    Awwww thanks Fairy, do you feel more active at night and sluggish in the mornings like me? I am just curious. It is so nice to find I am not alone, it makes me feel less 'silly' about things, even though I shouldn't be too hard on myself :-)
    Going to tackle the clothes pile and the washing up tonight and hope to get some more done tomorrow, we will see. I still need to add lots to the list though, as you say it is never ending lol

    It just depends on how i have slept or if i am sore or stressed or whatever really, sometimes i'm up doing things at 3 or 4 am and other times i'm bright and breezy at 7pm - i don't think there is much of a pattern tbh - i just learn to go with it and unless i feel completely poopy i try to do something even just something small and it usually makes me feel a bit better :)

    And yes its always good to be less hard on ourselves :D nothing to feel silly about - things are just as they are and learning to cope with that is the main thing i think!
