    Thanks very much for your comments. I agree that some people need to live in my shoes for a day to see what life is really like!

    Yes, working would make things more difficult for myself and my husband and I suppose I would be doing this for other people.
    I would never do something to please other people, even more so when it comes to MY health! Make the right decision for you and your hubby and to he!! with the others!

    Sorry I haven't responded to your replies. I also look after my dad and have had to take him for appointments etc for the last couple of days.

    You're all completely right. I really should stand up for myself!

    Thanks again

    And limit the time you spend with people who do you down - they are a drain on your energy.
