Brilliant news dusty!

Flying is still minimal by me but DH has cleaned the living room, kitchen and decluttered two loads of laundry today. As well as cutting and splitting enough firewood for the weekend.

Cottage changeover tomorrow so DD usually cleans in there then does an hour for me in our house too.
My flare up has eased a bit but I am not up to doing anything physical.

I've since made 2 more cuppas, put the dog out, did toast for DD, unloaded and reloaded the WM + TD and came back to bed!!!!

Morning Guys :wave:
No flying done yesterday had the Doctor in the morning. His answer to my BD is to get out the house and get a job. He's still not realising that some days my depression is so that that I can't get out of bed let alone do a days or weeks work with strangers
I spent the rest of the morning with my best friend while her husband fixed/ updated DD2's laptop.
I had a call regarding a pay out for my broken car so went to the garage I use to have a chat with them. They were great, even when I starting crying, it's all been so stressful made worse by having noone to turn to for help. I phoned the company back while I was there to be told the amount and am very pleased It is a hell of alot more that I thought even the guys at the garage were impressed. Let's just say the garage owner said I haven't broke even on the cost of the car and the money I've paid out on it (had a couple of really bad things to fix) but not far off it. So no more worry that I won't be able to after another car (can you tell I'm happy?)
Went to tell my parents then picked DD2 up then back to my friends where we had dinner :money:
I was so happy with how the day ended that I let my friends eldest DD, who's 18, do a burlesque (sp?) make over on me :eek: she had fun and the boyfriendish liked the pics but my eyes are so sore from all the eye make up used

Boyfriendish woke me via a message this morning so I've been up since 8 :eek: I'm still having coffee and waiting for my GUAG to arrive.
DD2 is still in bed so I'll boot her out in a bit. She's still in my bad books so she will be doing housework today whether she likes it or not

Still lots to do

wendywitch My GP suggested the same for my BD. Now I don't work and don't have the stress of it I am much happier. DH's BD is a chemical deficiency. And a SAD lamp helps him too. There are so many different causes GP's by now should know that one size doesn't fit all. The first thing they need to do is ask you the right questions. Grr! You can tell this is one of my hobby horses

Maybe try to see a different doctor in the practice. Or talk to someone at Mind. I do hope things improve for you soon.

Hello all. Just skim read, hope everyone is ok, hugs where needed. Well I've had quite a lazy morning apart from a quick hour whizzing round the village getting weekly shopping bits.

This week was really busy at the paid stuff, but I got up early a couple of times to fly and each room has had some attention this week so I don't feel obliged to do any flying this weekend if I don't want to.

No mopping done this week but downstairs loo floor washed by hand.

So today, I've hoovered downstairs, shopped and put stuff away and wasted a bit of time on here! Just off to walk two of the dogs in the lovely sunshine and then gardening is planned after a bit of lunch. Bought some lovely primroses to add to the bulbs peeping through.

Catch you all later.
