    Makes sense to see the GP to see what might be causing the tiredness 👍

  • Yes, worth checking what the tiredness might be.

    What @jwil says. You've got more than enough to cope with even with the nightmare client gone. I expect your body is telling you it's time to be kind to yourself.

    I also find where there are lots of equally weighted 'urgent' things calling for my attention, it's not only hard to know where to start, but everything is about equally repulsive and a computer game will call my name instead.

    Nice to have a shiny car!

  • Thank you for the kind words.  Btw, the nightmare client still hovers.  So, yesterday we decided to use a soon to expire voucher and the experience was poor. At least dh got some food he enjoyed.  I came home and had toast.  Still it was nice to be out for a bit.  No money was spent as the tip was as non existent as the service.

    apart from checking emails, no work was done. I’m behind with some clients.

    I did however get the decorated bedroom furniture ready so will hopefully get first two items in this evening.  Apart from that, there’s little to report though 2 vinted items are being delisted and sent to the charity shop.  I need some movement of things from the house.

    am at a client this morning so need to get motoring. Today I am grateful for

    Well done on getting the bedroom ready for furniture. A nice clear room is heartening.

    I'm guessing you are still waiting for the nightmare client to get their act together. It's most unfair for them to hover when you could do with getting on with your life.

    An Indian afternoon tea sounded ‘interesting’ pity it wasn’t up to scratch. Think I’d rather have a normal one though even if it had had good service.
    You will have the bedroom ready for your Dd……it’s surprising what a deadline can do for motivation. Don’t be hard on yourself you’ve had some tough times recently and your body needs time to process and recover.
