Hugs tiredanddesperate, don't leave, we will all support and encourage you. I've had tremendous support from this thread when I've been going through bad times, the ladies here are wonderful. I hope you feel a bit brighter soon. Do you know why you are feeling so low? Or did it just come on?

Ohh, notso, you sound so fed up, hunDo stay if you can face it (I'll certainly miss you looking in through your door
) but I know from experience that a short time away can do wonders. If you do stay, that would be great - I'm sure you can go onto the "excused duties" list and we can all support you :A

all [STRIKE]carp [/STRIKE] stuff for car boot in shed LESS the computer games, which on closer inspections turn out to be on floppies...some of them were 5" floppies:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
so about 20 years old. Boxes are all in green bin; instruction manuals in blue bag and floppies in bin except for a sample of each for a 'how we saved data' display at school, which I will put upin the ICT suite one day! (ICT and history;))
In all honesty I cannot see anyone buying this stuff even at a car boot sales, so figured recycling best option. Loads 2 & 3 now on the line and the kitchen is clean
oh and my spare tap part has come (excellent service from Fastpart and the Royal mail there!) - NDN said he would do it for me - he's a gas fitter so MUST be able to wield a tool - I might be able to have a bath totnight.

Eee, tell 'em about 5 inch floppies and they won't believe you! Are you sure somebody won't buy them?:rotfl:
But seriously, folks; my best wishes to everybody that's tired, drained, tearful, undergoing treatment or being chased by the black dog. If you can get out of the house, even if only to stand in the garden, the bit of sunshine that might creep through the clouds will help. It isn't always going to be like this, it does pass - although some days, everything seems to take its own sweet time.

Hi I'm back again after another extended HHC, had to pop down to shop and get some lunch. Did a few more list-bits, I'll update later.
Notso - huuuuuge hugs, all I can do is echo what everyone has said, that we are here to support you if you want, now or when you come back. I hope things get better for you.

Huge hugs for Notso and anyone else who is feeling down or stressed. I followed Greenbees advice and rather than fret about things that are beyond my control I spent most of this morning walking through fields in the sunshine and feel tons better for it
. It doesn't make the [STRIKE]pigsty[/STRIKE] house look any better though :cool:.
