    Hi, can I join please? I'm possibly the most disorganised person ever and in serious need of motivation to sort out this tip that we lovingly call "home".

    Dusty thanks, I hope so, he's transferring to her husband in the same clinics who's very well known for CBT which we're going to try gently with DS1, I've tried not to dwell on here too much ad I can't mention it on FB as my Dad is unwell but he's coming out with a lot that is very suicidal at the moment which is worrying and very stressful. We'll get there I am sure
    lil_me - hugs. I don't know how you cope.

    Looked through one study calendar which starts on 5th February but the other calendar isn't released now until the 27th which is annoying as it said 17th all week so I made sure I was off. I've read some, I'm making a point of timing how long it takes me to read each part. This is the earliest I've ever looked at books and hope the timing helps me be more organised and know how much time I will need each week roughly. There is a lot computer based and statistics based on the biological psychology course, so I am pleased I have my stats study books. I've downloaded the first book onto my phone which means I can do reading on the go.

    Very impressed with how well you are organising your studies - OK I get it, if you didn't plan like that you wouldn't be able to do it.

    Trouble is - what am I going to use for excuses :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    iphone screen is about the same size as ipod, I think, so how do you get on reading on that size of screen?

    Yes - OK piggers - I am flying - promise.

    I've also done the boys room, it looks loads better now and i'm hoping they keep it that way. Spuds peeled for dinner and another couple of wash loads done, rubbish out in bin aswell as recycling.:D

    I'll get the rest of the kitchen list done when the kids are home.....
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Back again,

    thought I ought to pop in and update things seeing as I have actually been flying as well as doing other bits and bobs.

    I am at the moment though going mad with worry. I have my medical assessment for my ESA benefit on Wednesday and am bricking it to be blunt. Everything I hear about these makes me worry even more as it seems that unless your dead they pretty much say you are fit to work. My employer and counsellor say I am not as does my GP but I don't know what to do. The big thing is you cannot see depression and I do not know what to expect. I have my passport, all my NHS letters and stuff. I will take my diary with all my appointments in and the like but I am scared. It is making it hard to concentrate on anything tbh.

    ANyway flying ... As mentioned all medical documents found out and passport (which is thankfully still valid for another 5 years)...
    Also
    Popped through a load of washing
    Cleaned out fire, fetched in fuel and lit (brrrr so cold)
    Sorted out a big box of pens and bits my goddaughters use when they visit (most dried up and discarded)

    Quite impressive really thinking back, this used to take me ages but now it is a fairly straightforward thing.
    This flying seriously works.

    Ok.. going to TRY and focus on study now. See if that distracts me from panicing about wednesdays appointment.:(
