Morning, hope you're less lurgified today (little bit lurgified here too ) Great realisation about the house.. we do it a lot, don't we.. compare ourselves against what we *think* other people do/ have.

:j:j:j Exactly! Somewhere in there, there's a happy medium, thank you!

I RISE in the dawn, and I kneel and blow
Till the seed of the fire flicker and glow.
And then I must scrub, and bake, and sweep,
Till stars are beginning to blink and peep;
But the young lie long and dream in their bed
Of the matching of ribbons, the blue and the red,
And their day goes over in idleness,
And they sigh if the wind but lift up a tress.
While I must work, because I am old
And the seed of the fire gets feeble and cold.
William Butler Yeats

Oh my word. MrsMoo!!!! I'm happy to tell you I've *never*, ever gone down that road. Ancestors of mine did, to keep their families going, but not me. What with you having been talking about being so down, recently, I'm a bit concerned for you that you choose to post that, actually :kisses3:

This is me!

I came onto mse at about 9am, its now about 9.20 - I'm off to warm up my coffee, and when I come back, I have another 10 mins - determined to only spend 30 mins on here, otherwise its another case of getting sucked in ... I sound like I live in a nest of vacuum cleaners or something, don't I :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Its just that with working from home and having options as to how I spend the time, I have to be a bit more structured - even if that structure is actually having a lie down or something.

I'm a bit less lurgified today, thank you all - throat doesn't hurt any more - but I'm going to keep on boosting myself with everything I've got, can't afford to get ill this early in the season...

:hello: couldn't resist - well, it is lunchtime

Setting up structure and grand plans, and getting *all* paperwork together - honestly, just as I think I've got it all, another bunch breeds and turns up in *another* place _pale_ I must give it contraceptives or something :rotfl:

15 minutes from ... NOW ... its 1334 ... then I'm off out for a walk.

Thanks Taxi, and its good to know you limit your time too - I'd no idea I spent so much time on here that 30 minutes felt like nothing at all :eek:

Lurgy is *gradually* claiming me - I seem to have lurgies in slow motion, falling, being and recovering very annoying. I still have high hopes that I can beat this one off with a big stick

Anyway ... pleasant walk yesterday - you know what, part of the reason for the lurgy is that when my mum had gone, I kept on working really really hard, like I had been in prepping for her visit - the walk I had was a reminder that thats how I'd spent my summer, grrrr.

3 hours work today, I need to just pootle, eat well and have lots of vitamins and supplements.

Eat well, pootle and prosper.

(In a vulcan voice)

I hope the slow motion lurgy goes soon.

Brilliant :T Thanks Pippi. A friend of mine does actually sign all her emails and letters with the original phrase. I think I like yours more
