all seems like far too much trouble, tho I am having treatment so am hoping it'll go away soon. In the meantime I shall lurk here and perhaps all your energy and cheerfulness will help - you do sound like a very nice bunch of people and there aren't so many of those around. I did buy some filing trays yesterday and am planning to start some long-overdue filing today. Also I cleared out the accumulation of about 10 years junk from big bathroom cupboards and yesterday bought some plastic trays which I'm going to organise the small quantity of remaining good stuff into this pm. It's not much but it's a small step forward.
    Thank you.......:T

    Under the circumstances that sounds like quite a productive day :T

    Not sure if I should have gone into TKMaxx or not.
    New duvet cover etc would have cost more in High Street - so I would prob. not have bought them.
    Now I've got it home I'm starting to think about changing rest of bedroom :eek:

    Walked to the shop, bought milk, walked back. Still feel grotty.

    I've also mucked out the car and filled my screenwash, so that's something off the list at least. And I've booked tickets to the last night of the proms and registered for an 11 mile midnight charity walk in September. And updated my diary. And used my emergency credit card to prevent it being cancelled.

    Not entirely unproductive, but I'm now fed up with feeling ill!

    Interview is in just over 2 hours. Hopefully it'll be interesting!
