    Agree with Beanie, it would be strange not to have a few low days plus you were so very upset by DT's sad news, those things play on our mind even when we are not conciously thinking about them.

    You were rushing on adrenalin too waiting for insurance, so now its just time to 'roll with the punches' but they too will pass, for sure!

    You will be fine, Taxi, of course - its swings and roundabouts, and your swings are bound to be bigger at the mo because you've got more going on, as well as stuff outside you.

    I'd forgotten you might be away - are you, this weekend? Are you hot? I always feel horrible when I get really hot, I'm such a wimp about that...

    Mum and dad went there earlier this week and apparently the shop closed on Sunday.
    They spoke to the butcher chap and he said it was to do with re-structuring.

    I suppose they may well supply local shops and as they have staff in the cafe anyway, it does save on a wage in the butchers shop.

    They are still going to be making the pies, as well as sausage, burgers and bacon.

    We've just had some of the chilli sausages that I had stashed in the freezer....they were hot :eek:

    Hi Taxi...have you thought about getting a meditation cd. One that you visualise you're walking in the woods or on a beach etc. to.
    I own a couple and they are great for helping to shut everything off and just really relax to. Have a look on Amazon, you'll get to read the reviews as well so you can choose one that suits.
    I can personally recommend this one...The celestine meditations cd by Salle Merrill Redfield and it also has some great reviews on Amazon and it is a walk in a forest and on a beach :)
