    No wonder you've got a case of the blues - normality has returned!:)

    The time of year won't help!

    You're right ... you don't need x, y or z .. you have each other xx
    I think you might be right!

    I was wondering what to say, and now I found that rising has said it all much better than I could have.

    Hope you start feeling more positive soon - and that the kittens decide to come out for cuddles very soon.

    Thanks ladies, I just need to get a grip :o

    Well, yeah, but also cut yourself some slack. Tell your DH how you feel and invest time encouraging each other. Go easy on yourself for a while and tell yourself you won't always feel this flat, but you and he are going to support each other through the post-adrenaline crash until the natural cycle of these things brings you to another "up".

    So, I got about 3 hours sleep last night, due to coughing lots. My stomach and ribs ached this morning due to all of the coughing. I also woke up with a swollen left eye lid which is very painful! Great start to the day... ;)

    Had leftovers for tea, including fruit crumble and custard, nom nom nom :D don't intend to do anything else tonight - think I'll be in bed in an hour.... :o

    Hope you got a good nights sleep and are feeling better today.

    Nom nom to the fruit crumble and custard. I was in my Gran's on Saturday and she was supposed to be having her dinner but when she heard that apple tart was £1 at the local Co-op she decided she was having apple tart and custard for dinner instead. Needless to say Mum, hubby & I joined her because she doesn't like eating on her own. Although it didn't taste as good as home made I was surprised how nice it actually tasted!

    I've had them before from my local c00p - not bad at all! (and TBH by the time you'd made your pastry, got the cooking apples, sugar, oven etc - sure it's not any more expensive than making your own!)
