    So glad to hear you are sleping well KC & getting back to things you love to do!!!

    Hi RT! Well, when its different cultures, there's a lot more choice for comparison! Even in this country, I wonder if any children's programmes are dubbed into Welsh - or even Irish, come to that ....

    Glad to hear about the light ... I shall have a think about that, at the moment just the seeing people for a little while regularly, and using my energy but not depleting myself, seem to really be doing the trick. Its always a balancing act.

    Right. 10am now - a cup of tea, and some serious trading practice - just to show willing, I'm going to shut down mse :eek:_pale_:shhh:

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I didn't do that much on the trading - when I went on, "my" signal had just happened, and there's no point waiting and learning to wait in that situation....

    Don't feel like I've done a lot either, but I *think* I have:
    - trading as above :)
    - client files decluttered and into new storage situation :)
    - and there's one I can legitimately give back to my partner - now *thats* what I call decluttering :D
    - I've rung a local computer bod!!!! He's coming around tomorrow night at 7pm, was very upfront about charges and charging methods, I have a good feeling about this :j
    - I've paid my council tax - tried to do it free online, but had to use an 0845 number, I think because I still haven't changed my address on that bank account :o:o:o
    - 3 (more) cardboard boxes in the recycling! I've been drowning in the stuff :eek:
    - done the budgets and whatnot, or almost. Just need to go back into my bank details and check what I've actually spent this month.

    Pleased with that!

    Well done on getting so much done. Baby steps. You seem to be getting the knack of not doing too much at once.

I have a feeling she's in my bed again, grrrr. Ended up in the spare room last night as she was doing a good impression of a starfish!
