    Thank you for all your kind wishes.

    Nowt wrong.

    Just......................... I dunno, hit a bit of a sticky patch in life and am more than just a bit fed up to the back teeth tbh.

    In the grand scheme of things, it's nowt. But as it's nothing to do with MSing either.............

    Bobbling along. Being mindful of spending, not overspending (don't think :think:) But not saving shed-loads neither, and haven't come up on the lottery :(

    Haven't got alot to say really.

    It's the changing of the seasons. I think that as we are basically all animals it's the hibernating instinct which is making us all tired and fed up at this time of year. My DD is feeling the same.
