    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 .

    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.
    Yesterday was Gitdog's official birthday for insurance purposes. I am a bad dog parent as he spent it in kennels so I could gallivant. :D
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
