    All of this flinging by you all has influenced my plans for tomorrow....
    I am going to sort all of my clothes out which i have been threatening to do for ages.
    So wardrobes and drawers in the bedroom, and then do and sort all of the ironing.
    Going away 3 weeks today, so need to try stuff on anyway, and I don't want to leave the ironing until the last minute.
    Just need to remember to pop out to cheer DH on and pass him another water bottle at 12.45pm.
    Jobs a good un - off to bed now
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'

    Still struggling here - Aunt flo is bacik and I am wiped out - off to the quack again next week me thinks - I just can't deal with it!
    given my recent experience I recommend you get them to do all available investigations as soon as possible. If the doctor I'd spoken to last december had done the investigations he should have done I'd have been sorted out much sooner (mind you, he didn't believe in private medicine, so that would have been another battle).

    Piggers we KNOW you have no concept of what TMI might be :p:p

    Well I've now watched all of Downton Abbey. Going to the shop totally exhausted me, so I'm clearly not going to get anything much done anytime soon. Plan for tomorrow is to get ready for Monday's visitors. Really not looking forward to work on Monday :( and it's the first time I've felt like this in this job. It's not the work, it's just not feeling I'm up to it. Hopefully I'll feel better by then.

    Neighbours at the back are having a loud party... So I need to pray for heavy rain, or read through it, unless I'm so shattered I can actually sleep through it!

    Greenbee - surely you cannot work on Monday if you cannot manage a trip to the shops. Put your health first. Sleep tight

    Setting the WM and then off to bed
