    Of course you can copy my idea :D

    I am trying to combat my urge to spend when I am feeling low which is really difficult some days and why my bank account never looks very healthy :eek:

    Sorry - I've been really rubbish the past couple of days. Arm is causing serious sleep deprivation following docs examinaton, luckily hubs is back to work tonight so I can take all the room up :rotfl:

    Am going to do a list to see me up until the end of friday as little man has his botox on Friday so will be most of the day at the hosp as they are putting him out. No one will swap with Hubs so will be flying solo, dreading it - I know I will be sobbing when he goes to sleep! I'm such a wuss!

    Aw big hugs to you, sorry to hear the arm being annoying and hope you get a good sleep tonight!!

    Will be thinking of you all day Fri too - really hope it doesn't take too much out of you both xxxxx

    Thank you so much FC :D

    I felt nearly back to my old self which was a lovely feeling and a really good indicator of how ill I've been. It also gives me great hope that I will eventually get back on my feet but I am very realistic in the fact it is likely to take months

    So what are you up to today?
