    Hi KC

    you definitely have got your get up and go back, seem to be getting loads done, but don't overdo it.

    Like the idea of the contracts to get your office sorted, but... Dragon you made me feel so guilty, I've got a few cross stitch WIP's that need finishing, and a few finished ones that need making into stuff.
    Crucially I started a wedding sampler for a friend over 10 years ago and then stopped when they split up quite dramatically. She has now been engaged to someone else for 4 years and has finally decided to get married before she's 50 (next September) so I suppose I should finish it.

    Oh lord. A client of mine did this years ago .... you're right that these are the issues (tho not the disease - I do think mine is probably post-viral, tho I have been worrying about something more serious). I'm also wondering about something emotional - I was deeply, deeply shattered yesterday, but I felt it come on in about two minutes - no exaggeration. I shan't say any more about it, as its *really* not appropriate for a public forum, but nuff said that I'm going to be wearing my black tourmaline today, which repels negative vibes.
    Hi KC

    you definitely have got your get up and go back, seem to be getting loads done, but don't overdo it.

    I've overdone it :(

    I wanted to check something out with people actually - a freecycler came round at 8.30 last night to pick up some stuff I'd offered on there. I'd said I was a counsellor, so please check times beforehand, she had an email address, and I gave her my landline number. She sent an email 3 hours before she turned up, never phoned the landline, but I'd already shut down the lappie to go work, so I never picked it up. And at the door, she was making comments about *me* sending emails and not giving people time to respond.

    Okay, I know I'm being oversensitive here, I wanted to go :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: and have someone say, "you're right, what a bleep, but don't email her back - just cross her off your list". Please vote for this option now .....
