    morning all

    still feeling pretty rough, so far ive been drinking plenty of liquids and some smoothies......

    i really need to dig deep and find the motivation to tidy up our house. Ive been meaning to do it all week but when you feel rough, moving off the sofa just isnt appetising at all....

    DH has started getting replies from his letters offering reduced payments, his car said no outright but mbna have asked him to fill in a more detailed income/expenditure sheet which is a positive.

    Hi CMD,CAFC :hello:.

    You do need to let yourself get some rest and recover properly. Just start with something small re: tidying the house. It'll all come together.

    I agree take things one step at a time and maybe just focus on one room at a time, then take a break!

    I was trying to unpack yesterday and had to stop after about an hour. I started to get stretching pains (clear sign for me to stop) but I felt so useless for the rest of the evening cos my head wants me to keep going but my body says no!
