    I love fish, but I do wish the smell wouldn't linger so long!!

    And I will join you on the handwash challenge - I have a few things that I have been avoiding doing, but that can't go in the machine.....bah!!

    Hi all!

    Thought I'd better come and give you all an update. The last couple of weeks have been cr*p. I've been running around and out so much with little time to myself. Work is really busy and stressful and I got a bit of a telling off for missing a deadline. I'm running around to try to get everything sorted for this holiday. I am really nervous about it for all sorts of reasons. I feel like I am going to be looking after my dad and brother the whole time with little time to relax myself.

    I must admit I have not been happy the last few weeks and last week the nurse and I had a conversation about whether I might be depressed. I know i don't want to consider that i might he unless I really have to. I will see how I feel after the break - a couple of weeks in the sun might do me the world of good.

    I probably won't get a chance to post or even read much over the next couple of weeks.

    Waving to you all.

    Thanks Taxi - I think the break will a good chance to get away. Sadly DH can't come so I don't have my rock with me! I really do hope it helps to recharge the batteries as they are definitely struggling to keep me going at the moment.

    Oh Urg, sorry to hear you've been stressed. Your mum's anniversary and impending holiday is obviously getting to you. Try not to be 'looking' after your dad and brother, however much you feel you need to. Look after 'you'! *Hugs*

    Thanks guys - finished packing and am within my luggage allowance. Quite an achievement for me!

    Work was okay today - I stayed quite late and got loads done. Still a lot to do but I think I'll be able to leave on time and enjoy my evening with DH. Very late now so off to sleep. Night!

    Hi Everyone,

    Got back this evening and need to get to sleep as I am back at work tomorrow. The break was very busy and I am glad I went but just as glad to be back home!

    Will catch up properly with all your news over the next couple of days!
