    Feeling a bit glum today. I'm finding looking after and maintaining the house a tad overwhelming at the moment. There are a few things that have happened and/or suddenly need fixing and I don't know where to start. I used to relish the challenge of dealing with these things by myself but at the moment it's a bit much. :(

    Woken to heavy rain this morning too which is also making things feel very grey.....

    I think I know what you mean, it's times like this, I miss my rented 1 bed flat, at least if things needed mending or fixing, it was down to them, not me :D and much smaller to keep tidy/clean.
    However tomorrows another day, so start with the easiest/smallest/job you feel like doing and take it from there. There - that's one off the list. :D also I find a good few early nights help me recharge my batteries.
    Sorry to hear that you've been feeling a bit fed up BW. I hope that you're spending plenty of time resting and letting your mind unwind. I'm sending you a virtual hot choc with extra marshmallows :coffee: and a dodgy looking hug too :grouphug:

    Take it easy

    Thank goodness there's someone else with a dodgy mind :rotfl: great minds, and all that.
    Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:

    Hope you're ok BW and that you're taking some time for you.

    Big thank you to MWC, AFK, SSS, RT and MG for stopping in. I very much appreciate it and I'm sorry I've not been around.

    I'm finding life in general very busy and a bit overwhelming at the moment and just don't have the mental capacity (nor time) to be here right now.

    I'm sure I will bounce back but just need to 'batten down' and get through the next few weeks.

    BW x
