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 meand 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.also I find a good few early nights help me recharge my batteries.

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.

... all gratefully received... and sent right back
