Last couple of weeks of dark mornings arent hellping at the moment, so on Tuesday I ordered one of them dawn simulator light box/alarm type things. It arrived this morning at 7am. Talk about ironic, I had fallen back to sleep (despite 2 alarms) and got woke up by the delivery guy knocking on the door! have decided new alarm/lamp thing really works

Thank you Honey Bear0 -
I am having a chilled out fly session at the mo. I am watching tv and trying to do some of the easy quiet things, then when the adverts start I am hoovering and doing the noisy things. I should be able to do everything else like this apart from the bathroom tiles, I will have a HHC for those later.MFW 2025 No. 7 £1931.07/£2700

Why did I have 5 dressing gowns hanging on the bathroom door - none of which I'd want to be seen in? Guess a new one will have to go on list to Santa!
So four stars for me again this week please Toots - must be Room of Doom tomorrow I guess.

Hi all.
Zara - Thats good news! What a relief!
Eltee12 - oooh, do those alarmy things really work? I am rubbish in the mornings at the best of times, and absolutely hate dark mornings.. wondering now whether one of those would be worth a try
I'm definately feeling much better today some some of the concoction of meds seems to have worked. I've had a tidy round the lounge today, been to the post office, done the dishes & made some bread rolls..better find the proper lists soon i guess. Its amazing how quickly the day passes when you're at home, at work it drags on for what feels like days!!0 -
