    Hello,

    Same here, tired and fed up. Especially as so much that need doing so can't really afford feeling like this and of course when things don't get done it stresses me out even more and so on and so on...

    Got a lovely encouraging email from BF today thou at just the right moment. :smileyhea Also got a DD sitter for Sunday afternoon so can go to an interesting lecture so really looking forward to that.

    I am on some luxurious caramel shortbread and tea so that is no 17 for me please YM. I am freezing cold so hot bath might do the trick. I hope I am not coming down with anything. Have had a bit dodgy throat all week but that could be due to too much singing. :o

    Have a great evening everyone!!!

  • I think it might be the new moon (tomorrow or Sat I think) which is affecting all of our moods! I keep thinking about having a drink - but haven't had one and won't have one.

    Also keep thinking about rehoming another little doggie from the local last stop dog rescue home. Keep thinking about giving another unwanted dog a new home. I have my hands full with the current one, but I miss my other one since he died and I found another one that has a look of him in his eyes!

    I had better think long and hard about it then decide.

    Anyhow feeling a little bit better now
