I have memories of being satisfied after a days work. That never happens now.

I think it's the amount of work to be done that changes as much as we do. I'm sure you have more people to be working for too? (or who should/ could be helping..?)

Don't be too hard on yourself Doozergirl.

What Nikkster said.

Plus you've had bronchitis, doubt you're full over it even if you're feeling somewhat better. These things can take a long time to get over completely.

Be kind to yourself and take a break! Do something that you'd like to do rather than slogging on. Hugs. :grouphug:

For anyone who fancied Lydia's pull out tap thingy, this is a bit of a bargain with a 5 yr guarantee:

Better to set the bar too high, DG, and fail, than set it low and meet it.

2015 has been ok so far. Had a nice time with friends the past few days

Just got to crack on now with organising somewhere to live. Really looking forward to starting this job

If anyone would like to buy shares in First Utility, now would be a good time to do so. I think my electricity bills are about to soar.

Not only do I have a houseguest, I now have a mahoosive tv :eek:

I would have been state of the art in erm... 2008
A colleague has upgraded their tv, and asked if I would like their old one. As I was using an 22" Asda special UVC (no, I've never heard of them either) tv I've borrowed from my brother (think he got it when he was at Uni, quite some time ago) I said yes.

I now have a 42" plasma :cool: I expect this has an energy saving rating of U. Probably help to keep the living room toasty warm though (and I'll actually be able to read when there is text and hear some bass)

Sounds awesome! The energy saving people who rate these things probably don't take into account the amount you'll save on your heating

I dread to think how much it cost new

If I was buying a tv (I had been half looking at some of the deals that are on as everyone seems to be falling over themselves to cut the prices of tvs atm), I'd never have gone for something this big, but I guess I'll get used to it (I've tried a couple of times to make that more innuendo-proof and failed). And then struggle to downgrade in 10 years time or whenever I do actually get round to buying a new tv (which is now at the bottom of a very, very long list).

I dunno. I haven't got used to the big tv in the cheese room yet. I just don't it when tv heads can be bigger than mine.:o

Poured very cold wine and filled out the form to renew my driving license photo 18 months after it expired, and to change it to my married name, nearly 11 years after marrying. That piece of paper has been in my in-tray for a very long time!

I always seem to get to a point with this bl00dy room where I can see the light, but never quite make it. I really want to do it today.

Thanks for the support

You're right. It costs more to run, but your heating bill will be less
