    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    Morning all, Rhys has decided he didn't want a lie in this morning. Hubby spent most of the night up and down so not much sleep here. Ah well it's a new day and time to battle on.

    Thanks everyone for the hugs, there very much needed and Jojo no offence taken at all. The illness i can handle it's when he does something that me and him know will cause a relapse, of course he says he's fine but he always is until a few weeks later. :(

    Thanks for the Birthday wishes, there's only me, Rhys and hubby up so far and hubby hasn't remember yet. :rotfl:

    Anyway no more complaining from me, so time to get the wm on before i get lost under the washing pile. :D
    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.
    :j :j

    Morning greenbee - are you going to be working on building up your steps again today?
    Bit of a busy day, so not sure I'll manage it... 9am start with clients, and calendar pretty much booked solid until 6pm, when I'll have to head off to meet exOH (last meeting is a group meeting 6-7 so I can do it from the car). I suppose to could walk to the shop now for butter, and then maybe stick my nose outside at lunchtime if the rain holds off.

    But that would mean getting out of bed :p Mind you, I think I need to go and bung a load of laundry in and get breakfast going anyway if I'm going to be coherent for clients at 9! Don't usually do morning calls if I can avoid them...

    Morning All!

    Second load of washing drying on the radiators. Am breakfasted and all washing up done!

    Have put second load of oven stuff on - was so impressed yesterday - I may, in time, have a clean oven!

    Ds asked last night why I do all the housework at night!

    I replied that I don't, but I explained how if I do one washload in the evening then it is dry when I get up and if OH remembers to hit the button on the washing machine the second load is then ready!

    he was impressed - to the point of stripping off down to his boxers so his gym stuff could go through!

    I also pointed out that as of now I do not leave washing up in the sink overnight!

    Happy Birthday Vanilla! Hugs for you and posi-coping vibes - sounds like you're going to need them!

    Plan now is to do abit in the livingroom and then when my sis gets up me and hubby will get some sticks cut. Very cold here this morning so the sticks should warm me up.
    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.
