    You're welcome....
    I always tackle stuff bit by bit as that seems to make it easier to deal with.

    You are right... it does make it a whole lot easier. I often feel so overwhelmed by how much I have to do that .... I just don't do anything.:o

    I also find it helps to list them in order of importance/time and do the most important time critical stuff first so at least they are out of the way.I find it helps me with time management and stress..lol

    Well done 40sm on paying the tax. I really sympathise with your situ....I was so stressed when working, wanting to be at home but knowing I should be at work.....it really takes it out of you. And I appreciate how difficult the school run must be with DS1 (?).....main thing is to hang in there and try to make some small progress when you can at this point, I feel. Just day to day life with kids, OHs, work, houses, dogs etc is hard.....so do what you can and try to relax a bit too when you can (am my own worst enemy in this regard though, so do as I say and not as I....)

    I can totally relate to how you've been feeling lately, maybe it's a seasonal disorder or just being skint! We have had a bit extra this month for me to pay things and I have just left it as I don't want to send it out - what on earth is all that about.

    Hope our joint blip is over and onwards and upwards.

    Suffering ..... I broke my ankle last night:( Total nightmare as being self-employed I don't get any sick pay so I will somehow have to work from home.

    On the plus side DH can use my car for the next 6 weeks so his can can stay "broken " until then. Also as it will be the beginning of the school holidays when the plaster off... I won't have to do the school run until September ;)

    I am totally bored and very very teary.

    How are you today, sweets ?
