Doc has signed me off for 2 more weeks and is sending me for blood tests (as reassurance rather than because she thinks there's something wrong). But I have to make an effort to help myself (which I have been trying to do!) but it's easier said than done! And I need to seriously think about work and whether the extra workload and responsibility is actually worth it

Glad to hear they are looking after you. She is right, and I know exactly how you feel about it being easier said than done. When I am down, all I want to do is stay in, sit about and eat chocolate. I know that getting up and moving and eating healthily will help but it's so hard! Do try tho, you will be amazed at how much better you can feel. :kisses3:

Rosepink - Hi Did you ask for the 50p? How did it go?

It didn't go well. I think the woman thought I was bonkers. I explained first that when I paid my £7 of fees the woman only put 70p on the debit card machine and that I'd come back to pay the difference. Of course the computer showed I didnt owe anything! And then I mentioned about my books and asked for the 50p car park charge to be paid and she went and talked to the manager, and they wouldn't do it. I explained how hard I find it to get down there, which is why I order my books, and that we are on a low income and I'd been honest about my fees but although she apologised, she wouldn't do anything for me. I guess I forgot that they don't need to give goodwill gestures and give good customer service and try to attract custom like a normal shop would have to. Ho hum. Then I had a panic atttack and she did look after me quite well actually.

I went into the docs which is next door as I couldn't drive home and the receptionist helped me and then a doc saw me and then i was a lot calmer and managed to get back here.

The result is that I've made £6.30 profit on the whole thing, minus car park fee, cos they don't think I owe them anything, so I guess I should be quite pleased! Stupid library people, not impressed by them.

Sorry for ranting.

Phase 2 is going to be done on Monday now, I will try to do a bit of flying when I've had lunch and had a rest

pigpen

Shopping arrived and put away
2x WM
1x TD
folded and put away 4 loads of laundry
Filled a binbag for charity shop
filled a binbag of rubbish and threw out a manky pillow
Hung towels and bedding on the line

I am absolutely shattered and need a snooze I think.. I'm going to try food, see if that helps.. and I need to get another load in the dryer and the bed stripped
I need to dismantle to top bunk in the girls room and change Tiddles bed and swap mattresses around a bit.

Computer and double mattress need shifting to DS1's

I may then have a small amount of room appearing.

Oh, the plasterer hasn't rung me back so I'll phone a friends OH and see if he can fit it in.. I NEED it to be done now ASAP.

I am then hitting the christmas shopping. I need to finish DD1 and do DD2 and both the boys. I've probably got enough for the 3 littlies.

I have a few bills to pay too.
