    Sending you (((hugs))) and hoping that things pick up soon. XX
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy
  • Awww poor Mr PLMBL, hope this passes soon. Has he had episodes which have lasted this long before? xx

    From me too xx
  • Thanks again everyone, DH seems a bit more “normal” today. He’s had episodes lasting several days before, but it’s been quite a while so it’s been a bit of a shock to the system. Was rather worried last night when I found him just sitting on the kitchen floor staring into space and had made up my mind to get help if he was still the same today, but he’s back on the planet thus far this morning.

  • I'm glad DH seems a bit better today, it's very hard for you when he's like that :(.

    How annoying about the mortgage, I know that mine will go up a bit too :(.

    A longer stay in Edinburgh sounds great. I've only been there once but I loved it. I'd like to climb Arthur's Seat, go to the castle and the zoo. We only had a few hours there before a flight home, so only managed the Dungeon with our Mr T vouchers, but we all really enjoyed it :D
