Just been having a catch up . Melly love it looks as though you're working a lot of hours on top of caring for your husband and the furries . Please try to cut yourself a bit of slack before you burnout .
I know this is how you try to keep control of everything but you need to look after you in order to look after the others .
Hope your husband has something by now to help with the lung infection . Wishing you a less stressful and exhausting year ahead and better days to come .

Another 3 weeks of 60 hour weeks I think Poll then day shifts
I am just having food before I go back to work
I appear to have melted a fork in the oven lol0 -
Struggling a bit
Still only another 7 hours lol0 -
60 hour weeks???
Even doing night shifts can't you cut it down to a more normal 40 hour week - working time directive and all that. (You're a health and safety bod - you know this!)
I'll shut up now.
Wishing you a belated New year and hope that in 2019 things continue to move in the right direction for you.
