Hello flyers,

Happy Birthday Kaz xx

Am back in the breach today. Spent yesterday mainly sleeping and studying. Seems to be after a session with my counsellor I struggle to sleep then when I finally do I tend to sleep a good 10/11 hours oddly. Anyway, it was not a wasted day as I finished all of this weeks study and actually took a lot of it in.

Anyhow, the counselling went fairly well. We have got a temporary date of the end of feb to get me back into work. It gives us something to work towards and although it scares me witless the idea of going back I know sooner or later I will have to face it. At least with my counsellors help it will be easier than diving straight back in. Will hopefully work out a staggered return and apparently depression is a disability so it is the responsibility of the company to ensure I have acceptable working conditions? We will see eh... Fingers crossed.

Flying wise, this morning I have tidied up my whole bungalow S&S'd all rooms, done a binbag dance throughout, cleaned out the fire and fetched in coal etc. Then I hoovered through everywhere, mopped and even mopped my front door step. It is black tiles and was covered in ashes from my fire waste bucket so looked a real mess.

Next is chilling, lunch and then getting ready to take mum into town at 1. She needs some bits for her holiday in a week and is treating me to a hair cut. Wooo cant remember last time I did have it cut tbh, it is so long so only needs the ends tidying up but it will be a nice treat.

Thats me for now folks,

Keep those chins up,
Love, Hugs and spoons
Sarah xx

:mad: The post is never delivered early - that's why I went for milk and bread when I did - and why does it now take 48 hours to get the parcel back to the collection point, used to be 24 :mad:

For us it is because our round does not have a postman allocated to it *rolly-eyed smilie* so we have ours delivered by a postie on OT once he has done his own round.

Happy Birthday KazW

Climb high Miss A and have fun sweetie
