  • Hiya!

    I have spent a very productive afternoon shovelling snow from my path and round the cars so we can get out tomorrow. Our car and neighbour's car.
    Feel much happier, must be because it was physical exercise!

    Gonna make a curry for tea (found a mix in the cupboard I'd forgotten about) so happy about that.

    Really feel I have achieved something today!!

    Mudbath - major ouch for you but what a lovely man for helping you and staying with you.
    L-L how are you today?
    NuttyR - it will take time as everyone has said but what I do is set myself a time limit, so will start flying while tea is cooking and then stop at a set time. I am up at 5.15 most mornings (start work at 7.15) so need to be in bed early or I just can't concentrate. You'll find what works for you!

    Anyway dont want to clutter the thread so will do some banking (wont take long but I avoid it) and then will sit on my bum and watch some telly!

    1 step
    If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
    I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome! :p
